Wallace is chasing a Wembley double

Stevenage chairman Phil Wallace has asked the people of the town to support the club in their bid for promotion.

Boro face promotion rivals Torquay and Kidderminster, both at home, in the next four days as they hope to cement their place in the play-offs.

"Since losing at Kidderminster, we have had a draw and three wins. It's great to be back in that sort of form again," he told BBC Three Counties Radio.

"This is where we need the people of Stevenage to get behind us."

Stevenage have had an amazing turn around of form since the start of the season when it took them six games to record their first win.

They have only lost once now in 27 games, a run that goes back to the start of December.

We are just concentrating on the promotion. A second visit to Wembley would be great, but not so great if you lose. The focus is to finish as one of the promoted sides from this league Stevenage chairman Phil Wallace

Wallace said: "We have had a great run-in and have a really strong side with a good mental approach to the game. I think we are probably one of the best sides that sit in the top five or six clubs at the top, so I think there is a very good chance we can do it."

Boro have already booked a place in the FA Trophy next month, and would like to add another visit a week later in the Blue Square Premier play-off final.

"As far as the Trophy goes, we are in the final and have banked that now. We have put this behind us until after we have played in the play-offs, but the preparations are going on behind the scenes with tickets being sold and all the arrangements have been made so that's not really a consideration for us right now," he said.

"We are just concentrating on the promotion. A second visit to Wembley would be great, but not so great if you lose. The focus is to finish as one of the promoted sides from this league."
