. . . . .but will be routing for Exeter this afternoon, nothing against Blackpool - would just prefer they stay in league 2 so we can have another cracking away day/weekend next season - purely selfish I know but come on you Grecians!!:)

P.s. Darren England is the ref so anything could happen, you'd think they'd have a decent one for the final :rolleyes:

Re: Against the grain . . .
 

Agree totally, AccyMad, even though Exeter is one of the closest (!) games for me.
But the Grecians are already one goal down.

Captain Aldred has been subbed. Took a knock on the bonce earlier but eventually had to go off.

Equaliser for Execkerter!

Re: Against the grain . . .
 

Poor Tom, not the way to spend your big day at Wembley -.still chuffed Exeter have equalised though :)

Re: Against the grain . . .
 

Damn it!! :(

On the plus side, its more money for Stanley going into the non parachute payment pot ;)

Re: Against the grain . . .
 

I'm guessing here, Macca, but does that mean the 'parachute payment' that would have gone to Blackpool for being relegated last season is now divvied up between the rest of League 2?

Re: Against the grain . . .
 

I took it that he was joking as there are only parachute payments for those relegated from the EPL. EFL clubs only get a share of the unused ones where the team gets promoted to the EPL again.


Edit
It appears that there are now parachute payments in the EFL but only for a year and they are pitiful so makes no difference. Unless it changed again

Anyone hear Tom's faux pas after the game - bless, you can take the lad out of Bolton but . . . :D

Re: Against the grain . . .
 

Well done Blackpool

Re: Against the grain . . .
 

for their fans anyway.

Re: Against the grain . . .
 

The ones who went or those who stayed away?? I understand their feelings but why wouldn't you want to support your team at Wembley - don't get it

Re: Against the grain . . .

Re: Against the grain . . .
