I miss the odd night game especially in winter usually due to work and it all being to much of a rush. No way would I miss this. Yeah kick off time is shite its on tv etc but unless I had a long standing prior arrangement it would take a seismic event to stop me being sat down in the ground at 8pm. Nights like this are why we do what we do. Most Saturdays are taken up with the football anyway this is one no different ,just a little later. I cant think of a better place to be at 8pm this Saturday .

EFL put out an "all you need to know about the play offs" article yesterday. Apart from the ko times for the finals 😀

You always look at the past as an indicator, but one thing is for sure, our fan base has grown much larger in recent years. 22k average in the 3rd tier is virtually unheard of throughout our history, albeit we've not spent too much time here. For comparison, we got a 22.5k crowd against Posh when we got promoted on the last game during our last period in League 1 9 years ago. That's just above our average this season. Our average that season was 15k. If we were told that we'd have 16/17k season tickets alone you'd have thought it was a joke. Who knows what we'd be getting in Champ/Prem, you'd be looking at talks of expanding at that point. It's what makes these 5 years in League 1 so painful, we are desperate to kick on now and to finally make our way back after now 7 years since that near extinction. It's been a long hard road back, I'm on my knees now to the footballing gods that we are 3rd time lucky in the play offs in League 1. Bradford, Stockport & Stevenage can all wait, they've had enough recent joys and promotions. Our time now, please 🙏

I'm convinced it's a myth that Erhahon offers some sort of defensive cover. For every time I've seen him put in a successful tackle I reckon there's a matching scenario where they've gone through him like he's a fucking hologram. Struggling to see what he brings. Also convinced that suggesting Erhahon replaces Sheehan in any scenario is the first sign of madness.

Barnsley home first was about 22k as well. The second leg one was boosted by being 3-1 up. If we get to 22k the place will feel packed anyway

Can't stand watching Arsenal, fair fucks on em getting to final though. Hope Kane bags 3 against them.

Same folk moaning about an 8pm KO at home on a Saturday will be moaning tomorrow they didn’t get a ticket for an 8pm KO in Bradford on a Thursday

It's a good job they do. Some of the recent night games we've barely had 10k on. Don't tell anyone our secret though as everyone else in the league thinks we are massive

He did the full version at Rock City a few months ago. Was a different tour to this one mind. Was absolutely superb.

A new day will dawn on Friday. Dinghies abandoned on the beaches of northern france. Vape shops boarded up Brown people all over Britain heading to detention centres. Cricket games on every village green, with polite crowds of gentrified onlookers swilling warm ale and swapping stories about their long drives out in the TVR. "Nige" coming back from trips abroad having left cowering foreign ministers eating humble pie and waving union jacks. Churchill on Fivers, Henry VIII on tenners and Dibnah on twenties. Cheap everything. I cannot fucking wait.

Arsenal for nothing. Never liked them in our Premier League days. And now they play the most turgid football of the top sides. City and Bayern for me.

Unless the lawyers manage to argue the criminal would be in danger if they get sent back. In my view that's tough shit you had your chance to be safe from those threats but fucked it up. Home you go.

By the way, I do think the Greens would be every bit as destructive as Reform would be, if they ever got close to running the country

In a nutshell? Yes. Right now, I'd pick Sheehan for every game he's fit for. This cowfield at Bradford; is it the same cowfield that the lightweight Cissoko dribbled their full back to death on?

He's another of those who's built up mythical status through not playing. Whatever it was that he was brought in to be I've not seen enough of it. He's not an enforcer, a protector of back 4s or a box to box type, and can't sustain what he does do for more than 70 minutes without starting to run through treacle. He has a nice left foot, looks after the ball well and can pick a pass now and then but that's about it. Lincoln haven't crumpled in a heap without him.

They'll get bummed whoever they play in the final

We don’t play with Wing Backs. Tutu has worked hard this year, but isn’t good enough as a full back or winger. We’ve stumbled into fifth place and it’s time to be ruthless, whichever league we’re in.

