Leaders Truro City have never played higher than the National League South and manager John Askey says the whole of Cornwall is willing them to climb the ladder.
The club had to play games at Plymouth, Torquay and Gloucester City after selling their stadium in 2020 but are back in the city now and looking for promotion.
“We weren’t expected to be up there,” Askey said.
“We were favourites for relegation but as time goes on you keep looking at the table. As soon as someone goes top they seem to fall away, I have never known a season with so many teams still in the title race with four games to go.
“It’s our first year back in Truro after a nomadic few years, so everyone is behind us and we feel that. The whole of Cornwall wants us to get to that next step.”
Truro face Hornchurch on Saturday, while Torquay face Slough – with the two teams playing each other on Good Friday.
“That’s possibly the biggest game in the club’s history,” adds Askey.
With every point vital, the race will surely go to the wire.
