This nonsense about being effectively promoted tomorrow because of our superior GD

[Stat Brother]

We also run the risk of [MENTION=12595]Acker79[/MENTION] doing something fudging stupid with orange, on the 'can't catch us thread'.

And I'm not having that.

 

[Change at Barnham]

I so want it to be at Norwich with repeated choruses of 'Chrissy Hughton's Blue & White Army' booming out.

Then capped at the end of the game with the boss walking across the Carrow Road pitch to acknowledge the Albion support with a knowing smile to the bewildered Norwich supporters that says, "You should have stuck with me you carrot crunchers".

Hudds lose, we win tomorrow and we have preliminary/warm up celebrations ahead of the formal affair at home on Monday. Everyone's happy??

I have been one of the most dibelieving people on the planet this season constantly worrying and then celebrating then worrying. If Preston and BHA win tomorrow we are up. FACT.

I see Edna's 150+ thumbs post about just enjoying the whole thing stage by stage has been kicked into touch already.

Not by me, it isn't over until its over,

 

[Frutos]

For me (and you) the absolute dream results tomorrow are Brighton WIN, Hudds/Preston DRAW.

Win v Wigan required to SEAL promotion.

That would suit me too.

 

[Gazwag]

The scenario I want most is to seal promotion on Monday at the final whistle and to celebrate with those who I have stood with for the past 5 years. If we don't do it then, then I want Huddersfield to beat Derby so we can get there on the next final whistle at Norwich.

Is anyone really wetting themselves that it isn't going to happen though? For me, it is when it is mathematically certain and that's when it will really sink in. Doesn't mean I think Huddersfield will overhaul it.

I'll compare it to when you get married. You're waiting for the bride to arrive so there is a little worry. She's there and walking down the aisle (or whatever in the venue you are at). It's looking more then likely but not yet certain. The priest/registrar etc get's to the bit about anyone here know just cause why they shouldn't get married . Silence, so it's even closer. You say your vows but it's not until you get the 'I know pronounce you man and wife' that the deal is done (ok, it might not be official till you sign the registra but you get the gist). Well same with promotion!

But what if one of you is already married so you're committing bigamy?!

The analogy with our situation is getting another 15 points to the end of season then getting a twenty points deduction for going bust or TB to be found (rather belatedly) as not a fit and proper person to own the club?

Or CH incurring such a penalty for over-exuberance on the touch line.

Or Trump declaring a nuclear war pre-season? Oh hang on, maybe not so unlikely......!?

Suggest the mods close all these threads, from both the ultimate pessimists and the triumphalists......!

I will also be there tomorrow. Very relaxed about the match and seeing it as another away day out. I won't worry if Wolves win at all.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

The thing about achieving promotion over Easter is that it takes all of the excitement out of the end of the season.

We can deal with that by losing the next four matches and keeping our fingers crossed.

Go for it, Chris.

Just get a grip people. Until it is mathematically done we are not promoted.

I'll be losing all grip on reality if Preston and Albion both win tomorrow...

Because in the real world we are up if that were to happen

 

[Triggaaar]

Why are some of you wanting to reduce the amount of times we celebrate?

I want to celebrate 'just about promoted' and 'actually promoted' alike. And then 'promoted as Champions' please

 

[symyjym]

We are in a strange position, a bit like our promotion to the Championship. 16 points ahead of game in hand Southampton, with 5 games to go and we finished just 3 points ahead of them. They won all their last games and we only added 5 points from 5.

Right this second we need 2 wins to be mathematically certain but it might turn out that we don’t need any at all. It has a hanging around in purgatory feel about it and awaiting a final judgment.

Still it feels a lot nicer than scrapping for points just to get in the playoffs.

Ow we are Sir. Kick back, enjoy, invite your neighbours for a drink BECAUSE WE ARE BACK IN THE BIG TIME! Baby!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

It may be the latent accountant in me but it really hacks me off.

If we are 15 points ahead with Huddersfield with 5 games to go, the assumption is that even if we lose 4 and they win 5 they won't overtake us on goal difference. But they could and therefore it is not promotion, effectively or not.

Well it's 35 goals to make up. Say we lose all four of us 3-0 like at Forest, that's 12 of them. Could be worse at Norwich if they are on fire! 23 goals in the Huddersfield games is only 5-0 in four and 3-0 in another.

Oh okay, yes it isn't going to happen is it. But the phrase does for some reason make my blood boil.

Wouldn't it be just lovely if every NSC registered member decided to start a thread on whatever at that moment came into their head?

Isn't that pretty much what happens anyway

 

[MattBackHome]

Isn't that exactly what happens anyway?

 

[perseus]

Not forgetting, we have to be ahead of Newcastle on points, or even on points on goal difference or even on goal difference on goals scored. Otherwise even and we lose on the head to head results.

 

[Goring-by-Seagull]

Turns out we both have great minds.

 

[Hellingull]

If we win and Huddersfield lose tomorrow then I think we can pop the cork and hopefully pour a glass on Monday
