Fucking long day ahead. Cars, Trains and no doubt the odd gauntlet to be run during our visit to Laandan.

3 points for us with Trollies' boys sticking it to Dirty fucking Leeds up in Yorkshire will do me.

COME ON!!

Promotion odds:

Leeds         2/9
Millwall        6/4
Charlton        2/1
Swindon        9/4
Huddersfield   11/4


As KOT didn't start the thread, Swindon's odds have drifted out slightly.

Train tickets have been picked up, beer has been bought, match tickets are in my wallet.

All that needs collecting now is that 2nd spot and a place in the Championship.

Im not going to predict the score as ive never got it right, but heres hoping for a Town win and for Lidls and Rovers to draw.

CMON YOU REDS!!!!!

Already come to terms with the fact I won't be sleeping tonight through my own will.

Cracked open a beverage and wacked on The Shawshank Redemption in hope i'll drift off.

Leeds                   1/4   
Draw                     4/1   
Bristol Rovers          11/1


Millwall                      20/21
Draw                        13/5
Swindon                    5/2

today is going to be a long day  :cry:

I woke up at 5:30am this morning!

Absolutely buzzing about today. We have nothing to lose, all the pressure is on Leeds to go up.

Just about to leave.

No expectation from me, just gonna enjoy the day.

COYR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Abit early ain't it?!

Got to work. Can someone text me score updates?

Can't go, nor listen today. Won't know until 6 or 7pm whats happened. Will be thinking about it all day though.

COYR !

As a one off, never to be repeated:

'Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams '

Exactly.

However I look at it, I just can't see Leeds slipping up. And it will be tough to win at the New Den. And so I expect to be in the playoffs, and I'm not nervous at all!

1-1 today.

Enjoy it folks.

I can't see Bristol Rovers doing us any favours but as long as we give it a good go.

YOU REDS!!!

He's got to get from Yeovil to Swindon...

Ah forgot that.

I'm leaving for Swindon at about 9am.

This is going to be fucking mental.

The best thing is that pussy fans like jonny72 wont be going, so I rekon the atmosphere is going to be absolutely brilliant.

COME ON SWINDON FUCKING COME ON!

All we can do is win and hope for the best. I've got a feeling Rovers might pull something out of the bag today at Elland Road so fingers crossed we can win this game.

"English Millwall fan this is your last game
We're not Galatasary we're Swindon fc"

1 nil Town!

Hoist up the Swindon flag, hear how the townend sing, if you don't wanna join in I'll sing on my own....

I don't wanna go home, don't wanna go home - This is the best trip, I've ever been on!

Today could be magic! just leaving for Watford now, then tube to LB for a pint in the market porter, shall see you all there hopefully.

I'll go 2-1 Charlie 2

Anyone who's going enjoy the day

Leaving in an hour, if anybody wants me to ring them so they can hear the town faithful sining pm me your numbers :P  :)

cant fucking wait, bring it on.

Thanks.....seems along time since signing Charlie from Poole...buzzing this morning and will be heading for the Octogon shortly.

2-0 Town..............Austin and Manks....Manks coming on and heading in late.

UP THE TOWN.

You meeting up anyware in London for a beer Tonga?

2 - 1 Town !

Gutted I can't make this absolutley buzzing.

No pressure on us today, come on town!

I,m driving,hope they don,t trash my civic if we do go up.

Just had to change all my plans last minute - was planning to drive up to Morden and jump on the Northern Line to London Bridge, then on to South Bermondsey.  Just found out the Northern Line is closed between Morden & Kennington so had to find a new route - bearing in mind my other half has the Sat Nav today so i need to go somewhere I know!

Still buzzing for the game though!!

1-1 and leeds will win.hope i have it wrong and we're in the championship come 5pm

I'm thinking about going to the CG to watch this, that in itself is quite exciting.

We're going get 3 points and a clean sheet. :)

Leaving in about 20mins, just spent the last 20 looking for my ticket - argh it was panic stations. Now safely found though.

C'mon Town, (though I'm largely resigned to Swindon being in the play-offs)

going to millwall pub with my mate leefer, see you in there.

Late shout I know, but my STFC loving mate has just been turned away from Gatwick due to Volcanic Ash over Lisbon. What was he doing booking a holiday over the last weekend of the season? F*ck knows, I think he may have learning difficulties, but the point is he now needs a ticket.

Can collect from wherever you'll be around London / the ground.

PM Me! Cheers,

guy_chapman

I dont know if its wishful thinking or not, but I do too.
Never thought Id say this but, C'mon Gas!!!

Leaving in a few minutes. I have a feeling we'll be looking at 2 draws today - worst possible result.

We are going to win this 2-1. The gas are going to draw 1-1 with leeds.  :beers:

Oh, and take care people.

Hope all those going have a fantastic trouble free day with the right result and lots of red & white celebrations in the borough of Bermondsey today.

Gutted I can't make it, I would love it...love it if we win and lidls fuck up!

COME ON SWINDON!!!!!!!!!!

As people have said, we've nothing to lose. If we end up in the play-offs we can be proud of the team and the whole club for giving us a great season so far. If things do go our way today it'll be ace and skill! I might actually shed some man tears.

Then raise the scarlet standard high.
Within its shade we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here.

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son.

Lets hope we have 11 men out there today.

Mark OD is ace. I know it's been said, but I'm in stitches listening to him going through Facebook group invitations, which should be terrible Radio but isn't.

Agreed, Saturdays arent right without him before/during/after the game.

Just on the train to paddington. What's the route from paddington to south bermondsey? Someone said a line is shut. Can we get a teainfrom bermondsey tube to south bermondsey?

Woohoo Mark O'D is going to play a song by my band The Communicators in the next 3/4 of an hour.

Banging on the Wall!

Thats my boys :)

didn't know you were in a band jj!

That was rather good.

Me manage them mate, me boss them and tell them what to do :)

They are actually very good even though I do say so myself! We are hopefully playing Swindon and Wantage very soon.

i love ska.put the date they're in town on here jj

Will do mate

Just got to SB, my son is still convinced that JD is going to score the winner to send us up.

