OMG! MILLWALL MIGHT GET PROMOTED - but not in 2023 :)

Please not now BBW, we’re hurting enough as it is. 

With any luck Middlesbrough will do to Millwall in the Play-Offs what they've just done to Norwich.

Massive result for us today. Quietly confident we’ll make the playoffs now. Can’t see us getting past Boro though if we do make it. But just to be in the mix will be a massive achievement for us, the 15th biggest budget in the league. And we’re seeing progress with each season. If nothing else it’ll be another sell out at The Den, so a few extra pennies in the coffers. Onwards and upwards

Blackburn and Coventry drawing was the worst result really. Now they play the bottom 2 and Blackburn on the final day. 

All the results went their way last night.

Blackburn v Coventry drawing (the Coventry keeper scored a last minute equaliser)
Norwich drew at a piss poor QPR
Preston lost at Swansea

I think with the 3 games they have left it's a given that they'll make it now. Blackburn have a tough run in and a terrible goal difference and a lot of the other sides are playing each other.

Blackburn and West brom have games in hand but............Blackburn's is a derby v Burnley and West Brom's is away at Sheff utd.

I’m trying to convince myself that Millwall won’t make the playoffs but their run in compared to the competition (many of whom are playing each other) suggests they will. Mind you, it’s so tight up there that just a couple of points dropped could mean they miss out. Here’s hoping, eh!?

The form Middlesbrough are on... They'd be my bet for the Play-Offs

Dropped a few points of late, but seem very free scoring

Apparently our crowds are supposed to massively fluctuate depending on how we’re doing on the pitch. Like they do at Charlton. 

I fully expect them to get to the final against Boro I would think. They will beat Luton in the 2 legs.

They always have a notable drop in crowds during the week, more than most clubs, which is as odd as apparently they all live locally.

It’s because we have more chance of getting day release at the  weekend. 

yep a 3k drop,  after a home victory,  for the penultimate home game was a bit odd , still they can claim their plucky biggest cnut/ smallest normal punters club badge of honour

If you mean the biggest small club thing, at least we’re happy being a small club (who punch above our weight). It kills you lot that you’re now classed as a small club as well. I mean you personally think it’s a liberty that you’re expected to play in the third tier at all. 😉

  I need to spend less time on this thread.

I was brought up on second tier footy with a taste of top flight footy and a historically superior club to our local rivals and one season in this shithouse league , you were brought up in this shithhouse league with 2 seasons of top flight and a minge of a club history wise .

Of course it's gonna hurt being a lot lower than our local rivals but my kids will see this shitness as the norm to them pretty similar to what you had faced as you were brought up with the neighbours being higher up the football pyramid most of the time .

I've never considered us a big club or even a medium club,  at best we're a small medium club, our support numberwise home /away ratio has previously been as bad as any club but bizarrely with our shitness those numbers still not great have improved with there being a reasonable harcore of travellers for what we have become which is a small club football wise
but our cnut factor ratio difference to the scum has narrowed but that's one thing like our head to head that is set in stone and we will always get outcnut by you lot .
