Nobody is worried about facing you, be more worried about becoming the Leeds of the NL by blowing it every year than what we think if I were you. Not even another scam artist roping in a former England manager trying to get North Korea to give you a line of credit will save you now. First time you blew it in the finals, then you blew it in the semi, I guess next you'll blow it in the quarter finals, maybe you won't even make the playoffs after that.

I have to say, I’m genuinely very relaxed about things as they stand. Looking at it objectively, there are 6 teams going into this play-off campaign; 1 will get promoted, 5 won’t.
If you work on the basis we have a 50/50 chance of winning any game we enter, that works out at a chance of 12.5%, or 1 in 8 of going all the way. If you assume it’s slightly less than 50/50 given our lack of home advantage, then it probably falls somewhere between 1 in 10 to 12. Like every other side going into the play-offs, we are more likely to lose at some stage than we are to win promotion.
But that doesn’t overly concern me. To be where we are at this stage in the club’s recovery under our new ownership is an achievement in itself, and whatever happens over the next fortnight I am confident that we’ll go into next season far stronger than we did in August last year.
I’m working on the basis that should we lose at Notts County, which we may well do, then it’s not that big a deal in the scheme of things. If we do get a win at Meadow Lane tomorrow night, and anything at all beyond that, it’s just a huge, huge bonus.
Whilst I’m sure there’ll be a few nerves jangling come this time tomorrow, I can honestly say I’ve never felt so relaxed about a play-off tie in my entire life following Town. I hope the players and staff feel in a similar way; there is no pressure on us for once.

I didn't know that the fishing season had started yet,I was sat by the Trent myself this morning at Stoke Bardoff just relaxing and watching the world go by,sometimes the anglers come over and start chatting and they all say that the Trent is nowhere as good as it was in the past for fishing, is this local to the Trent or have the fish stocks disappeared in general,what's it like where you fish?
Your quite right still shut untill 16 june . But you have canals that are open .. and yes i would agree not as good as it used to be . like our teams

Very well put Poojah,I would say that the odds on Grimsby winning are 60/40,they are playing away from home,they won the last time that we played so have nothing to fear aannddd... Notts usually intercourse up important games,both clubs need to win three games on the bounce and that's a tough ask when you are playing the top clubs in your league

Excellent post Mr Poojah. Exactly as I feel and if things don’t work out in the play offs - looking forward to the club building forward to next season.
Having said that - Town were doing fantastically well this season until the massive blip last Christmas / New Year. I hope that type of blip can be neutralised next season - whether we’re in this league or the one above. UTM

That wasn't me honest 😂 Yeah that's where I sit,where the water flows out to the Trent near the Ferry Boat pub,tbh there's no smell just there as the wind usually takes it in the opposite direction but I know what you mean
