I’ll take a bobble in the penalty box and a deflection off Grabban’s shin into the net via the goal post if it means promotion to the Premier league on Rotterdam Day!

The prize money at stake (200m+?) would dwarf what we would have won in ‘82 even taking into account inflation. I’d argue winning the playoff final is probably a lot more significant to the club in financial terms than the Rotterdam extravaganza.

Just wish I could be there to see it, but don’t want to jinx it after our last FA cup final! I’ll be watching in Brisbane somewhere hopefully

Good article Dave.  Shares my views too.  Play offs, pfft, just a money making machine. 

Erm, dear God, is it too much to ask that we go up please?

Still does my head in a bit to know Villa are in a Championship play off final. But as you said there's only one place to be on 26th May.
