Promotion thread

[ASFC Tom]

Hopefully we will get the job done today. Expecting a really tough game, but hopefully have got over the disappointment of Tuesday night.

Lincoln have sold out their allocation, and apparently only 75 home tickets left. When your used to nearer 1100 showing up for Tuesday night games in January, will feel like a massive crowd. Looking at around 4800 being there

It’s a need to win it’s not a must win in my eyes as before the Coventry City game the playoffs were starting to look unlikely so happy with playoffs now.

If you get promoted and you aren’t smug, I don’t want you managing my club.

Sam Allardyce Jnr is a nickname I might steal Southey if you don’t mind. It’s perfect

It’s must win for us to have any chance of automatics, but I’m pretty chilled. Doesn’t feel like this is make or break for us and we’re in a good place either way - owner who wants to be here and is doing really good things, impressive young manager tied down to a long contract, core of a really good team etc.

If we don’t go up this year I’m confident that we’ll challenge for the title next year, basically. Still hope we do though, obviously.

On a wonderfully overpriced and wonderfully diverted train to darkest Derbyshire.

I’m sure Wycombe fans are in for another grim afternoon of nervously looking over their shoulder and checking the scores every 5 minutes.

I’m predicting this’ll be a 0-0 for ages then may go narrowly either way...that or CFC get an early goal and we scramble to catch up. We’re not completely out of it if we fuck up today but it’ll be out of our hands and the new looking playoff-bound.

The brown trousers are on.

Cmon Lincoln....please

 

[LongEatonPie]

I remember the script now, no one wants third with Wycombe only drawing Exeter and Notts can’t be bothered to take over! ‍

 

[Moomin]

Congratulations Wycombe.

Shambles of a result for us today, now dreading the playoffs.

 

[Super_horns]

Well done Wycombe!

 

[denzel ecfc]

Well done Wycombe, not our day today. We need a point next week for a home second leg play off

 

[oakroader]

Congratulations mowgli and others

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Is that Mansfield not completely out of it as it stands?

 

[Agombar stool]

Massive congratulations to Accrington for being Champions and to Wycombe on confirming promotion.

Irritating that Luton and Wycombe are gone, decent southern away trips to be replaced by More northern sides no doubt!

[The_Viking_Magpie]

We can now somehow finish 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th depending on the results on the last game of season.

After today’s results not sure who I want to play in the semi finals but know I want to be playing at home in 2nd leg.

That’s Barnet , Chesterfield and Grimsby we’ve lost to away from home . Ouch

Great result for Mansfield, delighted they won that for ‘the handbrake’

 

[BelizeHatter]

Well done Accy. Champions. Fully deserved. Can't imagine many teams have finished the last third of the season like that.

 

[BelizeHatter]

Pleased for Wycombe too. Cracking effort.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Is that Mansfield not completely out of it as it stands?

I’ll answer that, Cos the staggets have been rather quiet in recent times

They are still in the mix, must win next week and hope for a Lincoln or Coventry defeat and it should be enough on goal difference

 

[Conker]

Is that Mansfield not completely out of it as it stands?

Still in it, somehow.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Should keep DF in a job next season hopefully?

 

[Davidimp]

We lose to the champions and some of our lot reckon we'll miss out now! Dear me!
We are playing a team who are 20th and had their best player sent off.

 

[mowgli]

Cheers all i'm about to crack open some Somerset farmhouse cider.

 

[The Reverend Skyblue]

Yes well done and congrats to Wycombe ,Mowgli and all who sail in her.

 

[Moomin]

I’m usually an optimist but I get the feeling that whoever plays us will be heading to Wembley. We’ve got too many injuries and Tisdale has just had a slanging match with sections of our support today, including him giving the fans the ‘wanker’ sign during the game. Delightful.

 

[The Reverend Skyblue]

How bloody inconsistent are we. Can't trust that we will beat Morecombe next week, we play horrifically against lower end teams.
Defence is the worst part atm, the goalie is going to give me a heart attack, he was at it again today.

 

[The Reverend Skyblue]

Lose 6-2 at home to Yeovil then win 6-1 away. Christ this is going to be tough to cope with

 

[Conker]

Well Done Wycombe.

Hurts a bit saying that because it should of been Mansfield in one of those automatic spots.

 

[jacobncfc]

Congrats to Wycombe, fully deserved. Turns out you’ve got to be a football team away as well as at home to have a chance!

 

[thewwfc]

I can’t remember a single time when we’ve done the business with a game to spare and all the other results went our way when it mattered. Thank fuck that Exeter and Notts County choked at the wrong time to see us safe.

It seemed like some of the Chesterfield fans stayed behind to clap our promotion celebrations, which is class if true - there was no need for WW fans to be in the home end as we didn’t sell out our away allocation so they can’t have been Wycombe.

With the season they’ve had it takes some sportsmanship to do that - cheers Spireites.

 

[PUSBCCFC]

Exactly. And because we are great, of course

Will already have my home end tickets confirmed. An old mate from back at uni lives down there and goes to the odd game.

 

[Indian Dan]

On a purely selfish basis I’d prefer Lincoln to go up. This shit league is norvern enough as it is.
