Now that we have secured our place in the Championship for next season I suppose we can start to speculate a bit about who else will be there. Sheff Utd, WBA and Fulham - really good away experience so hope that will if it happens be on a nice sunny Saturday afternoon - look like they will be coming down from the Premiership, while Hull and Peterborough look to be coming up from Div 1. But there looks to be a real scrap to see who will get into the play-offs from that division. There are a couple of interesting matches tonight - Sunderland against a team from the Fylde Coast and Charlton with you presume despite his penalty miss on Saturday Mr Stockley against Crewe. Now if both Sunderland and Charlton win then the latter will edge above the team from the Fylde Coast with only three games left to play. I suppose that if the team from the Fylde Coast came up then there would be a couple of lively 'derbies' for those of you in Preston to attend but I suppose I would prefer Charlton because that is near me and usually a good experience to attend but it could be Sunderland, Lincoln, Oxford or Portsmouth.
 
Sunderland because I have a free lift to the game up there with a Sunderland workmate.

Beers etc.
 
Lincoln would be nice.

I'm told it is a nice city to visit, whilst it would also be another one off my 92 list and a club we ain't played in years
 
To be honest, I would not be unhappy in the slightest if the Lashers got promoted. I desperately want us to play them again.

On the other hand, I would also derive immense pleasure from seeing them fall to a 90th minute winner in the PO final.

They play at Sunderland tonight.
 
I have relatives who now live on the South Coast so if Portsmouth join us could make a mini break round the game.
Always get decent crowds as well.

It's a win-win situation really... a couple of derbies next season, or enjoy them festering in the league below for another year!
 
There’s also a chance that all of the players who have recently left us for bigger and better things may all end up back in the Championship.....Robinson, Johnstone, Pearson, Davies and even Hugill because if he can’t get a game for Norwich in the Championship he’s no chance in the Premier.

Have they got a roof over the away end yet? Last time I went in October 2001(we won 1-0 with a Cartwright goal) it was open. Luckily a dry day.

Has the makings of a decent side that.
 
I remember being on the London Underground a few years back chock full of Sunderland fans after they had just lost a PO final to Charlton, don’t know if Sunderland fans would like revenge or would be worried of deja vu.

I like reading your posts Ernest, but why oh why do you persist in writing “the team from the Fylde Coast” instead of Blackpool. I find it annoying and it just seems so childish to me, and your posts are above that.
