Steve Jupp, BA11's Club Historian, considers the Robins' home fixture against the Crusaders on Saturday
There is now less than a month of the season remaining and the race for Southern League Premier Division survival, still with many runners and riders, enters the home straight.
Every team battling to stay up now has six fixtures to play and with basement boys Marlow all but mathematically certain of facing the drop, the three others who will join them is still anyone’s guess.
Frome’s disappointing defeat to Wimborne on Tuesday has somewhat handicapped their own hopes of dodging the drop, but supporters can take heart from the fact that following their other four defeats since the end of November, they have always bounced back with a decent run of results.
A repeat is now essential, and they will face a big test at Badgers Hill on Saturday against a Hungerford Town outfit who themselves, less than three months ago, were in the mire at the wrong end of the league.
The Crusaders have had an astonishing change of fortune since the turn of the year. In early January, they languished in the relegation zone before an abrupt upturn in form, eight wins and a draw from nine, saw them rocket up the table with last weekend’s surprise 1-0 home loss to Winchester being only their second reverse of 2025.
They are currently seventh, some nine points shy of a play-off spot and that Winchester setback has probably killed off any lingering hope for now of a return to National League South.
The sides met at Bulpit Lane back in September with the Scarlet Runners on a run of four straight dismal defeats and they stopped the rot with a battling 0-0 draw, all the more impressive as Hungerford had put NINE past Plymouth Parkway days earlier.

Nice One Juppy.
There's no doubt that the next two home games will seal our fate one way or tuther.
A loss to Hungerford would be a disaster after the Wimborne result.. It would put so much pressure on the team to win the Chertsey game. and there's no guarantee with that one either. as Chertsey are very decent away from home.
How we need some goals against Hungerford - that's the biggest understatement of all time! . We've lost two very talented players recently in Curtis and Marcus Day - both game changers in their own right and ideal off the bench. It would be a disaster if one of our forwards were injured now.
It wouldn't surprise me…