Agreed a great fanbase now, we owe a debt of gratitude to Sharon etc who have brought back the feelgood factor and pride, and of course cheaper S/Ts. The prices are so attractive now that loads just don't do midweek games but still buy a S/T because they are still worth it, especially (but not only) kids. Whilst the 13k v Tranmere was terrible, a bit of perspective. We were in the middle of a terrible run, the fanbase was pissed off. We got less than 10k for the quarter final, then had a terrible run losing a run of "derbies" against Stockport, Tranmere and Blackburn topped off by that infamous 2-0 loss at Walsall. Fans weren't up for it, understandably and it was a freezing January night. 13k was the same crowd as we got for league games around that time, so the equivalent of getting 22k for a semi now - quite impressive in that context given the run we were on. It can't be compared to the Swindon one (played in March) when the feel around Burnden was as good as its been, and we went up that season in our best season for 15+ years. Chalk and cheese.

I’m already logged on. I’m virtually camping out

It’s great - wouldn’t have it any other way. But I could do without that level of interest tomorrow morning at 10am 😂

Are you Sharon in disguise? There’s no doubt in my mind 😊

You’d think most would fall into this category. Holidays and long standing celebrations is fair enough. But can’t be arsed giving up a Saturday night puts you pretty close to shit fan status.

The ninth best player in League One has just been released by Wigan, if we are looking for defensive reinforcements.

It's a good game.. We should play it on here

It’s been going on for years for some crimes. Both myself and athy said we would welcome It for all crimes. Cheese an NIC tried to be smart and imply it was something that Labour had put in place when in fact it was the opposite. This is what happens when you don’t read the links you’re posting.

I'm not sure what the problem is with the 90 days rule, we always knew that would happen, and we apply it back don't we? "bastards of Brussels" - "Nasty Fuckers" - I think you probably need to clam down a bit. We wanted out, we're out, we can't complain because there are some bits of being out that we don't like. Rough with the smooth and all that, at least our borders are now our own, and we don't have loads of EU undesirables wandering around the place, unvetted, and staying for as long as they like

Exactly. It’s twelve months next week since my beloved had her stroke and the treatment we received from NHS both at Royal Bolton and Salford Royal were the top notch and the only cost to us was £6 a day for parking .

Train companies will find a way to ruin the whole day for whoever makes the final!

But not Simeone's?

Very much this, the reasons for choosing who you vote for at National and Local level should be very different.

One thing you wanna do away from home is to kill the other sides momentum. Key bit of doing that is keeping hold of the ball. No one does that better than Sheehan. by all means put in Simon’s and/or Erhahon at the side of him, but taking him out and your inviting wave after wave of pressure

Sheehan plays at Wembley whatever formation SS goes for

We, as a team, don't play particularly well on bad pitches, mainly because we're a possession-based passing team. Dropping Sheehan on a bad pitch won't make us any better. Plus for what it's worth, that pitch at Bradford is far from being a cow field. Yeah, there's a couple of bare patches near the byline in front of the Dallas Stand, but it's nowhere near as bad as some of the pitches we've played on.

But we all know many/most will not treat it like this. The chance to encourage the sword of Damocles to fall on a self centred failure. ATM on here it is like watching someone tied to a chair squirming as the hypodermic is approaching.

that's impressive

I’d be keeping Tutu. He’s a good player and I don’t think he’s particularly expensive. We’ve done a good job of keeping him fit for most of this season so he’s had an impact. Can also play 2-3 roles Dempsey. Another one I like but I don’t see any sense in keeping him.

And what if Reform win every single council/seat? That would rule out having any detention centres at all.

Aye, dogs don't count....... 🐕‍🦺😁

His nappy? - or the nappy of one of his vicitims?

I think we’re past the point where anything he says means jack shit. just need to hope he dies soon when he gets sepsis off his nappy

Reading in the local Notts events magazine, Tinie Tempah is playing here soon (not my bag, but anyway) but tickets arent going on sale. The only way to get a ticket is to give 4 hours of your time to a local community project. Had a look on the website and there's about 7 or 8 choices to sign up for, things like helping paint a local youth club or tidying up a garden at a school etc. I like that!
