Congleton Town's chairman has issued a rallying cry ahead of their crucial match.

The Bears welcome Trafford to the Cleric Stadium on Saturday, April 25, for the final fixture of their Northern Premier League West Division season.

Currently, Richard Duffy's side are in the relegation zone, two points behind 18th place Sporting Khalsa.

As such, they will be requiring results elsewhere to go in their favour if they are to avoid the drop.

Chairman, Charlie Porter, said: "Saturday is the day.

"We are under no illusions about the gravity of the situation.

"We know that simply winning our match may not be enough - we need the stars to align elsewhere.

"But our duty is clear, we must uphold our end of the bargain.

"We cannot control what happens in other stadiums, but we can control the atmosphere in ours.

"For 90 minutes, let this ground be a place where doubt cannot exist.

"We have faced adversity before, and every time, your roar has been the catalyst for our resilience."

Charlie added: "I am asking you to be more than just spectators on Saturday.

"Be the force that carries our players from the first whistle to the last, let them hear your passion.

"Every tackle, every save, and every attack must be backed by a wall of sound.

"Whatever the outcome elsewhere, let them say we went down fighting-or, better yet, that we stood tall when everyone else had counted us out.

"We fight for this club's history, for our community, and for our future.

Let's do this together. For the club, for the shirt, and for each other.

"Keep the faith. UP THE BEARS!"
