League 1 Promotion Thread

[Hurrikeen]

Good evening gentlemen.

Never minded County and preferably would have us and them promoted, but they were fucking shite.

Were back in here. Barnsley next

 

[JJH]

We go back up to 2nd with Swindon going 2 down.

Cheers lads, and don't forget the two games in hand

Got to win them first.

 

[hodge]

1 point off the top with 2 home games in hand, people say points on the board is the better position but would take ours over MK's anytime

 

[TomPNE94]

Bye guys

 

[Luke_ciderhead]

Back above Swindon, 2 games in hand and we have to play them at home still. Youd have to say (to quote the hunger games) that the odds are very much in our favour there. Preston look like they might start looking over their shoulder at the chasing pack soon!

As for the franchise, we'll see you clowns next week.

 

[Alex_BCFC]

Great result at Sheffield!

Looking like we will have to have more points to finish above MK due to their goal difference.

 

[JJH]

Bye guys

We should make a playoff thread dedicated to PNE, and just dig it up half way through every season for Preston fans discuss.

 

[TTOCS]

Nice day for us. MK Dons substantial win was a little surprising but they've shown they can win well.

Brilliant that Swindon's run stalled today and Preston seem to be useless at the moment. Is it a three horse race or should we be nervous about the likes of SU who beat the top team with a second string?

 

[Ciderup]

We'll see after next Saturday.

Bring it on! The Cider army are travelling in big numbers and we will be well up for it!! Win this one and it would be a massive boost for us.

Should be a good 14,000-15,000 there I reckon if you bring 4,000-5,000 like I expect.

We're doing our bit then!

 

[hodge]

We'll see after next Saturday.

If we win tomorrow even if we lose to you we have a game in hand and be only a point behind, so yeah still prefer our position at the moment.

 

[Ciderup]

Bye guys

I'm still not having it Tom. There's a long way to go and your lot are, as proven, capable of a long unbeaten run.
It does appear to be becoming 2 from 3 though WTGR.

 

[TTOCS]

Sold over three thousand so far. If it's pay on the day it'll be nearer five than four I'd have thought.

Surely MK will have 5 figure home fans? Be a little embarrassing for them if we have a third of the crowd.

 

[Luke_ciderhead]

Remember the game at Reading circa 2009? Im thinking something like that next week.

We will have over 10,000.

That was good. I was working for a company with an office in Reading and they were blown away by the 'bounce'. It did look pretty good!
DIVVY SAYS BOUNCE AROUND THE GROUND.

 

[Heisenberg20]

We have gone above Swindon without even playing a game, somehow they managed to finish January behind us even though we have only played 2 league games this month. Shame that.

 

[JJH]

5,000 is realistic, higher than I originally thought when the tickets first went on sale.

 

[Agombar stool]

Down to third and city have 2 games in hand.
Long way to go but bad day at the office for us.

Fair Fuchs to franchise for their heavy win at Crewe, didn't see that coming!

 

[TomPNE94]

I'll be surprised if we make the play offs.

That game has to be the most comprehensive and dominant invasion of a teams stadium by away fans that i've ever seen. 4000 of us bouncing whilst the home fans all sat in silence. Didnt a couple of Reading fans complain to the club that we were given too many tickets? If we play well and win next week, could be something similar!

 

[Agombar stool]

I'll be surprised if we make the play offs.

What is going on at Pne at the moment? Missing Garner? Negative tactics? All of the above?

All of the above.

 

[Ciderup]

I'm on a 'lads jolly' bus for MK next week so will be moderately slaughtered by the time of the kick off! I hope we get in!

 

[This Charming Mike]

We have gone above Swindon without even playing a game, somehow they managed to finish January behind us even though we have only played 2 league games this month. Shame that.

To put it into context, we have played every game in January without our two best players, suffered just the one defeat, that to a team capable of bringing in the likes of John Brayford (who they paid £1.5M for) and Paul Coutts, and yet we still find ourselves within touching distance of the top two, all on a fraction of their respective budgets.

Sure, today's defeat wasn't great, particularly as MK won convincingly away and City have a couple of games in hand. But I don't remember many seasons ending after one defeat and especially not in January. There are plenty of twists and turns to come and that we are still competing near the top given our budget and small squad is a fantastic achievement in itself.

 

[The Hand of Dom]

I'll be surprised if we make the play offs.

I wouldn't be. We're only two points off and we've been absolute dog shit all season so you'll easily make them.

Winning them is a different story, however.

 

[TTOCS]

Fun fact of the day, if we take 4570 to MK that'll be ten times their following to ours.
