    Congrats to Morecambe, but you have to feel for Newport. Terrible penalty decision.

    So the top team in each three Divisions have won the Play-Offs this year

    3rd | 3rd | 4th...

    Bet Torquay are hoping they can continue that theme
    From my limited knowledge, I’d imagine it’s actually rare how often that happens. 
    Its only the second time its ever happened... 2007/08 was the last time

    Hull won the Championship Play-Offs
    Doncaster won the League One Play-Offs
    Stockport County won the League Two Play-Offs

    Exeter City finished fourth in the Conference that year, winning the Play-Offs

    So if Torquay do manage it, it'll be the first time its happened in the four leagues.
  • Cannot wait to get back to away matches and see us lose 1-0 in the freezing cold in January at Morecambe.

    What a horrible way to lose a playoff final.

    Congrats to @LouisMend though, first he gets married and then his half brother scores the winning penalty to take Morecambe up.

    That was disgusting.  Letheren seems to be a head caving thug, whilst colleagues seem to be able to toss themselves on the ground (and possibly elsewhere) to get a penalty. Meanwhile no VAR and a poor referee for such an important game. Why do the EFL leave the sport so open to manipulation? Why does the EFL favour one club over another? Refer Wigan / Wendies/ Derby for details. Football has become a Blatteresque pantomime. So, Wednesday and Morecombe obviously to finish top two next season............ Can we ever have REAL football back? The EFL will kill football.

    Guess we'll have the "First Game of the Season" prediction thingy soon seeing that the Fixture List will be out within the next month and now that the full list of League One teams has been confirmed for next season

    Today we found out who we’ll lose away to in the league next season.

    After that playoff we’ll find out who will knock us out of the League Cup first round.

    We stopped by on our way to the Lake District today expecting a heroes welcome. Nothing.

    Ok mate enough of the honeymoon stuff. Apparently the club are waiting for you to get back to work before announcing any signings so stop the selfish behaviour and get back to work ! Plenty of time for holidays later in life 😁

    It was a terrible game yesterday, with the main talking point being that Newport should have had a penalty they didn't get and Morecambe got a penalty they shouldn't have. I looked at the Morecambe top scorer with interest in case he might be somebody we might be in for, but I didn't see anything to support that. Thinking about it, surely Aneke getting re-signed would be a far better outcome, far, far better. Same number of goals in a higher division.

    I'll be over in Morecambe late August .. what odds they are our 1st of the new season ?
  • Mad stat that I read the other day said Morecambe have never been relegated in their 100 year history.

    Quite high. It feels like we almost always play a promoted side first game of season.

    Morecambe away on a warm weekend day is going to be a lot more attractive than on a cold, wet Tuesday in February.

    Glad to see wins for Brentford and Morecambe. 
    The oppositions can go and get something nice in Iceland supermarket as compensation.

    Interesting, had to look that up. Looks like they’re designed for 30-40 years in League 1 before they eventually make the Championship!

    Bromley have been blown away within 25 mins and are 3-0 down.

    Oh well...
