Promotion watch (now with Poll)

If they drop into the play offs the only hope they will have is that the pressure will be totally off, other than that I don't think anyone will give them a chance. I thought they looked decent for the first 20-30 minutes and were well in the game even though they were 1-0 down but once Matt went off they went to pieces. They've bought themselves a lot of time with that 16 game unbeaten run but now need to get around 13 points from last 12 games. They seemed to recover from the bad spell after playing us with 7 games from 3 games and winning 2-0 in the 89th minute on Tuesday but conceding them 2 late goals will have hurt a lot.

 

Bolton away 1985 won 2-0 . I was there . Bobby scored one , can’t recall the other. There was fighting in lumps for a while pre kick off . Thousands of City fans present!

 

I actually thought before midweek they had got over there spell but my word a win for us midweek really cranks the pressure on them .......i know we may go into the same situation but to blow a lead like that i simply think if we top them they will fall to bits

Crikey they are short odds considering there are 30 odd points to play for?

 

Can you imagine how many city fans are going to those games!!!

 

Bromley ands Salford were really good bonus wins....

 

The chasing pack have to match our form at the moment and it looks like some may actually be starting to show the effects if we could some how muster up two wins and thrown in that Wimbledon play Notts C play each other then the gap could or should be even bigger.

 

Wonderful reading!

 

Donny away could easily see 6/7 k following obviously we won't get that many tickets but you can bet city fans will be all over that stadium.

 

It will be interesting to see what Doncaster do for that match. If I am Doncaster I don't want 3,000 - 4,000 away fans and instead I limit them to 1,600 which is the minimum they have to give, it might cost the club a little bit of money but the money from promotion will far outweigh it.

 

If they can afford to lose £40k plus in revenue then yes I agree but they will know it's probably too much money to turn away at this level

 

If it was the other way round and we gave Donny 5000 tickets I’d be furious. It gives the opposition a huge boost. It could be a title or promotion decider, they’d be stupid to give us half the stadium.

 

Donny was like a zombie apocalypse last season. Atmosphere was dead in their end and around stadium and one of wierdest ive witnessed! Was around Xmas and harry lewis gifted them lead but we fought back!

 

They can’t !

 

It would be moved to 12.30 for tv or on police advice anyway so no chance of 5000 pissed up fans causing chaos.

 

There's probably a spoons in Donny though, so a 9am start on the lash beckons !

 

Police allowed the game to be played on mad friday last season so I don't think they are too bothered about the match. However, I would be very surprised if Sky don't pick this match along with AFC Wimbledon vs Port Vale. Thankfully the Monday before is Easter Monday so I think that will rule out the game being moved to a Thursday night and as it's the 2nd last round of games I don't think they would want a Monday night match so 12:30 on the Saturday looks the most likely.
