Playoff Final Prediction

[B2TF]

COME ON WREXHAM!!!!!!! Every true football fan is behind you against these fakes.

 

[Tranmerewhite]

Is there anyone at this game? Like a friendly match in atmosphere.

 

[Soup Ladle]

Shocker of a decision

 

[Liam_SWFC]

Come on Wrexham ffs, the thought of any of the others in the football league is awful.

That beavon tried his best but he's absolutely bobbins

Cole Stockton must have really fallen from his perch if he cant get in this Wrexham strikeforce.

Injured I think. And not interested.

Beavon is actually a very good footballer. But as he's about 4 ft 10 he's not best suited to the line frontman role we keep making him play.

 

[B2TF]

I have new found respect for your chairman after that

Same here!

Good luck to Wrectum tonight, and if not let Eastleigh go up for the comedy value. Bradford City will visit the Silverlake in their first EFL game, and a load of away fans' photos will go viral of this wonky ground from the non-league thanks to helpful retweets from people with usernames like ManLikeMorata.

Was ever so intrigued by the last two Flyde games, having visited on Saturday, initially intending to go to the Tranmere Rovers vs. Bury game but it being called off at noon. It felt when we got there that we may have already seen peak Flyde. The crowd was subdued and looked well down on our previous visits. They'd mixed the side up a bit and we glided past them. I looked up at the white bird shit pouring down the black cladding underneath the snazzy cellular roof beams on their grand stand and thought to myself if this was like visiting Nene Park at the same time ten years ago, that at least I can say I've been here before it all goes.

The official attendance vs. the Shaymen, with 350 away fans, was a laughable 1,891 given actual appearances. The PA man made a point of asking Flydians to stay behind after the game to watch their players do the lap of honour and it was pretty sad to see these blokes, on thousands a week, having got all this way through being spotted on park pitches as kids dribbling past five consecutive boys three years above, rising through the ranks at BELTs and no doubt expecting all the fast living and idolisation that traditionally is associated with the professional footballer... doing a lap of honour in front of two completely empty ends, and less than fifty that I saw remaining in the touchline terrace. You almost wanted to stay behind and clap for them, but the temperature had dropped, the wind was billowing and it was pouring down.

So a touch over 1,500 Flyde there on Saturday, or more likely 1,000 or so plus 500 season ticket holding absentees (can't imagine where they all went). There must've been 200 Harrogant there last night if that, seeing they had a smaller section of seating and a smaller presence behind the goal. For the biggest match of either side's history, 331 fans were officially down on the dead rubber game that Saturday against the Shaymen. Normally the playoffs are huge, and a tenner entrance fee incentivises it. I know with our big games people come up from the south, exiles fly over, fair weathers turn up, hen-pecked husbands bring their extended families, a group of three mates becomes eight... all that added up to a deficit for Flyde, as it couldn't plug the flow of Blackpool fans crawling back to their spiritual home. Sad!

Commiserations to the traditional, hard-nut, working class town of Harrogant, and we'll see you next season.

That's a great post.

 

[EnglishRed]

Eastleigh play acting.

 

[BarraMatt]

Neither will be wanting extra time and having the semi final at the weekend, away against a side fresh from a week off.

Having said that, it hasn't exactly been a high intensity game.

 

[EnglishRed]

Still seething over that disallowed goal.

 

[Master D]

Their keeper has been down and on death’s door about 49 times in this game.

Me too. Oh you mean tonight? Thought you were on about Nathan Clarke's at The Race Course back in September.

Yeah but only in the abstract so it doesn't count. #Brexit

 

[B2TF]

This is going to penalties, innit...…..

 

[Tranmerewhite]

This is going to penalties, innit...…..

They'll be 0-0 too.

 

[B2TF]

Come on one of yous, I wanna put me crumpets on.

 

[Lamby]

Wrexham are such a dirty and faking it team

 

[EnglishRed]

Well that was inevitable.

 

[BarraMatt]

Some goal.

 

[Buxton Vale]

oh crap.......come on Wrexham

[B2TF]

Still backing Wrexham to go through. #Believe.

I thought it was him- got the first goal at The Shay in 2011?

 

[Soup Ladle]

Fuck sake

 

[EnglishRed]

Great strike. As poor as we've been they don't deserve it.

Lamby- Wrexham the dirty team?

 

[Lamby]

Hope this ref gets in an accident on the way home.

Someone's bitter. What a bellend you are.

 

[chief]

Someone's bitter. What a bellend you are.

You're an uber c***.

 

[Luke Imp]

A goal totally out of keeping with the attacking quality of the game.

Neither team has a decent focal point up front. Eastleigh have height but don't use it well enough (Pearson is winning everything tbh) and Wrexham's options are Boden and Holroyd - both dwarfs who drop off and come towards the ball with their back to goal.
