Love the play offs it's one of the best weekends of football around.
The Wendies are getting my bet, I've seen Bradford twice creep into 6th spot and then go up, all the pressure is on Hull, Derby and whoever, Boro hopefully.
Yep, it looks like we'll have Millwall, both clubs desperately not wanting that tie.

Not necessarily so, us fans know the rules at the start of the campaign.
My team, Blyth, in the Northern Premier League (1 promotion spot and 2nd to 5th in a single game play off semi & final) have just finished second on 99 points and +48 goal difference.
9 points and +2 goal difference over the 3rd placed Salford City (promoted via play offs)
&
13 points and +20 goal difference better than Workington who finished 6th but won our play off game 4-3.
I and the vast majority of fellow Blyth fans are disappointed but philosophical, nobody has had a go at the team, the play off system or the league rules, they are what they are. I wish Darlington & Salford all the best in the Conference North next season and hope that we'll be joining them this time next year.
I trust that I shall be as sanguine as you should it all go Pete Tong, but I'm sure some won't.

Fingers crossed for you. it's a right pisser but FC United and Ashton United did/have spent years making the playoffs but never getting promotion, their fans must be used to it now.
Ashton last year lost out to their cross town rivals Curzon, it's up there with the Dundee scenario today as a nightmare/dream come true depending on your allegiance.
You'll always get the miserable gits who would complain it wasn't £100 million if they won £99 million but I've watched us struggle to just survive and I've watched us play league campaigns with goals and wins galore, I'd rather watch a winning team even if we did fall a place & game short at the end of the season.
It's not that long ago, BHA could have been playing Blyth on equal terms & we'd have been playing Stockport County as equals next season if we'd gone up. The championship ain't such a bad place to be
