well if it comes to that we shall have to be devastated and be prepared to pick ourselves up for the play off's....a 2nd chance the team of 78 did not have.

What exactly is it that you fear Charlton and Burnley can do to their mutual advantage that can stitch us up?
NB. Remember, Stains and Spurs both benefitted by playing out a pre-arranged meaningless draw.....................................

If they delayed kick off an hour than the games would still be being broadcast at 3pm which is not allowed.

1 game at a time.all we need to worry about is 3pm sat 23/4/16.
I have completely lost the will to live. Normally I agree with your posts, BG, but this time, you've killed me 
Everybody understands your concern. Nobody agrees with it.

This, obviously.
Your concern is so off the wall that nobody took it seriously. The games all start at the same time, but then they will run their natural course. What will be will be.

My only concern atm is we might not get promoted after such an amazing season

Stains were already promoted. Spuds needed a point. Spuds fans were very naughty at that time causing agg wherever they went in the 2nd division. The local plod would not have been able to cope with the spuds fans not being very happy if they had lost therefore a draw was always going to be the result that kept everybody happy. That result also gave the stains the title. Win win as far as those 2 teams were concerned. My most vivid memory was of stains golden boy of the time, Tony Funnell
scoring for fun in the later part of the season, hitting the post from about 3 yards, he would have scored 99/100 throughout the season. I still believe he miskicked but if he did score, spuds would have been "allowed" to equalise just to keep the peace. My opinion of how the game was played out of course.Just at this moment, if that is your major concern then you seem very confident indeed.
I think 9 goals in 2 games dispelled that theory

Never mind the Charlton game, my question is do we have enough forks at the Amex for the Derby game?

They will know anyway - there's a remarkable thing called a "radio" and also "the internet" that broadcasts these incidents to fans and managers who will make sure that their players know immediately. Surely you've seen the buzz that goes round a ground when rivals concede or score at these matches. The requisite people will know as soon as it happens

My concern at The Amex is STILL, after all this time, the till training. Every time, if the cost is say £15.40 and you give £20.40 in eager anticipation of being returned a nice crisp Lady Godiva, it causes a look of total bewilderment followed by a confused huddle, calls for a supervisor and climaxing sadly in a handful of (usually incorrect) shrapnel.
I worry about this too... especially as I thought most of them were students from the nearby universities?

Sweet mother of god, what a thing to be concerned about BG!
Really, I mean, really, how much of a difference is it going to make anyway? We have to get the job done ourselves and Burnley aren't going to change their game based on how things are going for us - they'll be playing bully hoofball no matter what. The simple mitigation for your concern is for us to have it sewn up in the first 45 minutes.
Although the scenario Easy has depicted could of course play out. Charlton fans delay the entire league long enough that all games run out of time and are declared 0-0.
If that happens, we can simply do the same at every game next season and go up by nature of alphabetical advantage. Villa and Blackburn as automatic and us at Wembley! GENIUS.
