2025 promotion thread

Second to last game of the season has the potential to be ridiculous. One thing for sure is it will not be 3pm on the Saturday.

Having yourselves and Stockport at home feels like a great opportunity. Winning those games all but puts you both to the sword.

Although the form table looks healthy for us, we haven't been playing very well lately and it wouldn't take much for those 1-0 wins to turn into 1-0 losses. Still, we have an excellent run-in, playing a lot of teams with nothing to play for. The bookies rightly have us as favourites, but still very much to play for.

I was looking at our fixtures and was encouraged by having a lot of teams with nothing to play for but then I imagine it's the same for everybody because the bottom four look nailed on, the title winners are nailed on so it's only really 2nd-9th that will have anything to play for.

think someone's dissing the integrity of the mid-table trophy here. Poor form.

We're promoted if Wycombe don't beat Reading on Saturday and we win vs Barnsley and vs Peterborough on Tuesday.

We'll be champions on Tuesday if the above happens and Wrexham fail to beat both Burton (Saturday) and Wigan (Tuesday).

If those scenarios fail to materialise, it'll still happen. No-one's catching you...just enjoy the ride until it does.

Congrats to Brum although it's been a foregone conclusion for a long time.

Perhaps time to check in on the race for the last playoff spot though.

Reading's run-in (68 pts currently)

Bolton's run-in (66 pts):

Hudds (64 pts):

Orient (63 pts):

It's between Bolton and Reading for me, looking at the form table...

Playoffs almost sewn up for us now with a 10 point gap. Keen to try and get 4th for the second leg at home and also want to avoid Stockport as they’re the one team I worry most about beating over two legs. Automatics out of reach but we still have a big say in who makes them with games against both Wrexham and Wycombe to come

Do you think they’re out of reach? I mean, you’ve still got to play both Wrexham and Wycombe so potential to make up points there. Wycombe have Stockport too and I wouldn’t say Wrexham’s away games are straightforward at all.

I’d say so. We need to win every game and hope Wrexham slip up 3 times, unless we can boost our GD against them with a decent margin win. That’s before needing Wycombe and Wrexham to slip up too. Although we can be one of the games they slip up in we’re not great away so to go to both Wrexham and Wycombe to win would be a huge ask. It’s not impossible but I can’t see us going 4 from 4
