Shrewsbury, feel sorry for them and a friend lives a few miles away and it’s an excuse to go see him.

I really hope Exeter beat Coventry, my misses cousin is with one of the Exeter players, he had rottten luck with injuries last season and never got picked for play off final. I’d also prefer to go to Coventry away than Exeter.

Rotherham and Liverpool are my other 2 picks.

It's been bloody obvious Liverpool need a new keeper for a couple of seasons.

It was like watching me in goal tonight.

Good achievement to get to final but once Salah went off they  were second best.

On the plus side I had £1 on 3-1 at 16-1. Which I'm rapidly drinking

From here it's just a short hop on the train, (in fact there's a direct train from Peterborough that stops at  Finsbury Park) to The Emirates. Arsenal are in the premier league & play really nice football, maybe I should stop driving to Swindon every other week & become a prawn sandwich eater.

I was about to say I would never get a season ticket at another team but just remembered that I had a ST at Hearts for a season (just happened to have been their best season in yonks splitting the old firm and winning the Scottish Cup.)

Fulham is fairly local to me and I’ve been to a few games recently. I have to say Craven Cottage is class and Fulham do play great football but i’d never in a million years be tempted to get a ST there.

One season I had two season tickets. One at Swindon, and one at Inverness CT. They were crap at the time.

This 100%.

Oh, I now have 2 out of 3 predictions, all down to Coventry to get 3 out of 4 then.

Just over 26k there today, thats a pretty awful turn out for a game when promotion to the Championship is at stake.

Neither club have great support. Both clubs been there very recently. Also most have seen through it as cynical financial exploitation of fans. Game should have been at villa park.

3 out of 4 for me if it stays with Coventry, I am happy with that, Exeter look really poor with Coventry doing all the attacking.

Exeter were too happy to sit back and let Coventry come at them and offering little going forwards, then at 2-0 Exeter crumbled.

Game should have been at villa park.
I hope that when Wembley is sold then the play off finals will be more suitably held roughly equidistant from both participating clubs, any ground that can hold 40k would normally be adequate for the lower ones (except maybe Coventry who took nearly 40k yesterday) but tat would be taken into account.
