Interesting that should be the case, I thought that with their second relegation to League 1 and Dave Whelan handing over the reins, the money was running out and they were returning to their natural level. Is it likely instead that they've become established in the top two divisions, like we...

Why? It might suggest League 1 is getting weaker and that you stand a good chance of going up again.

Well, at least the relatively low expenditure on away games will soften the blow of relegation for the Rotherham fans next season. ;)

Is the Championship pretty much going the same way as the Premiership money-wise (albeit obviously on a smaller scale)? You'd think that with all the money floating around up there and transfer records being broken every window the gap between it and the Championship would get even bigger, but...

Just realized Rotherham winning means that all teams relegated from the Championship will have bounced back at the first attempt. Must be a first, not just at this level but in any division surely? (I'm not counting ones where there's only one promotion place)

Didn't know Chris Coleman had been sacked by Sunderland and that was four weeks ago! Doesn't surprise me in fairness as while there are a lot of problems with that squad, they had too many good players in it to go down, never mind finish bottom with 37 points, and outside his Wales stint he's a...

OK, well I suppose one good thing can be said about those Leeds fans from Donny in that they played their part in generating an atmosphere at Wembley (even the day-trippers - whatever people say against them, better to be playing in front of one-game-a-season types en masse than swathes of empty...

I don't get your point, how is tens of thousands of fans travelling from Doncaster to support Leeds (in many cases in the loosest sense of the word) any different than the same number of fans not travelling from Doncaster to support their local team?

And just imagine what he's going to be like now...:eye:

Didn't see or even follow any of this game, and it seems I didn't miss much after rightly feeling it was going to be a turgid affair. It's strange that two of the best six teams in one of the best football leagues in the world which have scored 60+ goals each should produce such a drab game...

Well if we never complained about things we'd never get very far in life, and complaining about something isn't inherently ungracious.

Who, Evans or Flitcroft?

Well done Coventry, deserve some cheer after so many years of decline without even a play-off place. Of the three FL play-off finals this looks to be the most intriguing pairing, and if the way Coventry played tonight is any indication should be a great advert for League 2 and less cagey than...

Too many childish mostly anti-Lincoln comments celebrating their loss and belittling their recent achievement and refusing to give any credit to an amazing turnaround by Danny Cowley and co at a club that for many years that looked to be going nowhere except down again. It doesn't take a rocket...

And that Coventry fan who seems to have a real problem with Lincoln for whatever weird reason...

Very bad sportsmanship shown on the play-off threads in both the League 1 and 2 forums, and virtually none of it from fans of the losing sides. Is it too much to expect grown people to discuss football matches like adults? I thought this forum was better than that.

They were an established Conference side during the 1990s but then recently nearly dropped into county league football, while not quite Leigh or Histon like, that's still some tumble from grace. Apparently they were reprieved in 2008 after finishing second from bottom in Southern League Div. 1...

If Burton can stay up there, any club can.

Well for a team who played too negative with one up front and far too much long ball, you did remarkably well to get 19 shots on goal and 6 on target (same as Scunny) and wrap up the tie nearly half an hour from time when it was still 11 vs 11, a bit of a harsh assessment surely? You could turn...

I assumed they were empty, because they don't allow people to bring bottles into big stadia and you usually have to take the top off when you buy a drink at the bar, and I would've thought even lowlifes like those wouldn't throw a bottle still full of liquid for fear of it splashing someone and...
