This bunch of shysters decided that the rules didn’t apply to them and set about blagging and bribing their way into the Football League. The real disgrace, of course, was that the League let them get away with it, and at the expense of a club who had made it to the Football League in the honourable way. So there’s an even more glorious manner in which to end the season than sending Ince and his cloggers on their way, and that’s to deny this lot any chance of automatic promotion and to put a smile on the faces of those fantastic people at AFC Wimbledon (keep an eye on the Dons, in the Ryman play-offs now, success would leave them just two promotions from a return to the Football League).

I could not agree more with you Phil - very well put !!! I would like nothing more than to see the franchise fail to gain automatic promotion (I don't think they deserve it anyway !) and I really hope that Stanley won't take their foot off the gas on Saturday and really give the Dons a hammering !
I have friends who are Swindon supporters who are very nervous about Saturday's results, fearing that Stanley may lose by at least three goals and Swindon's hopes dashed if they lose to Walsall. I also have some very good friends who are supporters of Walsall - hoping desperately that their club can win the title on Saturday for their first trophy in 47 years.
If Walsall beat Swindon 1-0 and Stanley can beat the Dons, draw with them or only lose by the odd goal, everyone will be happy !
Walsall will take the title, Swindon will be automatically promoted, the Dons will have failed to gain that third automatic promotion spot (and will hopefully fail in the play offs too
) and Stanley will have ended the season with a flourish !
I'm going to get my prayer mat out now !
