Don't think Moyes or Alexander have had a kind word to say about us since. Weren't we favourites v Preston? One of the few matches I remember going to certain we were gonna win. Also remember it as a convincing win, think they only had one real chance early on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smeghead83 Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 It's not really been touched upon but I remember our last semis in the playoffs, in particular the 1st leg away at Gary Megson's West Brom. We found ourselves 2-0 down and looking like we'd given ourselves a mountain to climb. Allardyce decided to bring on Frandsen as sub for a striker, and was given dogs abuse from sections of the away end. From that point we came back into it, with Frandsen scoring from the penalty spot to make it 2-2 late on. The rest as they say became history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitestar Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 The Aldershot games where in the original play off format, when the highest placed of the worse teams in the higher division joined in with promotion hopefuls from the lower division. Was that better? 🤔 Hmmm.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter barryk32 Posted May 1, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted May 1, 2023 Have we always had to pay for home playoff matches? I don't remember having to, I'm sure they were always included weren't they? Granted, it was a long time ago and I could be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatanGreavsie Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 10 years ago, almost to the day, Yeovil beat Brentford in the 3rd tier playoff. Now they've just been relegated from the National League and Brentford have a new ground and are 9th in the Prem with an outside chance of Europe. It's a funny old game.

Buzzing about being involved in these, a couple of epic ties in prospect and both options provide proper aways as well. Will be shitting it come the days of the actual games no doubt, but it's great having it to look forward to.  Edit just twigged there's two play off threads as well, need merging!

Mad demise of Yeovil. The worst town and away day in word football by some distance. What a shit place of nothingness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to the LC game back in 2004 and the only fond memory I have of that is having a quick natter with Dave Higson in that boozer in the housing estate a bit away from the ground. Never bumped into him again before he passed the following year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