Ordinarily I would laugh it off as extreme optimism, but he was also convinced we were going to win at Leeds :)

Keep on rocking in the free world  :nod:

Austin and Ferry back, LJF still at CB Cuthers on the bench.

LJF keeps his place today..interesting..not to mention deserved.

Interesting team, lets get up and at them, I can't fucking wait

COME ON SWINDON!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting interview with Trollope the younger on the Radio, saying that us, Milwall and a few others have sent him reams of scouting reports and DVDs on Leeds. Cunning :D

I enjoyed that too!

He didn't specifically mention Swindon by name ;)

I'm sure he's got a lot of info via his father...

I have it on good authority that Trollope Jr is still a big Town fan.

Come on - here we go  -COME ON YOU REEEDS

Come on Town, shut these fuckers up

COME ON TOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Nice star...Millwall kicked off as well!

Apparently Beckford's playing for Lids, and has been made captain.

Here's to him being sent off today...

Listening to Swindon....watching Lidls vs Gas....nervous as fuck!

You Reds !!!

Bloody hell ???

GOOOOALL!

1-0 Town...

DANNY WARD 1-0 GET THE HOLKY FUCK IN!

OMFG

Unbelievable!!

Well bugger me buttocks ???

Huddersfield 1 up in almost related news.

[url width=320 height=302]http://ongoingworlds.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/er.jpg[/url]

I've got London commentary on, they make it sound like it's the last 5 minutes, constantly. Atmosphere sounds fantastic

From the Beeb :

Swindon goal: A dream start for the Robins... Millwall fail to clear a free-kick pumped into the box and Danny Ward volleys into the bottom corner. Swindon are second and going up, as things stand.

Just look at the table on the BBC site: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/8669702.stm (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/8669702.stm)  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Shitting a brick!

Not just me then!

IS IT FULL TIME YET

so nervous right now.

I've been quite calm before based on how unlikely it was, but now I'm buzzing and terrified at the same time, just wish I was there.

It's the hope that kills you.

blow the whistle ref

Pen to Milwall, FS

fucksake

OH SHIT

penalty
bugger

come on lucas  :(

Come on Lucas!

Long way to go.

Balls

1-1.

SOD IT

Fuck it

BOLLOCKS -COME ON LADS

we haven't lost a game that we've led from the start.

Merson said it was 'a bit harsh'.

Another dodgy hometown decision.

that put us fifth :/

Anything but a win is useless.

Argh. Just in from walking the dog, with the great news that we were winning. By the time I got to the lounge the penalty had been given.

Still, we were back up to second for a minute there.

We can do this!

i know

2 Goals from Austin yet

what are the chances of 22 on the pitch at the end?

Millwall goal: A nice quiet start at the New Den. Lewis Grabban bursts through and is bundled over in the box by Jonathon Douglas. Steven Morison sends the keeper the wrong way from the resulting penalty and Leeds are back in second place.

c'mon town! i'd really rather not go through the playoffs!

Think there'll be a few more than that  :)

This referee is shitting himself

Lescinel booked for dissent, ref seems a bit picky.

Exeter just equalised

Charlton 1 nil up

theres only 2 results i care about today

How nervy is this???!!!

You will be worried about them at the end if the results don't go our way though

Beckford's just had one disallowed!

Leeds goal disallowed. Oh, and a fight. That might fire Rovers up a bit!

All this will add to them being nervous, not gonna be our day and all that

leeds down to 10 men

Ten man Leeds!!! COME ON TOWN!!!

Gradel for Lids sent off !!!

Sounds like Leeds are down to 10

play offs is play offs to me be it 3rd 4th 5th or 6th, doesnt matter to me, so its only really 1 game between us and auto promotion

Max Gradel you hero.

Gradel was lucky not to get sent off at the CG.

Hope their crowd is going to start working against them now.

Gradels a real nasty piece of work, there was a massive punch up and lidls fans are really getting on their fans backs by the sound of it, Rovers are playing pretty well actually and not giving in to them, its a good game to watch.

Afternoon TEF,

Thought I would join in the discussion as I'm listening at home with SSN on the tele and I don't think i've ever known nerves like it, wish I was at the game.

http://atdhe.net/18973/watch-leeds-united-vs-bristol-rovers

WATCH IT LIVE IF YOU WANT TO!!

Afternoon Bert, welcome to the shitting a brick thread

Took Gradel ages to leave the pitch. Likely to mean their game finishing after ours, which might end up having some significance.

Or not.

Bert makes an appearance on the TEF on the last game of the season... sure you're not a Millwall fan??

Cheers, this is just horrible isn't it!!

Someone has already added this to Max Gradel's Wikipedia!

"Gradel was sent off in Leeds 1-0 loss on the final day of the 2009/10 season."

As it stands we are playing Milwall again 2 more times in the next week

This is fucking horrible.

Not a Millwall fan I assure you! Season ticket holder in the DRS, I would be there today but my wife is in the latter stages of pregnancy so couldn't get permission!!

Thanks - I'm now doing my ears in watching that and listening to both!

Hinge and fucking Bracket commentating are starting to get right up my nose :crash:

At the end of the day,we've got to win this to have any chance of getting auto...

there's no link for the swindon game online? i just checked on justin tv but it only shows sportscentre grrrrrrrr

All to play for still.

We can still do it, dont lose heart lads, lets make heroes of the lads if they can pull it off......and we can do it!

COME ON SWINDON!!!!!!!!!!

Pikeys 1-0 down...

justin tv is shit. try p2p4u.net or "iraqi goals" might have something - doubt it though

Come on the Town, it's within our grasp!

Well half time and we are still very much in the race. I'm not looking forward to the second half!

I am watching it on http://mangaplustv2.eu.tt/ you can turn the sound off on this and listen to Swindon as you watch without it doing your noggin in!

what's he on about, we don't need rovers to win  ???

No, in fact I don't think them winning helps us any more than a draw would.

Hims a twot

I would feel a lot better if Rovers were winning though!

Come on Town, you can do this second half.

From BBC site: "Bristol Rovers boss Paul Trollope got shoved over by the tunnel as he tried to leave the pitch"

Failure couldn't find a better home than Elland Road. Pleeeease let them lose. (And us win, since we need to as it stands).

