As for who, we're going with friends from Cheltenham so we'll be supporting them. Bit different to when we went though, it's pay on the gate!

Comon the, er, oh, um, er, I think they're The Robins (?)

I was bored so just had a look at the websites of the4 teams in the play offs this weekend.

Cheltenham and Grimsby have both sold about 12,000 tickets each, Grimsby hope to sell 15,000 in total.

Swansea have sold out and another 1,000+ tickets available so they will have over 34,000 in Cardiff. Barnsley have sold just over 20,000.

I would like to see Cheltenham and Barnsley go up, so I fully expect Grimsby and Swansea to win.

Grimsby on a Tuesday night, i cant wait!

Grimsby were given 25,000 (yes 25,000 :ohmy:) tickets, think it said in the local paper they've sold about 13,500 so far. All the local people who probably don't even like football will be going just because it's a big game. Grimsby only usually get 4,000 a week at Blundell Park.
 


I've still not forgiven Grimsby for refusing to supply the Albion with all the tickets we wanted in 2003. And then offering tickets for £1 on the day of the game through their local paper. And then, on the day, there was a whole section of the ground that was unoccupied.

Cheltenham. Closer, never been there, and it's not GRIMsby.

My final act in Cleethorpes in 2003 was to throw up at Paradise Island.

I think I'd rather the short drive to Cheltenham, but can't actually get excited about either.

Cheltenham, purely for the fact that living in Gloucester it is an easy game to get to, a little mercenary maybe but there is no way I would ever drive from here to Grimsby.

Cheltenham is 7 miles for me, I used to travel further for a home game when I still lived in Sussex.

The other thing is that I can probably be the first person to post a match report, something I have only ever done once before and that was the game at Derby on the opening day of last season, not bad seeing as I had it posted before 7 Pm and it is well over 100 miles away.

Cheltenham is closer and it doesn't smell of fish.

The centre of Cheltenham is very nice, I would love to see hoardes of Albion fans taking over the twee bars and cafes of Montpellier and turning the place into a sea of blue and white, however the outskirts are distinctly unpleasant. Haven't been to Whaddon Road yet, despite living so close, as I get my local footy fix at Forest Green but would like to chalk it off my grounds to do list.
