The League One Promotion Thread 15/16

[Dayman]

Both loving and hating this in equal measures. I'm hating the very thought of being an absolute nervous wreck at the Keepmoat on Sunday and constantly trying to find out what's going on at Vale Park but at the same time...we live for shit like this, don't we? Yeah yeah it's nice to get it done and dusted before the final day but it's one hell of a fucking rush if you're on the right end of last day shenanigans. Just hope it's us

To give Walsall some hope I think we're the only team not to have beaten Crewe this season, Fleetwood destroyed us 4-0 at their place and we're shit on telly.

 

[joethegill]

Which game are we expecting to be on telly? Got to be the Burton game right?

We definitely are. They just announced it. Don't they show two?

Ah ok hadn't seen that. I think it's only the one. Championship get two, League Two don't get any from the looks of it.

That could all be wrong!

 

[SMH]

Happy with that pick. Pretty confident they'd have picked us v Barnsley had Fleetwood got a positive result today. Should ensure that we get a few more through the gate with no television coverage keeping hangers on at home or in the pub.

What kind of dick would want to stay in the pub rather than watch their team lift a league trophy though?!

 

[WFC]

Good result for us, bigger than usual away following and likely TV coverage + ££££

Yep should be around the 2,500-3,000 mark or so

2,000 sold before the game so I've heard. It's the hope that kills you but who knows come Sunday !

No, you're right about league two because they're 3pm kick offs on Saturday so I don't think Sky can show them.

I'm sure I remember Colchester vs. Preston and MK vs. Yeovil both being on last year but then again my memory is shit. It would be a shame actually if it's just us because Vale vs. Walsall will be a better game since Walsall have to win. Potential is there for a goal fest.

 

[F!RTHY]

What's the max away allocation at Millwall, anyone know?

 

[joethegill]

About 3k I think

 

[SMH]

Indeed. Unfortunately we have our fair share amongst our fanbase.

 

[LS Bantam]

Millwall would worry me as even though a 1-0 home win would be on the cards, we could easily see 2 or 3 go against us at The Den without reply, as daft as it sounds, scoring enough will be our Achilles heel as it has been throughout the season, should that be the tie we get. Looking pointlessly further ahead I would much prefer Walsall to Barnsley (better squad IMO and recent Wembley experience, a team we've struggled to score against this season), although where have Scunthorpe come from? In interesting final day to come, we'll rest as many as possible so can't see us improving on our current position of 5th

I think we were the live game but they were showing live goals from the MK game. That said, they were probably showing live goals from all the key games to be fair.

2k upper tier unlikely they'll give you the bottom tier.

Another night of camping outside VP, then.

Surely you have some priority system. I thought you went to a fair few games

 

[Jamo]

I can understand the likes of Leeds not getting the bottom tier but surely Bradford will?

That Fleetwood following isn't actually bad for them.

 

[Freethinker]

They would limit the away fans to the top tier only for 'security' reasons so around 2,4000, but will probably 'match' the number Bradford will give if lower, should we face each.

 

[F!RTHY]

I do as it happens, but sadly we don't have a loyalist system in place despite numerous requests from fans.

We have a loyalty card instead, of which 2,000 are made available at £10 a pop in preseason, of which ensures your receive a ticket for a big game if you have one.

Depends what you gauge that on, really. We had more banning orders implemented than L**ds last year - but I know what you mean.

General away allocation is 2,550ish at Valley Parade. I assume we'll receive the top tier only - 2,000ish.

 

[Camborne Gills]

Maybe about 20,000, judging by the numbers you took to Wembley in 2000

 

[Hedonist Puncture]

. . . . . . although where have Scunthorpe come from?

Nowhere.

BUT, we've only lost twice since mid January and have won our last 5 on the trot. That's bound to help when you are languishing in midtable.

It's maybe too much to ask us to keep it going, but we are in the last 3 to secure that last playoff spot. AND that is something we could not have imagined after getting pummelled 5-0 at Blackpool in mid January. We were looking downwards then.

It'll be all on for the three final playoff place contenders this Sunday and who knows the outcome, except that I know that SUFC is not going to lose in Sheffield.

 

[Walkley_Owl]

Which SUFC though?

Hopefully we lose. Could do without doing the dingles a favour

 

[Walkley_Owl]

Surely you wouldn't want your own team to lose....

 

[THE LAST WALTZ]

Don't you fucking dare.
We are clinging on to that last little straw.

 

[GFC4EVA]

Fucking hope you win as well as wigan, hoping millwall rest a few also

 

[PuB]

Dislike

I couldn't give a fuck what happens I'd rather have barnsley as an away day so don't want them up.