What's the tunnel got against him?

come on town!!!!!!!!!

come on boys  lets go ;D

COME ON SWINDON!!!!!!!!!

:clap:

Two footed dive in on Sheehan only gets a yellow?

COME ON TOWN!!!!!!!

COME ON THE TOWN!!!!!!!!!!!

ROVERS!

Rooooovers!

rovers have scored

Get in!!!! Rovers 1 up

rovers!!!!!!!!

Fuck me....bring it on!!!!!!!!!!

Wovers 1-0 up

Charlton in 2nd...

This is fucking AWSOMEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! COME ON TOWN!

Holy Shit come on Town it's on!!!!!

looks like i arrived at a good moment come on you reds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What an end to a season!!!

it's fucking on.come on you reds!!!!!!

All supporters cheered at the New Den...

Game very much on!

come on swindon just fucking win

Welcome Bert!!
THis is getting VERY interesting now!!

This is unbelievable.

One more goal lads!

I think WACCOE's just blown up....

Charlton second as things stand.

Here comes Kevin's best mate.

Oh my god how nerve racking is this

Just incredible!! I didn't think I could get anymore nervous but this is intense now!!

Bring on Amankwaah!

I wonder if they chatted in the tunnel :D

p2p4u.net has just gone down. for fucks sake!

How are we playing? I'm on my own in a pub in Grimsby watching Merson on mute... So nervous!

charltion 2 0 up

very even at the moment! i am shitting a brick right now!

ive shit so many bricks ive made a house

im gonna puke i think

we need a bit of magic from somewhere

Could you possibly be in any more obscure a place? ???

fucking hell this ref sounds like a right homer

'That's a penalty'

SHUT THE FUCK UP PHIL!!!!!!!!!!!! :crash:

Paynter fouled, should have been a peno but gets a yellow card. Super

According to Phill King it was a pen ::)

fuck.

no!!!!!!!!!!!

fyucking cunty bollocks

oh no

I refuse to believe that Radio Swindon is anything but unbiased.

1-1 at Leeds fs

Leeds and Wall score the same moment.  :badmood:

Balls

nooooooo!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

fuck - that's probably curtains for us, although we haven't won a game having been behind all season - what a time to change that statistic.

Double balls

Good goal that to be fair. We've got two goals on the bench - Nouble & Manks.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 :-X Ive just been sick in my mouth

Millwall fans on the pitch

I hate those cunts

i was in the kitchen and thought greer had scored for us due to that daft cunt commentating squeeling.danced around like a loon infront of my family, and now i look a right cunt.

dont worry i thought we'd scored

So did I

Fuck it

Me too, then I thought "Town fans are making a lot of noise"

Leeds 2-1 up

My boy was dancing same as you - I told him it was an own goal and he started crying.

fucking leeds! cuntscuntscunts

Plays off here we come

Fucking Beckford cunt.

fuck a duck leeds are winning!

shit!

Me too.  Twats.

bah, was fun while it lasted, concentrate on play offs i guess

Get Manks on...

Me also... text nearly everyone, feel a twat now.

it's going to change somehow again i think

C'mon Exeter...one more goal and the Pikey's go down.

Vic Morgan is REALLY fucking me off!

Bring nouble on

SHITTING HELL!

Four teams have been in 2nd this afternoon. This is mental.

fuck sake vic stop getting so hyper!

Right. That fucking does it. I am going to kill Vic Morgan :crash: :crash: :crash: :crash: :crash: :crash:

FFS - it's going to take a massive turnaround now. Perhaps the only silver lining being that as things stand we would have Charlton in the play-offs.

Join the queue..

im in

going up today was always gonna be a bonus, and a big ask.

i dont want Charlton!!! argh

bring manks on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was going so well...

Leeds can fuck off. Cunts.

I don't want Uddersfield

think we go 3-4-3 NOW, not sure Danny will go for it until 80 mins though

Not listening to the radio anymore, hoping that a switch to SSN will change our fortunes

I am getting in my car and heading to the new den to kick Vic in the bollocks.  Permanent squeeky fucking voice then!
 :cunt:

I never thought I would say this but you actually get a better of the idea of how the game is going from Merson on Soccer Saturday!

Charlton are the team I would prefer over 2 legs. If Leeds win today I hope we don't equalise

just put 4 up front. We've got nothing to lose!!!

fucksticks

pooh

we're done.

Game Over.

Fuckety fuck fuck fuck

cock bollocks....

THat's it then

fuckety fuckety fuck sake

Arse

oh shit never mind play offs here we come

 :cunt:

Maybe not then. I hope we can pick ourselves up for the play-offs, I feel so shit now.

BOLLOX

I want Rovers to equalise...

Fuck it. At least we're not Tranmere, Gillingham, Hartlepool or Exeter fans.

Wembley anyone? :)

Charlton it is then...

Hmmmm, we rarely lose by just the 1 this season. Not good for momentum this...

Charlton in the playoffs as things stand.

come on manks

Harris' best buddy coming on.

Wycombe 3 Pikeys 0

C'mon Exeter...

Alan OB for JP & Manky for Darby

o'brien on..........................lets see if he can win us over

give em a wave kev

we need to concentrate on keeping key players fit now.daft bringing amankwaa on as millwall guaranteed to run on the pitch though.
bet he gets punched

Second leg away as it stands.

Yeah, I wouldn't fancy being Kevin much.

He will get injured in a minute ::)

Come on Exeter, let's have something positive out of today.

Could mean a very quiet New Den for the play-offs if he does...

Is it just me or has Sky Sports Live Score Centre absolutely gone to shit this season? It takes forever to update..it still has our game as 2-1 ::)

they've already been doing it.you can guarantee they'll do it at the final whistle

Yeah i have noticed that towards the end of this season

I have the same problem too

fucking hope we aint home on friday as i will miss both legs if that's the case.

It's a shame cos it used to be brilliant and was perfect for days like today ::)

How does it all get decided on who's home and who's away?

Gills havent won away this season...didnt know that!

