Fantastic atmosphere at Christie Park on Saturday. 3rd highest ever attendance there behind the two FA Cup 3rd round ties against Weymouth and Ipswich and i was at all 3. Jim Bentley clattered their centre forward in the last minute which caused a right fracas including all their bench. Their manager was so wound up he interrupted Jim's interview with Sky 10 minutes after the match shouting abuse at him. Could be interesting if we both get to the play off final.
By the end of yesterday they had sold 1200 tickets already for the play off semi final. Time for revenge over the Daggers. They beat us on a penalty shoot out the first time we ever got to the Conference play offs 7 years ago

No need trying to disguise it. A mullering against an older, more experienced and physical side who stopped us playing and rose to the occasion in front of 15,000 hooligans.
Re: Tonight's football thread
We managed to sign off at Chrisite Park with a last minute win last night. Off to the new stadium next season. The diggers will move onto Christie Park on Monday and it will soon be another Sainsburys

Hmm....2-7 on aggregate. I like the fact that you are clearly a glass half full rather than half empty type of football supporter

They're not the most lovable of characters are they. Probably a bit like us I'm sure you would say.
One thing that suprised me though was why you had such a poor crowd at the Galpharm last Saturday. I definitely thought that you needed to take a lead from your home leg to stand a reasonable chance of going through against Millwall given their record at The New Den. So a large passionate crowd behind you might have helped.
Anyway, your team is young as you say and I'm sure you will be challenging next season.

After the 6-0 drubbing on Sunday there were some optimists around here who thought we could still get through but i wasnt one of them. The best we could hope for was to sign off 89 years at Christie Park with a win on the night.
For those of us who have supported them through the Lancashire Combination, Northern Premier League and the Conference, finishing 4th in this League seems like a dream. Would have been nice to round it off with another trip to Wembley but it wasnt to be this year.

Spot on. Attendance and atmosphere was terrible. It was much better when we played them in the League earlier in the season. I think because it's Millwall, many of the families (after all we are a so-called family club) didn't turn up and so this led to a fairly poor crowd.
We definitley needed a good lead to take to the Den of a couple of goals or so. I have never seen hooligans like it - throwing bottles across at us at our place, one of which hit a guy down the row from me and cut his forehead open. Disgusting lot - not fit to go anywhere. Then they all complain as to why they are hated so much! Leeds fans aren't in the same League as Millwall fans.
Still, next season looks bright. We've started our dealing in the transfer market already - 400,000 for a Scottish midfielder, seeing off interest from Southampton. Good luck in the Championship.
