Last away game of the season... first for a few years, for this particular half-fan!
Alas, Old Mother Lardy has not only started singing, but she's finished her rendition of Don't stop believin', thrown down her mic, and stormed off stage!  Mardy Lardy!
But that's no excuse to suddenly draw the stage curtains closed, switch off the lights, take down the disco-ball, and remove that oh-so-tight sparkly party dress!
The party continues... Long into the night!  
A celebration of the fight, the spirit, and the dedication shown by each and every one of our players, coaching team, and all those behind the scenes.
A time to stand together, with pride, as we once again belt out our own "Fight Song", and take a bow in homage to those that have travelled the length and breadth of the country all season, with gusto, unending faith, and constant fortissimo, despite the shackles that have continuously restrained, and the tortuous sniggers that have occasionally riled.
We'll save the last dance until next week of course, but for Saturday, we party hard.  We party loud.  We party proud. 
Let it be others that rue our upcoming departure.  Let us wave a cheery "Duck You!" as we divert past the "Preston Gentlemens Club" on our way home for one last time.  Let us leave with heads held high, not with our backsides sat on high horses!
 
Oh yeah... something, something football too... something team selection, something tic-tacs, something, something whatever, etc, etc.

I got back in the car after the game and Charlie Palmer was saying the one bright spark from today was Watson’s performance. Said he was involved in everything good that we did. Got to be honest, I didn’t see that. I like him, he’s definitely got talent, but I didn’t think he was that influential today.

Well that’s that pre season/testimonial out of the way 
yet we still managed to find one of the worst referees around 
first goal probably offside 
second goal - lack of game time for Stearman 
third goal from free kick given for dreadful dive 
nice to see Forsyth scoring from yet another great delivery from Malcolm - didn’t Forsyth score on his last start as well? 
I thought Bird was decent and Bart managed to miss two great chances despite not being near the ball most of the time. I didn’t thinkWatson had a particularly decent game as some might be saying 

Well he scored. He also put a delightful chipped cross in for Cybulski who managed to head it over when it was easier to score. He was an outlet all game for us and don’t think he was at fault for any of their goals. I think Forsyth was the least of our problems today. 

Simple answer no,remember the season we went up we had sold Watkins and Benrahma for over 50 mill in the close season.We signed Toney for 6 mill +++ up to 10 mil but that was about it apart from a few smaller fees paid for other players.Thanks to all your kind reply’s I would add these so called football fans that think it’s funny to go on social media sites and gloat need to remember things can change very quickly in football.

All the very best for the coming season and beyond.I hope Rooney sticks by you with a decent owner on board he has a good a chance as anybody to get you back up.Your fans have been superb through this crap period.Things can change very quick in football and sometimes for the better, look at us in the so called best league in the world the Premier league for another season.Although my opinion of  the PL ( I’ve missed 2 games this season )is it’s the fatal attraction of clubs who risk everything to get to the tv cash when for us fans it’s a bland predictable bore fest unless you are a top 4 club the rest just make up the numbers.I won’t shed a tear when we eventually get back to the championship a far better and more competitive league to play in.Hope to be playing you at Pride Park again soon.

I don't think we should worry too much about not selling out the last two games. The admins are, understandably, focused on more important matters, so there's no special promotions designed to fill the stadium and that element of the support that always "floats" depending on league position have little incentive to buy a £25/30 ticket. 
These attendances are still likely to be in the 23-25,000 range, conceivably higher for Cardiff, so we'll comfortably finish with the 3rd highest average attendance in the Championship, which must be UNIQUE for a relegated club in Administration, particularly considering the early season ticketing problems and with many vulnerable people still wary of returning to games. 
It would be great to have a full house for the Cardiff game, but if it isn't that won't diminish the occasion or the quality of the support that the fans have given this season. 

A lot of people including me would love the opportunity to buy our season tickets now to show support and solidarity with Wayne and Chris. We can’t do this sadly. But we could make our last two home games something to really catch the medias attention. Highest gates in the Championship. I would love this to happen as a thank you to all involved at the Club. Can we do it?

Couldn't agree more but I think the 'team award' has been the borderline fanatical love and support from our fans, home and away. Not many of our squad will experience anything like that again elsewhere and they've certainly appeared genuinely appreciative.
Conversely, I'd like to think their response has been our reward too. Honestly, I've never seen such unity right across the club, not even close. Long may it last!  

Going for Curtis and Max. Not terribly original but to my way of thinking, they kind of pick themselves. Honourable mentions go to Byrne, Alsopp and Cashin but in reality, most of the squad deserve some kudos for they manner in which they've soldiered through this season.  

Davies & Bird got my votes, but big respect to Byrne and Cashin who ran them close.

FTFY

Get him on the pitch! ?
 
 

Exactly. All the expense but ownership doesn’t mean having control ?

It was all going so well until that last quote! ?

There are going to be a lot of clubs in trouble next season, the same fans that are jumping for joy at our predicament will be the same ones throwing a hissy fit toward  other fans laughing at their club when it happens to them. 
Birmingham is a prime example, Bristol are in big trouble, as are Boro 
chickens are coming home to roost ladies and gents, I hope you had a good laugh at our expense because it’s coming for you to
 
 

By the way, I have not enjoyed a season so much for many years and am proud to support this club, just be happy to have a team to watch next season.

Think Morris and the EFL have played a big part in it too

They gave their all, lets remember that.

Fulham were robbed...robbed I tell ya, Had 21 shots, Scored 1 goal, Had the most possession, The better players, Their forward in Mitrovic has scored 38 goals, Are the best team in the Championship as they are top, They are based in a Fashionable part of London, A Billionaire owner, Had a new stand built on the banks of the Thames.
Who were beaten by a provincial team, Who are skint, In Administration, Play with a team full of kids and old men, Had 21 points deducted, Who after 42 games were still breathing and on life support. Have a novice manager who at times paid for transport to away games, Have an organisation in the EFL who made life as hard as they possibly could this season...and yet we had the temerity to beat them 2-1/
Who gives a flying duck what others think about us, Sky the Mother duckers will be losing my custom very shortly, Who have pundits telling us what we have just witnessed, Then go on to show us thick duckers with the tech they have on how some god damn ducking millionaire managed to put a ball into the net, Something that has been done for over 150 years, And yet they feel we need to be shown, Sky...DUCK OFF!
