Ian Royal Is it just me that thinks promotion this year would be too soon and a bad thing?

I'd rather finish 7/8/9 or 5/6 and fail in the PO semis. Then be better prepared to take the division by storm next year.


Fcuk that, I want promotion


Can I get a HELL YEAH :shock:

No....

Fair enough

This gets discussed ad infinitum on here, promotion is never a bad thing. If we missed out there is no guarantee that we will be able to take the division by storm next year. Stam could get annoyed by the takeover not happening and walk, the form of players next year could fall away, other teams could just be better.

Plus, finally winning a p/o final would probably be worth whatever happens in the PL.

Absolutely, look at Wigan, lost in the play-offs one season, relegated the next and now they look like going back to League One again.

+1.

Open top bus tour of the town would be great on the Sunday before the Final. Might have to make a replica of the trophy, unless someone with influence can persuade the Football League to get our hands on it in advance. It's only 24 hours early, should be ok.

I've still got the key to Wembley, so should be able to just nip in and grab it.

Only issue is what the route would be?.

Can't go up Station Hill anymore, unless they can get a bus to climb the stairs. It would have to just go into town, along Friar Street, and then around Forbury and back out again.

We need to plan the town layout around future bus tour routes.

If Hope Akpan can be a championship player than I'm sure they can make a stair-climbing bus.

When do all the play off dates get announced?

Going to ensure I book off possible semi final dates and the final just in case.
