ANOTHER tough week looms for the Alex with successive matches against play-off contenders.

Saturday's trip to St Andrews is always daunting but this season's should prove the most difficult assignment of Crewe's run-in.

The Worthington Cup finalist's six victories out of their last seven, before Tuesday night, puts them top of the form guide and a point at Birmingham can be looked upon as a massive bonus for the Railwaymen.

Platty's Forest arrive at the Alexandra Stadium, on Tuesday night and certainly represent a better chance for Crewe to edge nearer to that 50 point safety target.

Indifferent form has seen them lose ground on the play-off pack and Crewe could be catching them at the right time to finally put one over their former hero.

THE ALEX are offering an amazing ticket deal to drum up big support for their final six home games.

'Six-Pack' offers admission to the Alexandra Stadium for matches against Notts Forest, Portsmouth, Bolton, QPR, Gillingham and Preston at prices of £60 to adults, £40 to OAPs and £12 to juniors.

It's a great opportunity to taste top football action and help the Alex retain their First Division status at an excellent price.

Call in the club shop for further details.
