    I spotted that too.

    I took it (pure guess) to mean all bets stand at that time, as opposed to it relating directly to the match/kick off time.

    The league positions aren't gonna change between final whistle on Saturday to Sunday noon.

     

     

    PS:  Yes... kick off is 12:30 Saturday... BST!  👍

    Subject to alteration.

    # SKY we do what we want.🙄

  2. Right, obviously not everyone will be happy with whatever happens so here’s a compromise. Assuming we get whatever is needed to get us promoted, at the final  whistle the scoreboard clock is reset, the inevitable pitch invasion starts and you have 5 minutes exactly to get your instagram photos or whatever. Then a siren is sounded and the police dogs are unleashed to sort out anyone left on the pitch. Sorted.

    I don't disagree - but if we go up, it would be churlish to deny him the opportunity to manage the club in a higher league, because the alternative is always somebody who is either untried or someone who has failed elsewhere.

    There are some on here who would be prepared - nay, willing - to sack him now (or after Saturday, irrespective of the result against Carlisle). The problem with that is threefold:

    1. Compensation required to pay off Warne and the rest of his staff
    2. Compensation required to pay off the club whose current manager we subsequently poach
    3. The 'new' manager finding that his budget for the next transfer window is missing the amounts paid out due to 1. and 2. above.

    Warnock it is then 😂

    I was there at QPR 2 seasons ago when relegation was confirmed and there was a mix of emotions; sorrow but mixed with pride at the fight we’d put up against enormous odds. I’m not ashamed to say I teared up that day. We’ve come a long way in that time; we have a brilliant owner, a manager who, despite my reservations about his style is on the brink of fulfilling the brief given to him, a feeling of togetherness and a club healing after years of chaos and excess. 
    If we get it over the line on Saturday I will very definitely be shedding a tear or two. 😢

    I was exactly the same at QPR, we knew it was coming but when it was confirmed it was a horrible sinking feeling and I too shed a tear. And then we carried on singing and clapped Wayne and the boys off in a great show of unity.

    There was a small group of home fans that had been barracking us all game but then actually applauded us at the end.

    I don’t know where you’ve been reading that but I suspect there is zero chance of a points deduction. It happens all the time when a team wins something or gets promoted. It’s already happened at least twice this season (Pompey and Wrexham) and I’ve not see any mention of such a sanction.

    Wherever you read it, stop reading there.

    I also don’t think the club should embrace a pitch invasion. They’ll probably expect it’s going to happen IF we seal promotion but they shouldn’t be encouraging it. Accept that some will run on the pitch but hope/aim to get them to return to stands for the lap of appreciation to take place. I’m not sure how the elderly and unsteady person on the row in front of me would be partying on the pitch. 😀

    Carlisle at home, we had won the league, in the Normanton lower, I was 15. 0-0, all on the pitch. It was going to be relaid so I took a piece from the centre circle.  Went to school on the Monday and persuaded my teacher help me preserve it.  50 years later and despite me living all over the world I've still got it.  Magical times.20240424_203328.thumb.jpg.8bdc5e45a3cc9c99e989c69776d0c5f7.jpg

    I did the same but replanted mine in the garden at home, didn’t last the week 😂

    Blackpool please - certainly one of the better awaydays and decent fans.

    Definitely Blackpool, then play them away early or late in the season.

    Two or three years ago I was getting a bit fed up of visiting the same grounds every season Bristol City, Preston etc, now we’re hoping and praying we will be back there next season.😂

    It’s time to change my username. There is only one David round here and it ain’t me.

    David

    Break that into 2, Day vid

    Keep it short, Day

    Why not Dave? I hate it.

    Hope that explains that.

    Alright Dave.☺️

    This is the one of the things that worry some fans. How often will we fail to 'pinch a win' and against what quality of opposition? We'll still have the ethos of a 'middling fish' or at least trying to be a 'middling fish' pinching wins in the Championship pond.

    Are these the same fans that were worried that the manager wasn’t good enough to get us promoted and wanted him sacked.

    None of this means diddly.

    It's in our hands, we're at home, we need a point against bottom of the league

    A draw could mean we’re hanging  on right to the end, I don’t think I could survive that 😱

    Thanks to everyone for the advice. We’ve decided to move to block I of East Upper and I’ve just pushed the button. From @England Ram’s very helpful post it sounds like a decent atmosphere. We’re in row D, so probably quite close to you.

    Is this the right time to warn you about my horrendous flatulence problem? I say problem, I quite like it…

    Not good news then, I’m two rows behind you.😳
