Graham Turner, the Hereford United manager, has told BBC Sport that he is ready for the excitement of the play-offs.
"Two seasons ago we finished 17 points ahead of the team which went up in the play-offs (Shrewsbury)," said Turner.
"It's sometimes disappointing when you go into play-offs ahead of everybody else. But you know the rules at the start of the season.
"By giving the Conference a second promotion place, what they've done is give the league a terrific boost."
In theory Hereford could still Accrington Stanley, but that now looks unlikely.
"If there weren't play-offs, to all intents and purposes the season could really be over for most sides on Saturday if Accrington won.
"The boost given to the Conference by play-offs has been enormous and it's created a lot of interest."
Once again Turner spoke about the younger members of his squad many of whom have recently played because of injuries to several of the more senior players.
"We've got a very young side going out because of seven or eight injuries to senior players," he continued.
"But I'm not particularly frustrated that I cannot field my first team because some of the players have been out for several weeks now, yet our results have continued to go quite well.
"We have got a lot of experience sat in the treatment room at the moment, and the quicker we get them back, the better I will feel.
"But I am not unhappy about putting the youngsters in there because I think they have been doing very well recently.
"They're playing with so much enthusiasm and exuberance."
