Day will wait for Luton updates

Last updated : 12 April 2010 By BBC Sport

Stevenage Borough goalkeeper Chris Day says he will be following Luton's game with Histon on Tuesday that could put his side on the verge of promotion.If Luton lose and then Stevenage beat Altrincham on Wednesday, they will win the Blue Square Premier and seal a first promotion to the Football League.

Day told BBC Three Counties Radio: "I'll be sitting there waiting for updates on Tuesday night.

"We can't influence it. If they get the result then fair play."

Luton face Histon at Kenilworth Road whilst Oxford entertain Cambridge on Tuesday evening.

Stevenage moved four points clear of Luton at the top of the table with a game in hand and only four more to play after they beat Forest Green and Town drew at Tamworth on Saturday. Oxford lie a further four points behind.

Former QPR and Watford man Day said: "It was the icing on the cake for us. It isn't going to make our jobs any easier, but what it does is to concentrate us. Three points and the finishing line seems ever closer.

"It has put a little fat around us with the points situation. What it does is to give us the opportunity to capitalise and I think we are all pretty much aware that if we can get these two wins, where it is going to put us."

You have got people around the club that have been here since the 1990s and they have seen what has happened before, so maybe that's where they have got their nerves

Stevenage won the Conference in 1995/96 but were denied promotion because of their ground not meeting the Football League's grading criteria in time.

Day, 34, said: "You have got people around the club that have been here since the 1990s and they have seen what has happened before, so maybe that's where they have got their nerves.

"Some of the young lads probably don't know what nerves and fear are, and they haven't been here and seen it. As a fan, you can't influence the game, but as long as we are looking calm out there on the pitch, that's the main thing.

"I'll be sitting there waiting for updates on Tuesday night but at the forefront in my mind will be preparing for our game, the job we have got to do, and it will be a little sub-plot on the side."

Stevenage Borough's last four games see them travel to Altrincham, Kidderminster and Gateshead, before entertaining York on the last day of the season.
