League 2 Promoted sides

[The mighty Aldo]

So
Exeter
FGR
Bristol Rovers

Good news as far as locality is concerned and good crowds guaranteed from Exeter and Brizzle

What bothers me is the run Swindon are putting together which makes them favourites for the playoffs.
Last thing we want is that distraction next year when all we need to concentrate on is promotion .
However I think they will come up and they will have momentum

 

[Oxford1996]

If Swindon go up. We get 2 amazing days next season and hopefully 6 points

If they don’t. We can laugh at them.

We can’t lose

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

If we’re talking crowds then that’s another sellout if Swindon come up. Shame we’re not in the new stadium…

Maybe their owner can fix the Kassam toilets when we play them.

Christ…how gutting for Northampton.

You win 3-1 and find out BR have stuffed Scunny 7-0.

That is a very bitter pill to swallow.

Absolutely. I know a Northampton fan and he's utterly gutted.

Something about Scunthorpe playing a bunch of kids in a game that decides promotion and losing to the exact required scoreline doesn't sit quite right though. Not sure why, but it feels a bit, dare I say, dodgy?

Right I'll remove my tin hat

I agree… very iffy.

If that was us I would be completely incandescent with anger.

 

[Concretebob]

no, I agree… very iffy.

If that was us I would be completely incandescent.

If this was involving us I would be completely furious. Average age of 19 in that Scunthorpe side, something doesn't seem right.

No integrity in that side put out by Scunthorpe today.

Maybe no rules were broken, but how can that possibly be allowed to happen.

People may be finding it funny… but it really isn’t.

Not good for the game.

And I bet Northampton are pissed off

 

[Sarge]

And I bet Northampton are pissed off

Scunny fielded a side with the average age of 19...basically their youth team

Although within rules etc it doesnt seem right ...especially when the game could - and did- affect promotion on the last day of the season

Remember Weymouth having issues over wages and that had to field a youth team and they lost
0-9 to Rushden and Diamonds

Never know there maybe an investigation as Scunny had nothing to play for and new they were relegated

 

[Yellowlab]

The scum took 3600 to Walsall today. Lots of them on the pitch at the end letting off flares. Vermin.

 

[holdsteady]

A pitch invasion to celebrate making the play offs?

 

[oufc1991]

Maybe they got confused and thought because they can count on one hand they got promoted
1,2,3 1,2,3 1,2,3

Quite happy with the 3 that have come up already.

FGR ,just like in the conference days, we can go and take over the village again and the ground. They should bring a few more away fans than Crewe aswell.

Brizzle Rovers, always a tasty affair with sell outs at both home and away more than likely.

Exeter, aways nice to have a trip to Devon as long as its a Saturday. They always bring a decent following to us aswell. Gives Plymouth a local derby too.

Even the four in the play offs.

Northampton, local and will sell out the away end at ours.

Portvale , decent ground and again they will bring a big following to us.

Mansfield, bit of a trek and probably my least favourite to come up. Not sure their away following is as big as Portvale

Swindon, we missed out on being allowed crowds at the last 2 derbies, I know most want them to stay down but its another guaranteed sell out and may increase our season ticket sales considerably

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

I don't want Swindon to have any success. Absolute madness that Rovers got the 7 goals they needed, hope someone is checking for dodgy betting patterns!

Just look at the team Scunthorpe put out for starters!

Unfortunately OX14, I will be eternally grateful for the gods to keep them at the absolute minimum at least one division below us forever.

I personally couldn't care less if we never played them again. I don't like them - can't stand the Oxfordshire roadsigns with their odious name on either - they are irrelevant in my book...although you wouldn't think so after this literary rant lol.

Enjoy the rest of the evening.
