Torquay United goalkeeper James Hamon says a promotion for the Gulls would be the first step on their dream of returning to the English Football league.
The Gulls were relegated from League Two in 2014 and almost went out of business a year ago.
Torquay are second on goal difference in National League South going into the final game of the season.
They know that if they can win Saturday’s game at Hemel Hempstead by three more goals than leaders Truro beat St Albans City they will be champions.
Just three points cover the top six teams in the sixth tier league in one of the closest promotion races in years.
“It’s another step closer to Football League and all National league, National League North and National League South teams aspire to be back in the Football League,” Torquay’s Guernsey-born goalkeeper Hamon said.
“Torquay’s a massive club and it probably belongs in the Football League, so to be part of that journey to propel this club back to where it belongs is massive.
“That in itself is the carrot in front of us all to try and get what we call the holy grail, back in the Football League.
“Hopefully by getting the right result on Saturday and things going our way we will be one step closer to where we want to be.”
