Would you take 2nd place, if offered it now (before tonight's games)?

That's like betting £1 million on a toss of a coin just to win an additional £1 if right.

Take promotion now.

It isn't. We're looking nailed on top 2. Accepting 2nd now is like cashing out for £400 when your bet looks certain for a £400,000 payout. If you honestly don't think we are going to win 3 of our last 6, and you'd give up a shot at silverware, then what is the point of competing at the highest level with that mentality!?

Top of the league, 83 points with 6 to play, get to **** I'm taking 2nd!

You get a trophy for second place.

What lunacy is this, it's not non-competitive schools sports day!
I have no interest in such nonsense as a runners up title trophy.

Might as well parade with a bouquet of flowers.

I would have said promotions is the main aim but I have £1,100 riding on us winning the title, no each way bet. Selfish I know but the title would be great. That said I will be more than happy with promotion, wining the title would just be the cherry on top of the cake betting wise.

We'll go up if we focus on winning the title.

This. If we start looking over our shoulders, we'll increase the chances of stumbling and missing out. We should focus on the carrot in front of us: chase the title, and the automatic promotion will sort itself out.

Going up a priority however we can win this...

A nice bit of shiny new silverware to be displayed in a nice shiny new ground :)

Agree. What we don't want is for this to happen.

Yes in a heartbeat. As nice as winning the league would be the prize is the same.

Yes ! Would be a feather in the cap winning the title (and probably a few more quid)but the prize is the same.
