Don't get that at all. That doesn't make sense. Not unless that 52,000 attendance is wrong. If Sheff Utd got just under 40,000 tickets, that means Huddersfield only took 12,000 to the play off final, despite having 15,000 for their home play-off match. I need to check elsewhere to confirm the...

Not my idea. Someone suggested it on 5 Live a couple of years back. I would assume they sent it to the FL and it is still in the pending tray.

Cyrille's goal return was very poor, but he was a great target man to lay the ball off for others.

Yep, Matesx's prediction seems a little low. No game for 2 weeks and last time out we won 6-0. Should encourage a few more. Hoping for around 13,000.

How not to play football?

Yep, the Plains who are grumpy this year! Be us Stripey's next!

Well they wouldn't for Sheff Utd. They got 18,000 on Saturday for a league game, they would surely be able to muster 40,000 -50,000 in a play off final. We would and Sheff Utd get better crowds than us. The other matches perhaps, but the Sheff Utd one shows the system is wrong. 52,000 total...

Last 5 finals all with much reduced attendances.

Something must have changed, cos I've looked back and all the attendance are around the 40,000 mark until you go back to 2010, where Millwall played Swindon in front of 73,000. Since then, all 40,000's apart from that one that was just over 50,000. Did they change the rules all of a sudden?

To play in an almost half empty stadium though? Ridiculous.

Would love to know for certain. Last season's final had an attendance of 48,000, with 25,000 from Preston and 23,000 from Swindon. The season before was 43,000 for the game between Orient and Rotherham. The season previous to that was 42,000 for Brentford v Yeovil. 52,000 the year before...

Think Stupot said the teams only get about 28,000 each anyway and the rest are corporate. Is that right?

Whether fair or not though, since it's introduction the play-offs have made things so much more exciting. Previously, if three teams were well clear at the top with a month to go, the season would be over for more than half the teams in the division. Someone however did came up with a...

Cheers, VOR. Appreciate it.

Thanks. What sort of crowds were we getting back then? Also, can I ask, as you went through the transition from Bantams to Sky Blues, how did you feel when the changes were announced? New nickname, new colours. Were you opposed, or did you embrace it? And what about friends and peers?

Me neither. Stokes is as steady as a rock and now we have Cargill and Stephens, who both look really comfortable on the ball. Add to that Aaron Martin coming back in Martin Lorentzson as an option at right back and it's all looking so much better. I think we will be much tighter at the back as...

That's navy blue and white I take it.

With mine she is just tidying up. I always say 'next time can you just remember where you put it' but she never does. Every single time she will say she can't remember. We usually find the item eventually after days of looking.

Can I just add, I would be just as perplexed if they did this with programmes I love too (Porridge, Only Fools and Horses, Likely Lads, Fawlty Towers, Men Behaving Badly etc.) Just leave stuff alone. Surely Are You Being Served is going to look so dated too. They have set it in 1988. The show...

Yep agree. If we had a right midfielder who could get balls into the box, then replacing Armstrong with Henderson would make much more sense.