3rd/4th away first leg

3rd and 4th play home leg 2nd

6th v 3rd
5th v 4th

Lower placed teams at home first.

Exeter 2-1 !!

Exeter 2-1 up

Pikeys going down!!!

Get in Exeter, bye bye Pikeys

the higher placed side plays the second leg at home

yay goodbye pikeys!

I don't think it makes too much difference whether you play home or away in the first leg. We lost at home to Brighton and beat them away (sort of) and we played Trannies home first in '93 when we went up.

Get in Billy

yay!

Game on

Ooh

two goals in 5 minutes please!

Well done Bill, maybe?

Super Billy Paynter

nice one Billy!! keep the momentum going!!! Put everyone up front!!!

and a Rovers late, late, late equaliser.

At the moment we're playing at home on Friday, and away the following Monday.

i'm off to cook some curry goodness.laters all

well played Billy-Charlie to score next

come on town - it's still possible!!

All kicking off at Brentford....

Charlie is off for Nouble

and grimsby vs burton

It says it all about John Barnes' managerial skills when the physio keeps them up.

come on town

Manks has done more than Darby already. Swindon have been so much flatter since Darby came in.

Sounds like O'Brien's a fucking whippet!

Amankwa needs to play in the play offs..you just have to go for it.

Wonder if Liverpool came to an agreement that he had to start games if he was fit?  Would rather have Manks in from the start personally.

Until his hammie's go ping

like a guitar string

Which it does quite often....

f**king sicknote

GOAL: Barnet 1-0 Rochdale : Jarrett (90)

Jarrett?  Didn't he play for us once upon a time?

yup on loan

Not very often...

What a fantastic season. I dont even care that we missed out on automatic promotion, we have performed above expectation all season and i am really proud to be a town fan.

Im sure the play offs will be fun  :)

well played lads

Exeter have won.

Bye bye Pikeys !!!

made more of an impression on a garden wall and a car in old town...

Pity we gave Wall 2 goals ie pen & OG

Haha, fuck off pikeys!!

Pikeys down! Stelling had a little party on SSN.

Robin Hulbert just sent off for Barrow

Never mind, didn't think we'd go up today anyway.  

the pikeys are down

What an afternoon of football. I feel completely deflated, which shouldn't be the case because it has been a fantastic achievement to make the play-offs. At least Leeds winning means we can have no regrets about not winning today because it wouldn't have made a difference.

Roll on Charlton on Friday night - it's going to be a bit special I think.

Leeds fans on the pitch... but not over just yet

its is now...

there be back down next season hahahahaha  :cunt:

According to Leeds fan logic, they are much too big for this league so surley they shouldn't be celebrating getting promotion so easily from such an easy league. Twats.

On the up side, rovers lost.

Well done Leeds.  With that support, and a bit of extra investment, they could kick on from there.

I would have been pissed off if Leeds had not won, as it is I'm not too bothered.

IS IT FRIDAY YET??????

 :D The countdown begins.

They're a massive club apparently ::)

Oh fucks sake, why is the home leg on Friday?

Does this mean the away leg is on Monday?

Yep

Yes, I believe it does.

Well done, lads.  Proud of them all.  Here's to defending until the final whistle against Charlton.

All games live on Sky, and the FA Cup final on Sat.

With Lids winning, Charlton in the playoffs I think is the best outcome.  Millwall and Huddersfield are going to have to make long trips.

Losing 3:2 to Millwall with an o.g. and a penalty, no problem.  

I'll look forward to my trip to the new Wembley!!

Of all the possibilities in the play-offs i'm happiest with Charlton. They seem to have found a bit of form lately, but didn't impress me at all when we played them at the CG.

The Valley is not an intimidating place to go and with 3,000 swindon fans there for the second leg we will outsing them and roar the lads to Wembley.

I'm not going to dwell on today, looking forward to Friday already.

Charlton without Shelvey is definately my preferred playoff opponents. Not easy, but I think the best of the available options.

This is strange, if we had won at Millwall it would have had a real gut wrencher, today.  Also, a play-off game against Huddersfield I don't think would be a better option.

id rather huddersfield at wembley than millwall though if we get a good result at home to charlton we can go away and all the pressure would be on chalrton to get a result

Well that was an interesting afternoon.

So Charlton in the playoff's and it's on a bloody Friday? So got to be next Friday and I'm on friggin lates, might have to beg for a day off

Nasty injury to Charlie Griffin in the Trophy final, the other bloke got a straight red

are we not forgetting this... ?


...which would put us at home in the second leg...

having just seen the goals we seem to be unlucky.

it was a pen but he wasnt going anywhere the OG was unlucky and then the 3rd was a deflected shot which looped over lucas.

Good goal by Walker in the shield final, what a screamer

its says 5th v 4th on friday so were at home..........

but if charlton HAVE to play at home on friday then we're at home on monday, no?

why do charlton have to play at home on friday?

Completely agree, looks like we were rather unfortunate today. We know we are good enough to beat anyone in this division and have no one to fear in the play-offs.

My understanding of that Tom is that it has to be played on Friday rather than Saturday, not that they have to be at home first.

link -

http://www.football-league.co.uk/league1/news/20100505/league-1-play-off-dates_2248206_2044509

How and why??

I'm confused..why do Charlton HAVE to play at home on Friday?

ah, yes - i see...

thanks for the link....seems that we have the advantage in this one then

Correct!

That is only applicable if they finished in 5th or 6th and had to play at home first, as as they away in the first leg it doesn't apply.

BILLY WANTS TO STAY!!!!!!

Charlton would only have to play at home on Friday night if they finished 5th or 6th (because of the FA Cup final on Saturday). The same would have applied to Millwall. As they have finished 4th it is irrelevant (i think!!).

No, the FL link makes it clear that to avoid Charlton playing at home the same day as the FAC Final, they would switch the game to the Friday. Since they avoid the Sat anyway, it's as originally planned.

 :doh:

no matter anyway, we're still going through :)

Stuwall moment?

Well its done now.

We made the worst possible start by going 1-0 up!!!

It meant Millwall had to come at us and they did.

As for the penalty, I don't know. They only showed one replay and I was watching JFL because I thought it was him that gave it away not Douglas.

