How's your footy team doing?

I did say "local" team, WN, not your team in the proper sense. However Stockport managed to win tonight, so it looks like the playoffs after all. Guess you wouldn't have been gracing them with your presence even if you had been home.

All to play for at the JSS on Monday night now. I don’t know what happened to VAR but it seems it’s only for the final. I wonder if it’s something to do with state of Luton’s stadium. To say Kenilworth Road has seen better days would be the understatement of the century, perhaps they couldn’t fit the technology into such a small place!

I heard probably the silliest bit of punditry ever last night. Town could well have had a penalty within 15 seconds of kick off, but the ref bottled it. One the of the “experts” said it was probably too early in the game for the ref to give it. I didn’t know you had to have played a set amount of time before you could be awarded a penalty. Unbelievable Jeff! The ref was from the elite greedy league squad who seemingly are lost without VAR.

Well you got the only goal, Rog, so Wembley bound, and find out tomorrow who you will play, although I guess Forest are favourites for that game.

Get in ⚽️⚽️!
Wemberleeee, 🙂🙂🙂🙂.

Recommend the Club’s Denham site for a long weekend, with fast trains to the stadium station.

Enjoy.🙂⚽️🙂

Yes we were dreadful in the first half but the best team by far in the second.

The JSS was full to capacity and bouncing at the end. I didn’t know what the referee was doing at the end he came across to the tunnel before blowing and when I looked the back Lino from the far side wasn’t far behind him. Then I realised they had correctly predicted the pitch invasion which followed. 

Amazing scenes at the final whistle at least 5,000 people on the pitch.

Forest look favourites to join us at Wembley and I think they’re favourites for promotion as well, but you never know.

Wasn’t a classic but good old Jordan Rhodes has still got the poacher’s instinct .

I haven’t seen the stadium that full since we were last in the greedy league. We’ll see if the Blades can turn it round tomorrow. If it is a Yorkshire derby then the last time we played them at Wembley it went to penalties and all 11 players from both sides took one with our keeper scoring and their keeper blasting over the bar. The shoot out took nearly as long as extra time.

Crivens, the M1 is going to be busy on Sunday week. I wasn’t looking forward to trying to book tickets on the infamous Ticketmaster web site after reading the nightmare stories on the Town fans forum, but once I had registered membership with the club’s website it was relatively uncomplicated. 

As the SIL has to work on the Monday taking the caravan down sadly isn’t an option, and since my other GS wants to go with us, we’re driving down to Islington where we can leave the car outside his house and thence on the Tube to Wembley. Not going down the M1 it’ll be the A1 for us.

“Crivens” 🙂, not heard that since I worked in scenic Grangemouth! 
Good luck, and enjoy the game. Your grandsons will certainly love the Wembley trip.
Big game for City on Sunday, v the Seals. (picked that one up from a Baggies fan I worked with some years ago). 
Had a good season, whatever happens…..🙂⚽️🙂

That is a new one. We’ve always called them Aston Vanilla.

Living in London my eldest grandson  goes to Wembley quite a lot. For some reason he’s into boxing .He was at the very first Cup final there and I gave him some brass to buy an extra programme to keep pristine as I thought it might become a collector’s item.

The youngest one was there for Town’s last appearance five years ago but this year should be a bit special, he’s just recovering slowly from long covid which has kept him away from the JSS for most of the season. He managed to go to the home leg of the semifinal and that was his first match since the start of the season 

I’m sure we’ll have a good day out, I’m not confident of a win however

Well done to Man City and Pliers who must be "over the Blue Moon."

They did make it hard for themselves though. Must have been a nervous 70 minutes or so.

Good luck to the Terriers.
