Like your avatar, I was looking at the original in Southampton Art Gallery before the Walsall game, found it more appealing than the Warhol stuff! Didnt realise that Lowry had done stuff outside of Salford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkie Posted 28 May, 2011 Share Posted 28 May, 2011 Personally don't have any preference today... Huddersfield tomorrow preferably as it's another close game in a Yorkshire town. Swansea tomorrow as we owe Reading big time - they are a local club for all you lot down south to go to! As for the big one at Wembley - just want to see a feast of football - but with all the hype it's bound to be sh*te. It's all going to end up Messi for Giggs I Imogen!

Deppo Posted 28 May, 2011 Share Posted 28 May, 2011 I think that they should do away with the semi-finals and have all 4 teams competing in a Royal Rumble style game. The game will be played on a square pitch with a goal on each side of the square. Each goal is assigned to one of the 4 teams. Each team have to defend their goal and score goals in each of the other 3 goals. The first team to score in all 3 goals without conceding is the winner. If they concede, then they are reset and then have to score in all 3 goals again. It would mean that teams would then go and defend another team's goal if a team looks like winning. There would be all sorts of interesting tactics. The game could last 5 minutes or it could last 5 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnersaint Posted 28 May, 2011 Share Posted 28 May, 2011 Have lived and worked in the area for over 30 years. Our daughter was born in The Royal Berks I find it hard to dislike them much. Grudgingly I'll be rooting for Reading even though in my eyes they will ALWAYS be a third or fourth division team, plus they gave us Branfoot.

Hatch Posted 28 May, 2011 Share Posted 28 May, 2011 I love the Play offs. Best games of the season. Don't care who wins League 2, Huddersfield for League 1 and Reading for Championship.

Dr Who? Posted 28 May, 2011 Share Posted 28 May, 2011 Have a soft spot for Torquay as it was the fist game I went to, and used to go there on holiday every year with the parents. So I really did not think they would get to the final and if they go up even better. I went with my heart on this one. I do not want Reading to go up, but just had a feeling they were the form team and on such a good run, like Huddersfield, who I do want to go up!

1976_Child Posted 28 May, 2011 Share Posted 28 May, 2011 (edited) Come on Stevenage! Be nice to see them get into division three for the first time in their history. Torquay are a bunch of inbred westerners so they can suck my balls. Peterborough to win. Nicer away venue. One of the prettiest towns on the circuit, good pubs and restaurants. Made some friends up there this season, nice people - not that Udders aren't. Reading to beat the Welsh. Enough said. Although it would really **** off Cardiff which is always good sport.

Badger Posted 28 May, 2011 Share Posted 28 May, 2011 Torquay. Huddersfield deserve it and I hope its a truly crap weekrnd for the Ferguson family( although P/boro likely to be weaker opponents next season for us).

I do recall watching something where you had to score across the street into a little hole in the wall, you would have something like 200 a side and you had no rules. What box office entertainment watching blokes beating **** out of each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMikey Posted 28 May, 2011 Share Posted 28 May, 2011 Well done Stevenage, back-to-back promotions is a great achievement whatever league you're in. Their CB Michael Bostwick would be a good signing! Released from Man Utd in 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to go and watch Reading when I lived there and even went to the playoff final against Walsall. This was 2001 and they were the small club that you went and watched if Saints were not playing! We will catch them and could swap places with them next season, or end up above them again next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
