Alfreton finished eleven points below Fleetwood in the table

Alfreton Town boss Nicky Law insists he is not concerned by the fact Fleetwood Town have home advantage in Sunday's Blue Square North play-off final.

The Reds saw off Workington Town 3-1 at the Impact Arena on Sunday to clinch a 4-1 aggregate win in their semi-final.

And Fleetwood will host the game as they finished the regular season in second spot - one place above Alfreton.

But Law told BBC Radio Derby: "We fear nobody. We respect everybody but don't fear anyone. We know what we're about."

Alfreton, leading 1-0 after the first leg in Workington, fell behind to Gareth Arnison's header in Sunday's second leg.

But a superb Ian Ross free-kick saw the Reds level by the break and Law's men eased home in the second leg thanks to Paul Clayton's double.

We are within 90 minutes of the promised land Alfreton Town boss Nicky Law

Law said: "They pushed us all the way in the first half. We were apprehensive but they are a decent side and had a real go.

"But once we came out second half, played at our tempo and started to ask questions of them, our quality shone through.

"It was a matter that we hadn't done ourselves justice in the first half. Second half it opened up and I thought there was only going to be one winner. It was a good team performance.

"We are delighted to have got to the final. We have another game to go now and to make it really count we have to win that.

"But it's a great achievement to get there and it would be a big shame to fall at the final hurdle. We are within 90 minutes of the promised land."

The Blue Square North play-off final at Fleetwood Town next Sunday (9 May) is an all ticket match.
