Come 3.45pm tomorrow afternoon, Southern United's forgettable ASB Premiership campaign will draw to an end.
No playoffs, an ugly goal difference, a stack of injuries and at best two wins.
Not even a win against Canterbury United in Christchurch tomorrow will be enough to spare Southern United from finishing dead last for a second consecutive year.
If Southern United fans thought they had it tough the past two seasons, they will quickly want to forget about this season.
The Dunedin-based team at least won three games and had a draw in each of the previous two seasons.
It even avoided the wooden spoon in the 2013-14 season, when it finished seventh.
Southern United also knew how to score goals in previous years.
It scored 19 and conceded 50 two years ago, netted 20 and leaked 39 a year ago.
With one game to play this year, Southern United has already conceded 39 goals, but here is where it gets really ugly - it has bagged just nine goals of its own, from 13 matches.
Southern United board chairman Aaron Joy has promised a full review will be undertaken at the conclusion of the season.
"Absolutely everything,'' he said, when asked how detailed the review would be.
"It's a total review of our whole operation. Whatever the outcome of that review, we will act upon it pretty quickly,'' he said.
That includes the future of coach Mike Fridge, who signed on for two years before last season. When asked how things could be turned around moving forward, he said luring three quality players to the team would go a long way.
But Southern United has fewer resources than any other team, and convincing players to play for nothing is not easy.
"It's funny in a way,'' Joy said.
"On our website, it's got Forsyth Barr Stadium as our home ground. We get lots of inquiries from overseas and they think we're a multimillion-dollar operation, which we're obviously not.''
One thing Southern United can do tomorrow is end a 10-match losing streak.
Its only win of the season was last November, when it beat Wellington Phoenix 1-0 in Dunedin.
However, it will have to overcome the "horrendous injuries'' which have hindered the team all season.
Ross Howard (knee), Josh Stewart (ankle), Harley Rodeka (hamstring), Jack Caunter (hamstring), Jude Fitzpatrick (knee), Shawn O'Brien (hip) and Michael Hogan (broken nose) are all out injured.
Alex Williams has moved to Australia for work, while Tristan Prattley and Tom Connor are unavailable due to work commitments.
Coach Mike Fridge has named a 15-strong squad, which includes six players from the youth team, for the team's final match.
Youth strikers Lewis Jackson and Ben Kiore, defender Ben O'Farrell and midfielder Hamish Cotter have already debuted for the side this year.
Mitchell Carter and Andrew Marshall will earn their first senior caps if they take the field tomorrow.
"We've had horrendous injuries this year,'' Fridge said.
"I would have loved to have the strongest team together all season, I think we would have definitely picked up more points. But that's football.
"It's not a meaningless game because it's a South Island derby. It's a great game to finish with. When you play Canterbury, you always want to win. We're not happy with only having one win.''
Regardless of what happens this weekend, the four semifinalists - Auckland City, Hawkes Bay United, Wellington and Canterbury United - have been confirmed.
