REDDITCH player-manager Rob Allen says his side can go on to win promotion - if they beat runaway leaders Stone on Saturday.

The Bromsgrove Road side visit Staffordshire (2.30pm start) knowing they can gain ground on second placed Droitwich.

And Allen said the club would press ahead with a decision to award Droitwich points at Redditch's expense - provided his charges could cause an upset at the weekend.

The match in question was awarded to Droitwich after an umpire failed to show for a rearranged fixture at Bromsgrove Road.

"We are thinking over whether to appeal," said the Redditch boss.

"It would cost £100 but if we win on Saturday I know we can go on to win promotion with a top two finish.

"Otherwise we are relying on Droitwich dropping points."

Holidaying centre back and captain Jason Spyer is the only absentee for the testing trip.

"Our seconds play with two full backs rather than a centre back so there is no-one to fill Jason's role," he said. "We might move John Kimberley from midfield and promote someone in the middle of the park."

Redditch kept their promotion hopes alive with a 4-3 win over Market Drayton at the weekend.
