Once, twice or none?

Work computer system will not allow me to set up a Poll.

I hope it's twice!

I know its tempting fate with threads like this, but it's nice to be in a position at the part of a season where we have a realistic chance of getting there.

Although I think Saturday will be a tough game and I would rather lose to them this Sat than on the 13th!

I was told that one or the other was going to be held at Man City's stadium. Maybe the FA Trophy...?
Not sure how much truth there is in that....

Exactly, the word Wembley should be banned on this forum until such time as we are certain of playing there.

How many times? The Play Off last year clashed with UEFAs demands for the Champions League final at Wembley hence it was moved to the City of Manchester. Can we get this in bold at the top of the forum?

Exactly, that is the only reason why it was moved last season. This season both games will be at that place in that there London which I don't want to mention.

I hope it's twice, but if i were to pick one id take the play off final and get us up and back in the football league.

But think it's that old cliche that applies to us at the minute "lets take one game at a time" then Wembley will take care of itself

None at the moment. But here's hoping for an expensive end to the season.

I'd say 22-26k for play offs and around 15k for cup. I'd be happy with just the playoffs and win

Suggest you look at the dates before making expansive predictions. The two games are one weekend after another.

If we got there twice I could only afford one trip so it would be the play offs!!

I have everything crossed!

Don't care about expenses, if it means enjoying town going to Wembley twice then so be it i will have my luxurys in that month! Fully understand people who cannot afford two trips though, no doubting all the plastics will be coming which in one sense annoys me that they are only bothered because we are going to Wembley and they couldn't be bothered to support us all through the year, on the other hand it raises finances and supplys all a better income for town so it's not all bad. I think if we win York on Saturday then the momentum will carry on to the next fixture, if we lose i don't think it will knock the confidence as we have two guys in charge which have made quite a turn around. I fully respect both of these guys as they didn't have the best of starts and although Rob Scott isn't the nicest bloke around, but the guy is a terrific manager. Who seriously believed Hearn would be a key part of our season when he didn't score in his first 10 or so games. I get excited for every match now as the good feeling is returning to BP, if we do get promotion IF, i think we would build a little then attack the play-offs for next year as most teams tend to do it when coming up. One step at a time though and at the minute its all going swimmingly fine. Back the lads on Saturday, UTM.

I'd guess quite a few people including the managers themselves ?
I was looking for big odds on betfair for Hearn for top BSP goalscorer after his flaky start but then forgot all about it.
Gutted !
At least I had Jamie Vardy at 12/1 (tipped on here)
But to those who backed Hearn, good luck to you.

We've never won at the New Wembley though, so those chickens mean nothing at all.

Play off Final Date is correct but I thought the Tropy Final was 7th May. Well acording to the Fixtures on the Fishy it is.

Think this deserves a new thread, there appears to be some confusion and it appears Fishy fixtures are wrong. It is 12th May.
