First promotion for 17 years. First automatic promotion for nearly 30 years. Let’s counter your argument and say you think that finishing 3rd, playing good football but failing where it really matters is an achievement?
The arrogant attitude that anything less than running away with the title with triple figure points is a failure is why big clubs like Sunderland, Ipswich, Notts Forest etc got stuck down here for longer.
Less than two years ago we had about 6 players, no academy, no manager and had to play pre-season in temporary shirts because we didn’t even have kits. We were also put under restrictions, which still haven’t run out yet. So yes, I think getting automatic promotion in this timeframe is an achievement. A very good one, actually.

Was thinking about this earlier. If Bolton are winning by 2 or more with 20 minutes to go, assuming we’re drawing against Cambridge, I wouldn’t go uber attacking. If they’re only winning by 1 then I agree to roll the dice and try and steal 3 points. 
 
Even with our ‘easier’ match on the final day I’d want at least a 2 goal cushion on goal difference.
That said ultimately I think even with a defeat at the weekend we should go up. If we need to score 3/4 against Carlisle then there’s no reason why we can’t.

Some headline. Swap Portsmouth for Derby, and O’Neills for the Neptune, and you’ve got yourself a date in 10 days time.

Tempted to put a fiver on Bolton at 14/1 and a few quid on Posh at 25/1 to at least create a decent sized sorrow-drowning beer fund.
I have faith in the team and management to get the job done but, in the back of my mind, I'm thinking that we've had fewer dire, game-changing reffing decisions than last season and unwarranted red cards and pens can still bite (Case study: Sir Curtis @ Sheff Wed).
If I were PW, I'd be making loads of noises in the press this week that officials have to be absolutely certain of things before dishing out reds and pens at this stage of the season. I'd be happy fo a no pens and no reds pact for the last two games.

I cannot and will not believe that we could mess things up so badly that we won’t finish 2nd…. But I’m still really nervous! 

Have you been drinking, even if we did lose to Cambridge, there's no way Paul Simpson would let his Carlisle side win at Pride Park.

Oh no!! I’ve just considered the world’s most squeaky bum scenario. 

peterboro win their game in hand. Then Bolton and boro both win their next game and we lose to Cambridge  
then we’re all the same points going into the last game of the season. With them playing each other.
the twists and turns during 90 mins of that last day will be ridiculous. I’d still expect us to beat Carlisle, but still, there will probably be a moment before we take the lead when either boro or Bolton score, and we’ll be technically out of the autos for a moment. Can you imagine the gnashing of teeth in here during those moments!?

You shouldn't have moved to the US. You shouldn't have moved to Cornwall.
A true fan would live round the back of Frankie & Benny's, then spend every game moaning at the players, going for food at 35 mins, before leaving on the 80 min mark.

No one on here does that. As its illegal.
People just take short breaks abroad.

Yes - I like it a lot.  

If "fans" wanted a ticket for the last match of the season, why didn't they buy them 4 weeks ago when there were a sufficient number still  available? 
Are these "fans" touts or just "sunshine supporters"?
To all the fans now wanting tickets, here's a message, either buy a season ticket and you'll never miss a game, or a Wembley ticket, or you choose your game well in advance and purchase a ticket when they come online.

In fairness a fair few of people now wanting a ticket have had plans change. 

Ditto. Have plenty folded and never worn. Seems every ex bought me a shirt for Christmas…… blimey I’ve had some girlfriends 

Why release them if you can’t include the manufacturer? It just looks like you’ve popped into a market in Bodrum with 10 lira spare.

Me too! I can make the date now!
A single ticket would be warmly welcomed!
I'll sit/stand anywhere if I'm lucky enough to be offered anything!
I know that it's unlikely - but no harm in asking!

I didn't realise my old shirts were an investment! These 'retro' shirts are selling for more than I paid for them. And mine does have the badges/ branding!

He's doing the 'bounce' now, in heaven, that's why the weather is all over the place and unpredictable, bless 'im..

Waggy at Posh, great team goal and finish 👏

Especially as the finish was with his 'wrong' foot.👏

Agreed on not moving the disabled section in the south stand. If moved, it's essentially saying the disabled supporters are less important than the abled bodied supporters. Disabled gets shoved away into the corner. Going to PPS on a matchday, being part of the south stand community and atmosphere might be one of the few things in their lives that's "normal" so to say. It's like saying, let's forcibly move a few rows from behind the goal, just so, and replace those supporters with other supporters. It's the same principle. 

Everyone should be required to wear half and half scraves and sing the unifying anthem "we're going to get our f****** heads kicked in!"

What percentage of this mixed seating would to be occupied by police and stewards.
But it would certainly make for an interesting atmosphere.

No, we're not Fulham.
