Well, of course, Britain's second most famous Elton won't be at TOSC on Saturday, but its a massive game for both clubs and supporters alike.
Bognor Regis Town, the visitors, need a win to guarantee promotion back to the Ryman League Premier Division. Chatham need to win and hope for other results to go there way to avoid the purgatory that is a summer's wait to see if we're reprieved from the hellish waters of the Kent League.
Chatham have had no luck all season. Kevin Watson's come in to run the show for the last two games, and in fact scored an injury time winner on Saturday to complete a 3-2 comeback and keep the improbable dream alive. What chances a Chatham win on Saturday? Bognor are clearly a very good side, and will be bringing at least two coach loads of supporters with them on Saturday. They're in party mood. Let's hope they still go up, but only because Met Police lose. We are capable of beating them if we play with all our hearts on Saturday - what we lack in skill, we need to make up for in fight. I have a bizarre feeling that we actually have a chance of pulling off the great escape.
There is a chance of osmething very strange happening and that is this. Picture the scenrio. Chatham win 2-1. Cornithian Casuals are held 0-0 at Whitstable, and Whyteleafe win at home to relegated Horsham YMCA. This leaves the Chatham and Co-Cas with identical records, in every respect. It then goes to a head to head - these are equal too, both teams having won once, and both having scored and conceded two. This means a play off at a neutral venue - I don't think its ever been needed before, but there's an admittedly slim chance that the game on Saturday won't be our last of the season... stranger things have happened.