At 1-1 Millwall had the momentum and had most of the play but didn't look too dangerous.

Then Greer puts one in his own net. Fuck knows what he did, he had no one around him and was under no pressure. Such a shit goal to give away.

Then Greer dives infront of a Morison shot and deflects it past Lucas. Decent shot but I do think it was the deflection that took it over Lucas.

3-1 down - a penalty and two own goals.

We pushed a bit more, got another and that was about it.

Millwall probably edged it without looking that dangerous. Probably got a bit of luck with all their goals.

Our sound went out so couldn't hear the crowd. But nice to see Kevin Amankwaah come on. After the predicted bottling.

Whilst we lost the game, I think we come out of the game better.

I can't speak for everyone but I'm much happier with Charlton than I would be Huddersfield.

Leeds won so certainly to us this result wasn't important.

Ref total homer. Everything went against Paynter.

Bring on Charlton.

So lets get this straight the home leg will be Friday May 14th KO 7.45?

Yes

Sky Sports 2

Not sure I want to watch it on tele Dave, I'm going to have to try to get the day off. At least the final will be on a Saturday

My play off  final day off has been rejected twice

CUNTS

take the disciplinary :)

what did he say? Apart from the obvious

If we get there, I'll be there

That's really mean

Tickets go on sale from tomorrow :

http://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/page/TicketNews/0,,10341~2046304,00.html

Fucking get in....I can at least watch the 2nd leg on the Monday, I was dreading it being the Tuesday as I am going to see Al Murray in Wimborne.

I hope the away ones go on general sale

That might be my neck of the woods, unless there's another one

Thanks for the info, still got my stub for Brentford so will check Monday if I can have the day off, then phone up on Tuesday

Good day out, never been happier at a defeat, getting Charlton, the Handball, handball for 5 minutes was superb. Oh fair play i thought Millwall looked pretty useful, we didn't play bad, but they were better on the day.

Two things I learnt today:

the ref and linos were absolute homers

danny ward is too good for league one

Dont think the ref made many mistakes. Ironically he did miss a handball after the 5 minute chant which was funny.

Can't be too disappointed with today. We went into it with an outside chance of going up and in the end it was taken out of our hands anyway.

Cracking goal from Ward, then there was the penalty. Douglas definitely fouled the bloke but I thought Dougie was fouled in the build up. As for the OG, it was a good ball across and greer did have to deal with it since there was somebody coming in at the far post - unfortunately he got it stuck between his feet. Millwall's 3rd was a tad lucky, and Paynter's was a clever flick. I was amazed that there was no pointless pitch invasion at the end, although Millwall's (even) less bright fans did manage to get on the pitch after they took the lead. Well 'ard.

Bring on Charlton. The semis are bang in the middle of my exams so I'm not sure if I can go - might just try and make it to the away leg.

I didn't know if they would send it to me like they did the cup tickets but I'm going to get someone else a ticket anyway so I'll go down tomorrow. I am so proud of my team this season - anything else is a bonus!

The automatic cup scheme does cover the home leg of the play-offs, as when I paid for the season ticket I gave them my new card details just in case we were in the play-offs.

okdoke - I'll queue and queue and queue and queu and que and qu and q......

Wonder if we can get away tickets tomorrow?

I would've thought they would'nt be available until Tuesday.

STFC Season Ticket Holders only (new and existing) can obtain their semi-final play-off tickets, home and/or away, by visiting the STFC Box Office.

Wednesday May 12th 8am - 7pm (General Sale)

Thursday May 13th 8am - 7pm (General Sale)

A good day out, no trouble and an easy journey there and back. Shame we couldn't get a draw but there you go.

Glad we got Charlton. Worked out quite well for me in the end - I can take my daughter to a party on Saturday and I wont miss 'er in doors birthday on the Tuesday! We might as well play 4 up front against Charlton cause we sure as hell can't defend any more.

Bugger. I'm in swindon and my season tickets in bath :(

Match was alright.

My Top tip for the day - Never EVER get the coach to millwall

Just take Photo ID, you'll be on their database, that's how they can do it with next year's ST holders.

Phew. Shweeet


HANDBALLLLLL

I thuoght Millwall were the better side aided by the officials who gave us jack all. Their centre halves had Paynter and Austin in their pockets. I can't quite understand why we gave them so much space down our left - was Sheehan continually out of position or was Ward shirking his defensive duties.
A couple of beers in the All Bar One before the game went down well and a very well organised exit on the train. I'm happy with Charlton in the play offs - lts hope I'm saying the same in 9 days.

Enjoyed that. New places, new faces.

Obviously it became a bit irrelevant once we found out Rovers had Rhys Evans in goal.

From where I was on the right hand side it was a very drunken Swindon following. Which made for a red hot atmosphere at some points and then subdued again.

Great goal by Wardy. Looking at the pics on the getty and the official site what comes through is the team spirit weve got now. I dont think we could have got two better loan players than Danny Ward and Simon Ferry, 100% team players who have given us everything theyve got. Great pic of Ferry looking ecstatic that Ward has volleyed us 1-nil up.

I think Im the same as anyone in that Charlton were the prefered opponents and thats what weve got. But youve got to be careful what you wish for. You cant underestimate them, we need to do the business now.

Policing down there is an unbelievable operation.

I'm glad we've got Charlton as well but I suspect they're saying the same about us.

I think it was a case of Ward not really giving him enough cover, but that's probably because we were going all out for the win, rather than anything to do with laziness

Good atmosphere today, even though team weren't on top form.

Going to be even more nervous for the play-offs games - lots of queueing to do I see.

Evans didn't play.

Ooops.

(hey it looked like him on tv).

Got to say, I was very impressed with the police and stewards there. The way the police get the away fans into the ground and out is done with Military precision.

The stewards were also alright, not once did they tell anyone to sit down and were genuinely helpful.

Policing was good, apart from the stupid set-up involving the SAS coaches.  We were told that we'd be stopping in Blackheath for the police to check the coaches and they be escorted to the ground.  Instead, we were left at the side of the road for over half an hour, with a load of coppers standing around.  Finally we were let go with a police van in front and about 6 normal motorists in between, complete waste of time!

