So Sunderland are going to Wembley again to play Wycombe.  What fun!  They've got a fairly horrendous record at Wembley and Wycombe are quite possibly the worst team to play in that environment.  A one-off game where Wycombe will basically try and spoil the party.  It'll be 5 or 6 to 1 in terms of supporters.  It's got calamity written all over it.  Sunderland can park the bus though if they want to - they did against us at Home earlier in the season.

On a personal level, I'd like to get rid of Sunderland even though I cannot abide Wycombe. 

 

It was watching Sunderland Til I Die that was the catalyst for Rob McElhenney deciding he fancied buying a British football club. It all snowballed from there when Reynolds jumped aboard. Our recent good fortune oddly linked to Sunderland's misfortune. You could add in Phil Parkinson's failure there working out okay for us too. 

 

My only experience of Sunderland fans was when a load of them turned up to one of our games once. Denis Smith was our manager at the time who had won promotions for them so I think they came to cheer him on. Their game in the North West somewhere must have been called off late I think. Anyway, they were great that day, so I'm fully behind a Sunderland promotion for all sorts of reasons.

 

Stockport's 1-0 win against Torquay last night means they only need a draw against Halifax on Sunday even if we beat Dagenham and Redbridge, but you never know! At least I can relax a bit because it's a bonus free hit see what happens kind of game for us. I'd be shitting myself now had Torquay won. Postpones the nerves a bit until the playoff semi a week on Saturday.

@Fatsam - literally nobody likes seagulls so booooo to Torquay.

 

Let's hope it's a promotion for you guys.  You deserve to be a League club.  One of my friends and also one of the most socialist people I know (also a Councillor and he's stood for MP before) is a Wrexham by birth supporter (although he also goes to the odd Everton game) and for that reason, I hope you go up.  I doubt you'd be looking forward to that Newport game mind.... carnage!

Very swanky.😎 We got told to keep last year's cards, which will updated for the new season. Reuse the plastic etc. 🙂  

We've got a new manager as of today. Mark Kennedy.  The Stone Island of Michael Appleton out, Kennedy's Monclur in! 👌

I suggested the same thing to someone at the club - I had a professional hand in a part of this postal pack. The club might be doing it next season.

Your mate was probably born fairly close to the football ground too then! I have been giving all the Everton fans at work a hands off our championship level players warning. 

 

Reclaiming third best team in Wales status and avenging playoff final defeat would be something we'd quite like to do I think. There would be a bit extra in that fixture. Looking at potential league 2 fixtures is something I'm trying not to let my mind do at this point, but yeah thanks for that!

Ultimately not the best end to the season losing against Dagenham, but thankfully it was irrelevant with Stockport enjoying a comfortable afternoon at home to Halifax. They've served their time outside the football league. Not been down quite as long as us, but fell a division further. Good look to them, they'll do well next year in League Two I'd imagine. 

 

Already got my ticket for the playoff semi a week on Saturday. Notts County or Grimsby won't be easy, but we've been fantastic at home since January, so I am mildly confident we can come through that game.

 

I think Solihull have the easier semi at home to Halifax, who are nothing like as good away from home,  or Chesterfield who have been in mid table form at best since Christmas. Everyone is expecting them to get to the final.

 

A final that was announced a couple of weeks ago to be played at West Ham's ground. The obvious choice given all the southern based teams that dominate the playoff positions. They're great the National League.

Neutrals watching that might disagree, but the playoffs are indeed a load of shit.

 

At least there was so much happening today that I barely had time to be nervous during the game. Twice I had people by me asking me the score. "is it 3-3 or 4-4?" A fittingly crazy game of football to finish the season off.

 

And of all clubs, at least it was Grimsby who I like. I thought their fans were great and their players battled like fuck. Although we did finish four places above them in the league. Yep the playoffs are still shit.

 

So yeah gutted. At least this feels different to other playoff defeats. Where it either felt like we'd blown our big chance or thoughts of we'll come back stronger next year were predominantly based on hope. 

 

And it's just been great to be at the football this season hasn't it? Who cares about that winning or losing shit, it's not important, it just serves to complicate the enjoyment. I had a fantastic day today. Honestly.

 

Spoiler

:(
