I'm gutted after Stanley dropped to 4th. Coley will have his work cut out getting the players back in the right frame of mind, but he ha the experience and nous to do the job!

What I meant was Wembley is not great day out if it's half full, or less, it's an suitable ground that detracts rather than adds to the importance of a final. My opinion anyway having been to 2 play off finals with sub 40k crowds that would have been much better "events" at many PL stadiums..
PS. Apologies to any Newcastle fans for posting that you are "wanky" last night, I'd been drinking.
I agree. A Prem' or Championship ground would do me, but it has to be the rip off Wembley. Accrington are one of about four league teams who haven't played there. Perhaps this was meant to be?

I bet there'll be a kick off of other sorts Mark. Your lot have a few headbangers and Millwall goes without saying!

It would have to be game by game though looking at expected crowds. You could end up with two teams who could fill Wembley playing at a smaller ground and they wouldn't be happy. I was at Burnley v Sheffield Utd a few years back and Wembley was packed

Most of the others are looking similar.
Won't be happy if Man City pip Chelsea to the title though.

Sunderland 1000/1 if they avoid relegation. Waste of money betting on that, how can a team who just avoids the drop go on to win the title next year...?

^This. I get called 'cynical' all the time by other Toon fans because I don't live in the wanky cloud cuckoo land so many of them seem to occupy.
Wonder what my colleague at work will say tomorrow, when I see him, after his assertion on Thursday that we would thrash Villa....

Not much I would suspect.
I got a fair amount of grief from colleagues around the Pardew Out campaign. Apparently it was foolish of me to point out that he was their most successful manager since Bobby Robson (top 5, European QF, safe if uninspiring seasons). I was initially quite supportive of McClaren too, based on his largely excellent track record but the same folk couldn't see past a picture of the guy in the rain under an umbrella.
I was wrong about McClaren in the end and am happy to admit it, but to have initially written him off because of a newspaper headline is definitely what I'd call "wanky".

They are talking on their forums about going in the home end, good luck with that, this is Bradford! My guess is that they won't even sell out their 2.2k allocation for Sunday, they'll watch it in the pub. Bradford will sell out their 2.5k for the following Friday night and I think that's when it'll all kick off.

Maybe have the Leagues 1 and 2 finals elsewhere then? I know Plymouth or Portsmouth will take many to Wembley,but i bet they won't open the top tiers of the ground. One step below League 2 and the conference final is a home and away affair, or it used to be if not now. Maybe we should have that for the bottom two divisions?

It would be a funny thing if Man U pipped Man C to fourth, and final, CL spot. Hehe.
They are contracted to Wembley so cannot be moved. We played Northampton at Wembley in 2013, the crowd was 40+ thousand, so half full then, that's not a special occasion final to me! It'd have been far better "event" at a packed out Villa Park.

It's a bit of a knife edge for 4th!

Not sure how accurate the figures are, but an interesting way to look at net transfer spending.
