League 1 Promotion Thread

[Ciderup]

Very very tough game. Nervous all ready. You boys must surely believe your up now?!

I think the consensus amongst most City fans is we are probably up but we want the title which is nowhere near sealed. We are holding you lot responsible for our current misery, I hope you realise that?

 

[Alex_BCFC]

I think we are up but the title will be close. Will come down to how we do at Deepdale - a point might be enough.

 

[SirTomFinney]

I put a patent EW bet on the following at the beginning of the season -
Derby to win the league
Bristol City to win the league
Burton to win the league

If you and Burton win the league im £500 better off North End clinching second spot would be just fine by me

 

[SirTomFinney]

Derby have screwed my bet, was on for £3200 Wolly with the fkn brolley

 

[Ciderup]

I've got £40 at 16/1 on City for the title so it would be even 'finer' for me!

 

[BCFC Jordan]

I reckon we'll need three more wins to guarantee promotion. That would mean Swindon would need 22 points from a possible 27 and they still have to play us, MK Dons and Preston.

Maybe four for the title?

No reason to aim low, though. Just need to carry on doing our thing.

 

[Big Bird]

Can't believe we won. Said to my Mrs we need a goal or its guaranteed play offs when Beckford scored. Then Obika pops up. Amazed at how this young squad has handled the pressure recently.

I still think Preston will finish second but it could go down to the wire. Need a favour from Barnsley Saturday though. A win for PNE at Oakwell would be huge, though not quite definitive.

 

[Heisenberg20]

Should be enough for us if I am being honest.
Hopefully you Preston lads beat Swindon to promotion.

Yeah that late goal has cranked the pressure right up on us on Saturday! You seemed to be over you blip so think were in for a roller coaster ride until end of season

 

[Ciderup]

How many points do the PNE and Swindon fans think will be enough to go up out of interest?

 

[SirTomFinney]

I've got £40 at 16/1 on City for the title so it would be even 'finer' for me!

16/1!! I only got 8/1 on you lot Would be a pretty good season for you then!

91/92 I reckon.

 

[SirTomFinney]

I think if we can get to 93 points, 7 wins out of 10, then that should do us. But you just never know!

 

[Ciderup]

16/1!! I only got 8/1 on you lot Would be a pretty good season for you then!

It COULD be. I put it on in May, hence the good odds.

Can easily cover that!

Good evening. Another Preston fan here, thought i'd get in on the promotion love-in

 

[Ciderup]

Welcome Ben.
Come on then, how many for promotion then? Don't hang about!!

 

[TomPNE94]

We're the new Bristol City, all coming out the woodwork now

 

[Ciderup]

We're the new Bristol City, all coming out the woodwork now

You need a lot more than 4 to be the new us Tom!

 

[TomPNE94]

You need a lot more than 4 to be the new us Tom!

We have me, SF, Destruction, zander, SirTomFinney, PrestonCha, JordanPNE (who doesn't post as much anymore) and now Ben! We also have Ian but he doesn't post much. That's 9!

 

[Ciderup]

I would list all ours but I haven't got long enough!

 

[TomPNE94]

I think at the last count, there was over 30

 

[pnefcben]

I did used to post on the other football forum for league One 'http://www.onefootballforum.co.uk' but the banter is engaged more here it seems...

 

[SkyBlueElephant]

I think PNE will clinch second place, Johnstone and Johnson were massive signings for them in January. Two of the best players in there respective positions at this level and has moved them up a level from play offs to automatics.

Its no surprise the two teams who concede the least have risen to the top

 

[BCFC Jordan]

So did Johnson take Kilkenny's place in the team? That would explain Preston's change in fortunes a lot.

Correct, and Grayson still takes the piss and brings Kilkenny on in most games instead of giving game time to two decent youngsters in Browne and Brownhill

 

[BCFC Jordan]

Probably just to make sure there's enough pointing going on in the closing stages.

Dear Preston,

Would you politely stop winning?

Kind Regards,
A Bristol City fan who doesn't like stress
