Acetripper Posted 25 April, 2011 Share Posted 25 April, 2011 Another hugely important day for both our teams where anything other than 3pts will throw the situation back into the mix, although it has to be said, you're well and truly in the driving seat at the moment. In a way it's a pity that it's come to this but then again I expect you'll have a full house today bursting with anticipation an excitement, which can't be bad. If your result had gone in our favour on Saturday I dare say our crowd would have been pretty good too but as it stands I reckon the floating cynics will stay in the pubs and bars. I think Brighton, yourselves and us actually do deserve to be promoted this season so can I say, whoever makes it automatically, congratulations and the team that enters the play-offs lottery - Good Luck! Have a great day! AceT(HTFC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubai_phil Posted 25 April, 2011 Share Posted 25 April, 2011 No, what a load of totally unbelievable tosh. Started out as an OK and believable sentiment until the concept that HTFC have floating cynics We all know that Saints are the only team in the world to have those If you DO go the playoff route, just make sure you ruin Bompey's season. They had deserved to go up until they showed they share the same small town attitude as Brighton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a great day! AceT(HTFC) Hi thanks (i think) . The Daggers will be fighting for survival today, so i dont think you will have it to easy! As for Brighton[sic] if your players can find a ball, stop Poyet sending your players off on the ref's behalf, and have Vodafone "stop the clock" lol You might get a positive result!! Have a great day yourselves! AND MAY THE BEST TEAM WIN! Edited 25 April, 2011 by SOTONS EAST SIDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huffton Posted 25 April, 2011 Share Posted 25 April, 2011 Cheers Acetripper. Personally I hope whoever finishes 3rd goes up, I hate play offs and think its a totally unfair way of doing things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crab Lungs Posted 25 April, 2011 Share Posted 25 April, 2011 It's a shame Hudders and us both can't go up auto instead of arrogant, petulant, stupid, infantile, moronic Brighton. Best wishes Ace Tripper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I hope whoever finishes 3rd goes up, I hate play offs and think its a totally unfair way of doing things. Does seem a bit unfair that a team that gets 15/16 more points than the 6th placed team in the regular season can lose out in the lottery.Sort of negates 5 or 6 wins and makes playing percentage football the way to go if you're not very good. I mean if by any chance say Exeter got promoted instead of Huddersfield via the play-offs that would be a travesty of justice.Means you can just about obtain promotion by winning all of your home games and losing all but 3 or 4 of your away games.

Saint_clark Posted 25 April, 2011 Share Posted 25 April, 2011 Nothing personal, but i'd much prefer us and Bournemouth to go up. Good luck to you though, if you don't manage it this season I can see you winning it next time round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they've sold over 16,000 season tickets already, so their crowds are already good for NPC level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teamsaint Posted 25 April, 2011 Share Posted 25 April, 2011 If we have to have playoffs, the team finishing 3rd should go straight to the final. Anyway, hope we go up automatically and town win the playoffs, as they have had a fantastic run...and most mrs teamsaint's family are from there. Also, town are below their "proper" level in L1.

scott_saints Posted 25 April, 2011 Share Posted 25 April, 2011 I don't recall many people towards the end of last season claiming the play offs should be scrapped and 3rd place should be promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Under Weststand Posted 25 April, 2011 Share Posted 25 April, 2011 Agree with the sentiments Acetripper. The pressure that we've both been exerting on each other, will mean whoever gets over the line to the automatic spot will have thoroughly deserved it! Have to say I hope its us of course, but the run you've been on has been nothing short of phenomenal & I hope we are playing each other again next year in the NPC with HTFC winning the play-off's. Also agree with teamsaint I think there should be a bigger advantage for league places. A series of one off games 5th place (home) to 6th to see who plays 4th(home) in the semi-final then winners to play 3rd place in the final would be a little fairer IMHO.

Window Cleaner Posted 25 April, 2011 Share Posted 25 April, 2011 i believe theyve sold over sixteen thousand season tickets already Hmmmmmm I've looked at the prices, very varied. Still with the monthly option I guess they're pretty affordable to most. I don't doubt that our STs will be suimilarly priced when we get promotion.Minimum about £390 for adults and £550'ish maximum. That would be quite a price hike for us I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once wanted them to go up as they'd have an exciting future. That's changed, I can't stand them now. Their infrastructure merit it but their fans certainly don't.

Their average home gate must be about 4000, they just couldn't afford a side for the NPC on that. There should be a minimum gate for each division.

So Wimbledon who spent years in the top flight, won the FA Cup and who would have qualified for Europe if not for the ban shouldn't have been allowed in that league because they regularly had only 5000 watching them.

CWD Posted 25 April, 2011 Share Posted 25 April, 2011 Huddersfield fans really seem like a decent bunch and a 22 (?) game unbeaten run really deserves promotion. Saying that, hopefully you'll lose the next two games then go up in the play-offs COYS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football has changed since then though.Players' salaries have become so much higher .Saints used to stay in the PL on Dell Gates because players like Dodd and Benali were good enough to keep them there and didn't demand exhorbitant amounts,you could still unearth gems like Pahars for less than a million and they'd stay for 4/5 years on reasonable pay.Wouldn't still happen that way now.