Agree with most of the points already mentioned about the game as a whole.  Thought Greer looked a bit dodgy at times and after we conceded the penalty, the defence was an absolute shambles for about 15 mins.   Charlie seemed to be tired and off the pace, which is a worry, as we need his sharpness in the play-offs. 

I would be inclined to play Amankwahh instead of Darby, as he has far better attacking ability.  Darby went on a great run at one point and then didn't seem to know what to do with the ball and we ended up losing it.  Amankwahh would probably have gone for goal.  O'Brien looked like he could be a decent pair of fresh legs, hopefully he can stay fit.

I reckon we need a 2 goal cushion from Friday to take into the away leg to help steady us.  Come on Town, we can do this!

Some of those Millwall fans were straight out of central casting - we were over to the left and there was one who looked like an extra from Minder, one who must have been in every "When hooligans attack" scene in the Bill ever, but top prize went to the guy who sauntered over to the barrier, made a slashing gesture across his throat, then did a full-on "cockney roll" all the way back to where he had been stood. If he could have done, he'd have licked himself, he was so chuffed with himself. We were in stitches.

So from what's on the OS, I assume the away tickets are on sale from tomorrow as well? Although I also assumed they wouldn't have them in yet - maybe they'll just post them to us when they get them?

The question was would he stay if the Town went up.  Paynter really didn't answer the question, just said that he has enjoyed his time with Swindon and he just had to sit down with the chairman.

He also mentioned that the ref gave him nothing, but a slight nudge the other way was an immediate free kick.

 :hmmm:

Coca Cola League 1 Promotion 2009/10 - Win Outright

   1. Millwall 15/8
   2. Charlton 9/4
   3. Swindon 10/3
   4. Huddersfield 7/2

I can help you - Nick Watkins said (on the radio after today's game) that he was going to be bringing the Charlton tickets back to Swindon with him tonight, therefore they're confident that the away tickets will also be on sale tomorrow. Looks like voucher C is required for the away ticket, fuck it - might as well just drive in to the CG tomorrow & get both together.

Paynter confirmed fuck-all about his future plans - he was just waffling, "Eeeehm....it's gone well this season.....eeeeehm I'd like to stay......eeehm me & the Chairman need to sort it out...." You can't blame him if he's looking to cash in. It's the age-old argument between us as fans just wanting the best for STFC, against & us fans being honest/grown-up & putting ourselves in their shoes.   

Great effort Town, 5th place is more than expected for the season. Now though we fucking owe Charlton !

'Payback Time'

Had a drunken day out! Quality.

Can of stella on the train at 9-30am.

Trains and tube to London Bridge and a session in the George.....Crystal Tips and her Shaperone turned up and had a couple. >:(

Cannot understand that i can get on a train at 2-30pm and miss the fucking kick off and goal, which i managed to see on the reply by the burger stand under the stand.

In the end it didnt matter - we could of won 30 nil and it wouldnt of mattered, so bring on the play offs! :D

Nice one, thanks One F

My pleasure, Paul.
Your comments about the Millwall fans in the stand to the left reminded me of previous visits there. Pure comedy, some of that lot. A different breed in those parts.

Few things to say today. First thing's first what the fuck were the police playing at? I and many others got on the tube at 2:35 expecting to make the game in plenty of time but the police decided they wanted to take their Time for no reason and delay us leaving thus resulting in us missing Ward's goal. What a joke. Then they rush back on the train after the game. WTF is all that about?

On the performance front sadly it was't good enough today. Still shite at the back, gifting them 2 goals, no passion, no commitment. Did any of them really give a shit today? I'm pissed off that I spend over £50 on a trip to this game for  a performace that was worse than the Lib Dems's election results. Utter garbage. I'll be at both legs of the play-offs but on today's showing we haven't even got a chance of winning them. Oh joy, onto next season. What a load of wank.

This is what Ive been saying since Colchester away.

If you don't fucking like it mate, stick a flag in it!

Handball!

Not a great performance really, tough place to go mind but recent form when under pressure is a bit of a worry.

Off to queue at the County Ground in a bit.Going to have to make my mind up about going to Charlton now, need to book time off work before the first leg result is known.

Virtually all Millwall fans appear to be Stone Island wearing hooligans.

When we arrived in the coaches, even the women and kids were doing cut throat gestures at us!

I can't say South Berdmondsey is the type of place I would like to live!

Enjoyed the day out though, and Wardy's goal was lovely. At that moment, I thought we were going up.

Can someone tell me, what is the song they play when they come out and when they score?

Found the song, their anthem called Let Em Come.

In my opinion BP played like he'd already made his mind up,Up to you to decide which way.

Every cloud eh IOB...

Great day out..did warn people not to get the coach.
A couple in the bunch of grapes then onto The Market Porter....what a brilliant market that is..real old school.
Nice to see a few Teffers in the pub.....Ironside baught me a drink,seemed a nice chap!..but then i was nicely mellow by then.
As for the match the atmosphere was incredible...thaught Sheehan played well though the whole team looked abit jaded,at least they have a week to get rested.
Had a beer in the Prince Regent on the way back to Paddiington...and toasted Stubbs the painter in the old Marleybone churchyard ware he is buried....in fact that old church courtyard preserved as a garden of remembrance for past greats buried there was a nice piece of tranquility in a day of lovely mayhem.
Well done Town.

Obviously pissed as he did the same rants on that crap league forum, sore head this morning i reckon.

Ha ha, yes I can confirm that The Flash had a truly drunken day out.  Nice new hat - pity we didn't get to throw it on the pitch in celebration of promotion and see Paynter dance about in it.  We will have to wait for The Valley to see that.

Didn't notice any problem with the Old Bill though I offered one a 69er and he wasn't having any of it.

I'm going into these play-off games positive - have to.  We didn't play well yesterday, but it's clean slate now.  Amankwaah surely has to play, again made a difference yesterday no disrespect to Darby.   Front two didn't gell, but their quality will come through against Charlton.
I'm going home and away no matter what.

Must have been a gay.

