Are we torn between having a day out at Wembley or automatic promotion?

Playoff position does not guarantee a day out at Wembley(at cost to fans) .. The 3rd team could lose the midweeks and be forgotten . Give me Automatic every time, as any sane fan would say. We made play offs twice in recent memory and are still in this league

Autos, we can all relax and watch the lottery without participation because our reward has already been granted. 3 more weeks to prepare, looking at Norwich who's Summer recruitment was atrocious, imagine an extra 3 weeks? It means a lot, gives us a better chance of survival.

After losing in our last few playoffs to get to the promise land you do get the feeling Lady Luck might shine through this time :)

Far rather stumble into 2nd in the crappest, spawniest way possible than have to go anywhere near the playoffs.

I've just noticed the play-off final coincides with the start of Sussex v Derbyshire at Hove in the county championship. Could it be that Albion play Derby at Wembley, the same day Sussex play Derbyshire at.....................

Autos. :)

Not to mention Adam and the Ants at the Brighton Centre!

(You can't do both its a 5pm KO)

Heathfield agricultural show too that day. Very inconsiderate of the football league to clash the two.

We must go up automatically.

Let's have a 'winner takes all' one off game to decide who goes up. And we are so confident that we ARE the greatest team that the game will be held on 7th May at the Riverside Stadium. We ARE going up and we ARE going to do it in the oppositions back yard.

If we don't make autos I'll settle for a Wembley win..

Not. torn at all it is automatic without a doubt. Promotion is then guaranteed but not so in the play offs. After the way we have performed since our bad run in December/ early January the play offs would be a dissapointment but an acceptable alternative fall back.

There surely cannot be any sane person who would even remotely contemplate a preference for the playoff final over automatic promotion?
