[Football] Who do you want to win the Championship playoffs?

[BBassic]

Get f***ed Boro.

 

[Mackenzie]

That’s 20th place sorted next season

Harsh but almost certainly true

 

[Mellotron]

Genuinely don't mind who wins now, perfect final 2.

 

[Wozza]

Luton or Coventry in the premier league next season. Blimey

Both fourth division as recently as 2018.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Proper final that.

Well done football.

I'd probably rather Cov, based on not having been before and meeting a decent one of their fans before we played them at home in The Championship who was able to tell us all about their ownership problems. And Luton being supported by Yaxley-Lennon.

Saw cov v qpr this season at the Ricoh (what ever it’s called) ground miles away from Coventry and very dodge after the game and before not a place i would go back to in a hurry, the midget has been banned from luton for years

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Well now I'm torn.
On the one hand, I don't expect to be able to get a ticket to either Coventry or Luton.
On the other hand, that saves me from having to go to Coventry or Luton.

I'm not sure Luton is any safer though

Hasn't Coventry's stadium got its own train station - that trains don't run to on match days?

Slightly prefer Coventry for emotional reasons, but if it’s Luton that’s also great

Coventry Arena railway station - Wikipedia

Although the station was intended to serve the adjacent arena, it was announced in August 2015 that the station would be closed for one hour preceding and following football matches, rugby matches and concerts on safety grounds as there was insufficient rolling stock to run the services necessary for spectators: while six-carriage trains could be chartered to run every half-an-hour during weekends, the fares generated would not cover the chartering cost.

Runs every hour and gets packed and no where to drink round the Ricoh, found a brilliant pub on the river the engine I think it was called but was a taxi from cov station

 

[Motogull]

Well that's rather lovely.

Fukk off 'boro.

 

[um bongo molongo]

Akpom looked more like the player we remember from what I saw tonight

 

[Greg Bobkin]

COME ON COV!

 

[um bongo molongo]

Need more crying pictures of fans and boro players. Eat THAT middlesbrough!

I’m really disappointed with the Sky coverage of this. There has to be some blubbing to capture surely?

Thanks, and thank you for the pub tip @HangletonGull

Should probably repost that every time someone complains about the trains back from Falmer. Particularly @pure_white

Could be very interesting. Every Prem team will sell out the away end with the exception of Noddy Little Bournemouth.

Well I expected to be able to get a ticket for Villa based on previous experience, but there we go.
More to the point, I just really don't want to have to go to Coventry.
I don't care if somebody offers to give me a ticket, you can't make me go.

Oh for all we (rightly) moan about Govia Southern Thameslink, West Midlands Trains are a whole different level of basket case. Not very long ago in a dispute over overtime they were running absolutely no trains on Sundays. Anywhere. Because of an overtime ban.

Try dealing with Trans Pennine Express.
Genuinely, if they just committed in advance to not running any trains I think that'd be an improvement.