I usually aim to get in the ground so I can see the start of the game, but miss the stupid handshake. But it was obvious that you needed to get into this one early. We got the train down at 13.50 ish from London Bridge, and it was already absolutely packed out.

There is only 1 way to get to Millwall, and the overline trains are not as regular or as long as they might be for a 20,000 attendance at the New Den. Anyone leaving it until half 2 leaving London Bridge only has themselves to blame. Particularly as the facilities at the New Den are pretty good. Its easy to get a beer, lots of TV screens etc.

As for the cut throat gestures, down the right hand side, they were all doing them at the start of the game. Then a big ish mob of Swindon lads turned up, and guess what? Didnt see 1 more cut throat gesture. Just a bit of jovial banter about fat blokes. Funny that.

I feel like wet bird shit this morning....

NB - Did enjoy singing 5-0 but yer going down to some Pikeys at Paddington.

Southmoors Massive has got me an away ticket....urgh

By the way, weve got to sort our support out if we ever want to get some decent support going in these big games.

The fast chanting seemed to come out of a group of younguns in the Town end about 3 years ago, and like a virus it spread to our away support. In big games, you have to keep going with the chanting, otherwise you just never get enough fans singing to make a difference. If people speed up the clapping it all dies out.

I dont understand why we havnt been able to sort it. Its an embaressment to the club and supporters of other clubs pick up on it.

What can you do though Spencer? I fucking shout my lungs off about the clapping in the townend but it's hard to get people to listen.

I totally agree.

I love the really slow "oh when the reds" sung by loads of Town fans but its always ruined by speeding up.

taking out the  :clap:

the second E-I E-I E-IO is immense for me

enjoyable day out and probably the loudest crowd ive seen/heard all season.
play offs is a fantastic acheivement.

went out on the piss as soon as i got back and saw a few of the players out.
(to be fair i didnt see any of them drinking)
i remember slurring to Danny Ward that his goal was great and shook Charlie Austin's hand :spoton:

Jean-francois went straight home and got on facebook.

Paynters goal was his 25th putting him 2nd top scorer behind Lambert, is there such a thing as a Silver Boot?

I dont know. But theres no excuse. When we went to Barnet FAC, all their supporters singing were about 15 and they could keep time, they totally embaressed us that day on and off the pitch.

Shoot me down but I thought that was a terrible performance.Dont get me wrong this season has been fantastic but anyone who saw any positives from that game have steamed up rose tinted specs.Our top 4 performers of this campaign(Paynter,Douglas,JPM and Greer)had by far their worst performances of the season that I've personally witnessed.We were a shambles at the back,Lucas was almost as dodgy as their keeper(why didn't we test him more?)we were guileless in mid field(apart from Ferry 1st half) and toothless up front.Millwall were sharper,more tenacious in every department,more incisive with their passing and far more threatening up front.I admire people's optimism but you gotta be realistic we were awful.The good thing is form going into the play-offs is worth little when the games start so hopefully we can turn it around.

Lucas 5
Darby 5
Greer 4
LJF 4
Sheehan 5
JPM 5
Douglas 4
Ferry 6
Ward 6
Paynter 4
Austin 4
Amankwah 6
OBrien 4
Nouble 4

The last 20 minutes were a bit of a farce. But it must have been obvious for the players that results elsewhere were not going our way.

That's the big question isn't it? (re. Adje's post) Do we carry our mediocre late-season form into the play offs or can Danny get them to forget all that and take the attitude that everyone is starting again from scratch?

Let's hope it's the latter.

I just hope we absolutely go for it on Friday and throw caution to the wind because if we're too cautious we'll lose any way. Amankwa simply has to start in place of Darby. Who starts out of those two will dictate the whole tempo and dynamic of the game IMO.

wEll so maybe Adje is right.  I reckon Wilson didn't want to lay into the players too much yesterday afterwards, probably no point in doing that at this point.  We didn't play well, but we have to move on otherwise it's clear what will happen.

 Have to say also Adje was a picture of suffering yesterday, lives and breathes this stuff you can tell.  It's definitely difficult to enjoy it all, maybe when we look back we'll ltalk about how much fun it all was (?)

Is Cuthbert injured/carrying an injury? LJF has been half decent at CB but for as long as I have a dick he is not better than Cuthbert.

It's a lottery now and there's no point looking at previous fixtures for in depth analysis and guidance. Hell, this is the system that could see Blackpool reach the Premier League.

We just have to make sure we go to The Valley with some kind of advantage.

Town probably have the smallest squad and it COULD go against us. I'm excited that we are the club that could keep mighty Charlton Athletic in L1 for another season.

Let's look forward and bring on the Addicks.

Huddersfield have surprisingly used the least players in the league, with 24.

We've used 30.

Although from that Ritchie, Peacock, Marshall, Nouble, Smith and Morrison have played 10 times or less.

Revell, Hutchinson, Obadeyi and McNamee no longer at the club.

Ward, Sheehan, Darby, Pericard, Nouble and Austin recruited during the season

Better team won on the day. Douglas must be kicking himself today as there was no need to make that challenge. If only we could have held on that little bit longer I reckon we would have settled down.

Not all Millwall fans are bad. Met some real decent ones in the Pub (Barrow Boy and Banker) near Tower Bridge. They were full of praise for Town and were saying Millwall's problem is mainly down to the locals who mostly don't go to the games but hang around looking for trouble.
You could see them during the game outside on one of the corners. They were saying best getting to the ground early as the locals will wait and pick of anyone arriving late without Police protection.

Any other Club in the league would issue banning orders to some of those fans getting on the pitch however I was informed that the stewards are scared of the crowd and consequences. Only could happen at Millwall.

Impressed with the ground and policing. I guess more away fans have been made to feel safer. It's nothing compared to the Old Den.

Even their shirts have a relevant motto, "We fear no foe".....class.

Then you get all the Dell Boys giving it let em cam, let em cam, let em cam, let em cam all darn to the Den.

Still yesterday was the bonus ball and Friday is what a great season has provided.........we can beat Charlton so come on.........let em cam darn the CG and stick their jellyed eels up their arse.

