Shitting it tbh, not because it's the Tescos though. I'd be the same if we were playing Rotherham. It's more or less knockout football. I was watching the Norwich lot today at the end and thinking how nice it would be for it all to be done and dusted and celebrating.

There's (apparently) no better way to get promoted than via the playoffs according to ex pros who've been through both.

Thumping Derby (because Leeds look like a busted flush) at Wembley and picking up a trophy we've never won before and will never need to win again will be a great end to the season!

Cheers franky, what went wrong mate? Trying to play like a top 6 side with new recruits and championship players, unable to keep clean sheets, needing to score 2 or 3 goals to win games, pretty poor recruitment considering we spent over £100 million, stand out players in the championship performing poorly in the premiership,

People keep saying that but I would much, much, much rather go up as champions with 100+ points on the board and a +50 goal difference.  The play-off final last year was the most nervous I've ever been before a game and the most deflated I've ever felt afterwards (possibly bar the 2000 FA Cup final).  Pacing round the house at 7am like a ruddy idiot, fuck that, I'd rather be on the beach looking forward to next season laughing at the other teams having to go through it.

If we do go up it will be three weeks less rest for players and less time to sign or sell players into a reconstructed team.

5,000 season ticket seats still unclaimed according to the OS. Better get your skates on.

Find it staggering if true that around a quarter of our season ticket holders didn't bother getting a seat for the Albion game !

Or maybe they got different seats.

Yeah possibly Dave. Not thrilled with the idea of them going to general sale later though.

We need to win and go up because if we don't the team that played today will be the team next season. That is not a good prospect to be looking forward to.

Plus the £40m we will get for the players we sell to get some replacements

I am a little concerned because I have bought my season tickets seats and they were immediately showing as no longer available to buy, but I have had no confirmation email. This is especially odd given that I requested  e-tickets.

It’s awkward that we have moved into the period where someone else can buy my seats whilst the ticket office is closed and I can’t query this!

I bought ticket as an e-ticket and it's the same for me, the sale is recorded against my ID.

They were saying at the game yesterday that details will be finalised on Tuesday so my guess is that's when they'll send the mails.

I bought my seat last week, had it uploaded onto my card and almost immediately had an email confirmation.  I would imagine that if payment has been accepted, you will be OK.
