Just thought I made one of the most outrageous cock ups ever.

Booked a holiday today to leave on the 30th May - just about to fall asleep when I thought:

'PLAY-OFFS - SHIT!'

Had to wake up and log back on - luckily league 1 play off date is the 29th May this year. Thank goodness we're not in League 2.

Phew.

Goodnight

  • Ha, almost a massive SE.

    My aunt had her wedding the day before the '98 Final - one day later and someone would have been upset.

    Interesting hypothetical question - if offered it today, would you take a place in the play-off final?

    Yes
  • Why throw the towel in with 19 matches left - and Norwich, Leeds and Colchester to play at home ......?

    Nope. The ball is still well and truly in our court.
    It's up to us - manager, players and supporters.

    Were all in this together.

    I know Oggy but I'm pretty sure you've been saying that for the last three seasons and see where that got us ;o)

    deffo take a play-off final , right here right now... as long as not against millwall ..... how anyone can think losing to soton would be anywhere near as bad as losing to millwall in the play offs i'm flabbergasted

    Yep - thats why throwing in the towel !!!!!
    Norwich are off and away, leeds might be gettable if we were playing well but feel like we are treading water and nervously looking over our shoulders rather than going forward.

    Yeah but paying attention for the rest of your life versus a play off final? I would rather miss the final.

    Like leeds a few weeks ago?
  • Thought this was going to be about Yassin off the wage bill!
  • Son is doing the Iron Man thing. As part of training, he's cycling the Lands End to JOG route in seven days. We, plus caravan, are doing the back-up/travelling hotel/restaurant stuff. He's had to change the week he'd chosen as I've told him that we'll be playing Milwall in the play offs on the 29th. That's been my prediction for some time, but will be very happy when Oggy proves me wrong.
  • I miss it! get back from a wedding in Rhodes late on the 29th. So i cant even watch it as ill be at the f*cking airport.

    Do i lose the £100 deposit and stay at home, but run the risk of us not even being at the final...or do stay with the holiday and hope we go up automatically?!?!?!

    The final is definitely on the 29th. As for the semi-finals, I've looked on our website, the BBC website, the Sky Sports website and the Football League website, no dates anywhere.

    League 1 on the 29th, League 2 on the 30th
    Championship on the 22nd (a week early because of the World Cup)

    I'm sat here wondering exactly how many championship players will be going to the world cup?

    Semi final dates/times are decided these days by Sky and the police once you know who you're playing. For example if we get Huddersfield there won't be much bother and it could be an evening game, but if we got Millwall they'd probably have to make it a lunchtime game. Ditto Cardiff v Swansea in the championship.

    Lol, thats why the towel has been thrown in Oggy, we struggled against Hartlepool, Orient and Tranmere at home, I hate to think what will happen against Norwich, Leeds & Colchester!

    The next three games are the big ones, personally I cannot see us getting much of a return from trips to Walsall, Bristol Rovers and Swindon and if that is the case you better start looking at the play off dates at best.
  • You lot make me laugh.

    The clutching at straws brigade ..... with 3 months of the season to play, lol

    I bet we've got a better chance right now of automatic promotion, than banking on the lottery of play-offs!


    ;o)

    Where are you drinking before the match at Swindon, Gary?
  • Not sure yet mate, i started a thread on it the other day and i think a few people were saying the Merlin is a decent boozer on the roundabout.

    Paid for my Swindon ticket...... so see you there!
  • Play off final or Final exams hmmmmm!

    Only one winner really ;-)
  • edited February 2010
    For some reason I had it in my head that the play offs were the weekend of the 22nd May so assumed league 1 play off would be the 23rd, so relieved it is not for two reasons:
    -Uni exams starting around then
    - Uncles wedding, Isle of Wight 22nd May. (would have been really difficult to leave and get to Wembley)

    If we are to get to Wembley, the extra week has made me feel so much better, even though my uncle would accept why I could not go, I now can attend and prepare for exams. Phew!

    Obviously we will bottle it in the play offs, so it will all be academic.
  • [cite]Posted By: cafcdan18[/cite]Obviously we will bottle it in the play offs, so it will all be academic.
    That's why, we need to get top 2.

    Sh*t or bust.
  • Oggy, you should know how it works by now. If we all assume we're going to get automatic promotion and not making sure we're free that weekend, we'll end up missing out on the top two on goal difference on the last day of the season due to a last minute goal somewhere. However, if we start panicking about it now and rearranging holidays/family occasions/work etc, then we'll sneak into the top two on the last day of the season, and spend three weeks alternately celebrating and bemoaning the fact we went through all that faff for nothing.

    Can't argue with that logic, Aliwobble
  • Nah, Pardew gloating as they pass us on their way up it too obvious a script for Charlton