Nail, head, hit. We've used quite a few players but that's due to turnover rather than having a large squad. Thankfully the changes were largely for the better and they've got us where we are. As others have said, the play-offs just come down to two/three games - everything else goes out of the window. Unfortunately for us, last time that included our luck.

Cheers. Lee Clark selected the same XI for a whe. Wilson did similar but chopped and changed his attacking options when we were drawing all those games early on.

Spencer, back in the day (when there were fences in front of the TE) a guy used to climb up there, back oto the pitch, to conduct the singing.
I very much see you in that role!
That is what required for Charlton, nothing to lose....

Huddersfield got all their targets in the summer.

Wilson has had to work on it all season.

Jimmy, a lot of us are going back in the Town End next season. Have high hopes the atmosphere can be improved.

In other countries they have blokes with megaphones leading the singing..St Pauli have several I think..again Spencer, I can see you in that role 8)

I'm keen for that. I fucking hate this inability to keep rhythm and tempo. Fucking retards.

something like this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMojbswC9mo&feature=related

Exactly like that. Quality.

Clap Clap
Clap Clap Clap
Clap Clap Clap Clap
CLAP CLAP

I've never been able to understand why people can't clap in a normal tempo instead of turning into a fast hand clap that kills out any sort of decent chant that gets going?!

I wish we could get an atmosphere going in the DRS but i'm sure i'm not alone in feeling like i've grown an extra set of arms whenever i start chanting?

Changes from the Millwall game should be, Cuthbert instead of Lescinal (STAY GOAL SIDE OF THE MILLWALL STRIKER!!) & Amankwaah in place of Darby.

Agreed..to be honest they have come along way as a club,the policing bill must be horrendous.
For me personally it was a great awayday and apart from the gay chap in the Prince Regent i didnt feel edgy at all.
Sometimes you got to give credit ware due.
As for the match Morrison was the difference on the day..that said if we hadnt given the penalty away i feel we may have gone on to win because up to then we were in control.

Leefer, did you feel edgy while you were chatting me up in the toilets of the Market Porter?

When you go under the railway bridge on Zampa Road leaving the stadium and turn left towards the Old Kent Road, there are some delightful boozers :D

You think the pubs are dodgy, try the clubs around the old kent road....

No thanks!

The African furniture store looked cracking though. I bet Del Boy is a regular.

I hit one in the head with a football by accident and the guy just laughed, fair play they were pretty well relaxed.

HHHHHHHaaaaaaannnnnnndddddddbbbbbbaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll :D :D :D

Fuck...been rumbled,cant even remember using them...mind you a fair few whiskeys had been despatched....apologies if i tried to feel anything that wasnt for feeling.

Believe that was myself and Jon who came up with that one after everyhting was a Handball

I was only just in front of you guys then, made me chuckle :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

My mate who was sat about 10 rows in front and right over to the left of us is also claiming to have started that chant.

But he didn't, because it was me goddammit!

FOOTBALL!!!!!

Yeah yeah, spartacus syndrome in full flow today, twas us london reds who started it...

i started it you lying cunts

Who were the guys with the massive flag saying London Reds? Not you was it?

No, they were from Skelmersdale

Yes i'm one of the afflicted. Didn't manage to get my mug on the O/S though the slimy gits slipped away for that one.

Ho ho ho very good!

suttonred, are you the guy with the beard?

No he doesn't post on any of the forums, he's much too sensible....  JFW could tell you who he is!

Great flag anyway, must have cost a fortune!

No we had a god negotiator, who knocked the company down from around £300 to around £180. I think there was around 15 of us who put in, so pretty cheap really.

What company did you use? I've been thinking about a flag if we get to Wembley.

I'll find out, i do know it was in Scotland, but still only took around 5 working days from delivery of design, to actual delivery of the flag.

That certainly would keep the price down.

I think there was about 1000 who 'started' the HANDBALL!!! shouts.

I saw that after the fact, it's a bugger trying to type fast at work with someone sat next to you. I just hope he doesn't read it and get ideas above his station!

Have to say that is quality.....so come on, who will take up the mantle (sp?) for Charlton!?!

(ps was that a football match or a Scooter concert?)

could I??

I nominate Crispy to be the leader with his Charlie the Builder song.

Cheers :)

There you go.   http://www.footballbanners.co.uk/index.html

I believe you went to school with Him? 

Oh! maybe? oooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Matt???

OMG!! you know Matt

Indeed i do.

hahaha! I got such a shock when I saw him in the programme!
Give him my love - do you know if hes on Facebook? 

I'll ask him but i doubt it, he doesn't usually faff around on forums and social sites.

hmm yeah he was always dead clever at school - bet hes like dead rich and has a dead good job!
he might not even remember me!  :cry:

No he does, as the reason i know you know him, and vice versa, was a conversatiom Me, Matt and KOT had at Wycombe about who we knew on the forums!

Love the randomness! :) send him my love anyways xx

Cheers. Gonna think about designs.

I can confirm that he doesn't 'do' facebook but if you google his full name, it's easy to find his own site.

Are you going to share the tale of the battle of london bridge here Seb?

we were talking about who had fingered you the most at school, matt claimed to have won with 9 times.

Has he only got nine fingers then?

Only 9? I've only got 8, must have lost one living up here.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gFlzBYccrw&feature=related

that looks a bit japanese/nazi to me much prefer our organic bollocks

The other thing about that sort of thing is you do lose that connection between the noise and whats going on on the pitch.

Theres nothing better than a good tackle, or a player taking on his man, and the crowd going mad and lifting the roof off. They dont have that abroad.

I feel that by no longer publicly sharing the details of 'the most heroic retreat since Dunkirk' I shall add to the mysticism that will enthrall and inspire Town fans for generations to come.

Or I can't be arsed to go over it again. One of the two.

You're up early! Still peeking behind the curtains ;)

Got up at seven to phone for away tickets, then found out it didn't open till 8.
Still getting engaged tone, obviously.

Amazing.

GREER.

Have just ordered my own flag off of this guy, in readiness for Wembley....hope he is kosher!

Not that I go on about this at all or anything but maybe just maybe my three STOLEN flags will reappear at wembley.
