Richie de leat had a good day promoted to the premiership with Middleborough and picks up a premier leagure winners medal with Leicester that Dosn't happen very often.
Wrapped the league up in style .
That penalty miss might cost Jamie Vardy the golden boot.
Great game from Andy King (league one winner, championship winner,Premier league champion with the same club)
Go foxes

90+2 when the Bristol goal went in, Accy will be gutted! Fancied them to seal it today but think they find it tough now.

Newcastle are useless and deserve to go down.

We had a "fan zone" beer tent,flags waving all over the ground, a beautiful day and 4300 to watch, and most will have gone home bitterly disappointed! I know it's saying it after the event but i had a bad feeling about today, being a pessimist/realist. Our manager said he couldn't wait for the day to arrive,i was kind of dreading it. Luckily i'd mentally cushioned myself for the blow should it arrive, and it has helped. I was praying Bristol didn't score and when the board went up for our added time and no one mentioned any Bristol score i thought our luck was in. Then came the bad news. I didn't know it was so late on, till i read your post.

Now we have to wait to go down to Wimbledon on Thursday. I'll see how we go on before deciding whether to go to the home game, but i probably will anyway. As for Wembley should we reach it, we'll be vastly outnumbered by whichever city club makes it as well. I reckon we could take around 10,000 from the town. Compared to either Portsmouth or Plymouth's 40,000. i don't fancy the long trip and the expense of the day. There's only so much of your income you can throw at watching your team and another 100 or so quid, and i ask myself is it worth it?

Will you be going to watch Bradford at Wembley if they make the final?

No offence Accy, but I'd love to see Wimbledon go up, be great to see them beat Milton Keynes next season. If you do get to Wembley you should go, you will regret it if you don't, especially if you win it.

Yep, we will be playing Millwall in the play offs, it's 50/50 IMO but I am hoping for Bradford v Barnsley final which may sell out Wembley.

Accy, in 1996 we lost to Sam Allarydyce's Blackpool 0-2 at VP in the first leg, we were hopeless. Still, I and about 1500 other die-hards went to Blackpool, they'd put Wembley ticket and travel arrangements in their match day programme, why not?. Their fans were in total party mood. Chris Kamara (our manager) pinned these all around the dressing room. We were like a frenzied RM & Barca rolled into one, you live for nights like these as a football fan, 0-3 to Bradford, big fat Sam sacked and Bradford up at Wembley. The vid still makes me smile.

I've been twice to see Blackburn Rovers win on both occasions. I don't think my luck will extend to a third win. When we missed out on the play off final 5 years ago it was at Old Trafford, Now i would've gone there seeing as i haven't been before and it's only 26 miles away.

Drifting away from the excitement of whatever youse are discussing...

The amateur team I help out at (shouting at people, running the line, putting a kit on every now and then when they are short, making sure the water bottles are filled, marking out training cones, shouting at the ref, shouting at other people not to shout at the ref, etc), who play in the B League of Borders Amateur League, secured our position in the B League this week after a big turnaround in attitude and fortune since February when we were rock bottom and it looked a lost cause.

And today we made it to the final of the biggest cup competition with a 2-1 away victory against a League A team, which is the 3rd League A team we have beaten on the way to the final. A superb effort from everyone, and I doubt there will have been many better goals scored today at any level with all 3 goals being outstanding (I'm watching the Championship Football Show and none of the goals there have come close!)

I love fitba!

Well, its about not giving up, not going, if you do you miss the best days!

Wembley? Yes, it's a farce, Accy V Wimbledon is not an "event", not an "occasion", it would be a hell of match though if held at say, Coventry.

You're confusing me Mark. We won't be playing Wimbledon in the final.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Who will be playing them?

Plymouth v Portsmouth
Accy v Wimbledon

are the semi finals

 

[ianrauk]

C'mon Wimbledon. Love to see them promoted. Being a Wimbledon lad n'all. Be nice to see them in the same division as Francise FC and give them a good seeing too a couple of times a season.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

I was asking @Accy cyclist who he thinks will be playing Wimbledon in the final.

Got ya!

 

[13 rider]

Just seen the accy games highlights .How did they not score football can be cruel the supporters looked gutted .
But as Leicester fan all I can say is dream the dream miracles happen

 

[Accy cyclist]

Who will be playing them?

Wimbledon in the first round. Then either(if we make it)Plymouth or Portsmouth in the final.

 

[Seevio]

Whichever of the three contenders (Oxford, Accrington, Rovers) that lost out is was always going to be a favourite to get through the playoffs as they have all been on a good run of form recently.

I still reckon if you cant be champions, the best feeling for promotion is winning a final. I shall be an ASFC fan for hopefully the next 3 games.
