Football League Playoffs

[FFC Mariner]

In England they have a finals series that actually means something.

Highlight so far is in League 1 (the 3rd Division for everyone but the marketers)

Millwall v Leeds over 2 legs, 2nd leg at Elland Rd (I think)

Tin hats on everyone

So the Chairboys went up! Deej must be stoked!

Exeter have been the fairytale success so far. Owned and operated by a fans' trust, bright young manager getting them to play good football, epic last day promotion.

Bury likewise have had a remarkable turnaround. They were circling the drain for a few years, Alan Knill has managed to stop the rot.

Brentford managed to survive the Terry Butcher debacle last season and Andy Scott turned them around to win the title this year. So they'll be back in what's been their normal level since the late 70s.

Owned and operated by a fans' trust

One day comrades, one day, this might be possible for us...sigh

It's worked well for Exeter, but less well for Stockport or Notts County.

Brentford are also a trust-owned club.

What is the name of the Brentford Chairman who thought he could do a better job than the manager and run the teams for a while, he also owns (or maybe now owed) Selhurst Park???

If Brentford are trust owned these days he must have gone, but may be owns the ground?

Ron Noades. Appointed himself chairman and manager in 1998 and managed to win them the Division Three (as it was then known) title in 1999. Gave way to Steve Coppell, who got them to the play-off final in 2002. Noades sold his majority shares to the trust in 2006.

Stato, stato, stato!

1st the bad news:
Millwall won

Now the good news:
Leeds lost

Now the really good news:
The North Koreans have nuked them both!

 

[FFC Mariner]

Like you could notice the difference if Bermondsey was nuked.............

Burnley vs reading 1-0

arguably the skitzes of the season from Reading's defender Bikey after being conceding a penalty and getting a red card later on.

 

[marinermick]

sheffield win 1-0 over PNE meaning they go through 2-1 on aggregate

 

[mariners4ever]

and will now play burnley who beat reading 2-0 this morning for a EPL spot

 

[EastEnder]

C'mon Burnley, don't let those Blades carnts get back to the Premiership.

 

[FFC Mariner]

C'mon Burnley, don't let those Blades carnts get back to the Premiership.

+1

 

[Sacko]

C'mon Burnley, don't let those Blades carnts get back to the Premiership.

Wot he said!

 

[FFC Mariner]

if Burnley go up this season thats the 3 relegation spots for next year sorted (all the promoted clubs) so the rest of us can battle it out free from worry

(famous last words)
