Follow all the build-up, live score, action and reaction as we bring you full coverage of King's Lynn Town's Bank Holiday Monday Southern League, Premier Division play-off final against Slough Town at The Walks.
Ian Culverhouse's squad is potentially 90 minutes from returning to the National League set-up for the first since the club was re-formed in 2009.
The Linnets' finished second on a mammoth 100 points behind champions Hereford, but still have it all to do against third-placed Slough Town.
Both clubs did the business in midweek, with Lynn over-powering Weymouth 3-0 in front of 1,223 at The Walks, while Slough eased to a 3-1 home win against Kettering Town.
King's Lynn officials expect their biggest crowd of the season for a tense Bank Holiday occasion, with extra-time and penalties if the teams are level after 90 minutes.
