Quoted from promotion plaice
Bradford lose at Crewe tonight so now can't go up automatically.

Crewe's winner in the 11th minute of stoppage time.


Nice story to this.

The reason for the large amount of stoppage time was that, after Bradford got the equalizer to make it 2-2, some of their fans
threw flares onto the pitch and started scrapping with Crewe stewards.

Bradford had been on top (coming back from 2 down), but after the delay it was Crewe with the momentum again.

So rather pleasing that Crewe won it at the death.

Quoted from Meza
it all comes down to who wants it more and being clinical in those moments.  Personally I want County to come up, and I think it will be Notts v Boreham wood final.  Chesterfield I can see bottling it.

It's Notts v Borehamwood in the semi.

Bradford have to play Leyton Orient, who you would think want to end their title winning season with a bang.  If Bradford fail to win and Mansfield beat Colchester with 3 goal swing over the two games, Mansfield don't even make the play-offs.

Incredible how tight it is. I fancy Tranmere to act as party poopers to Northampton too on Monday with a draw, Stockport (home to a miserable Hartlepool)  only needing a win to snatch the automatic spot thanks to superior goal difference.

Mansfield are 3 points behind Bradford, so Bradford have to lose at home to Orient for them to have any chance whatsoever. However, potentially crucially, Mansfield are 3 behind on GD but with a comfortably better goals for column.

So, if Bradford were to lose by a single goal, a win by a margin of two goals for Mansfield would see them make the play-offs ahead of the bantams. If Bradford were to lose by more than a single goal, then any win will do for Mansfield.

It's not a foregone conclusion. That late goal will have got bums twitching at Valley Parade, make no mistake.

Yeah, I meant to say "Bradford don't even make the play-offs".  

Too early.  Not enough caffeine yet.

As someone mentioned earlier, is there a financial aspect to finishing higher up the table or just a todger swinging contest?

I don't think there is any prize money in League Two. Every club gets the same sized slice from broadcasting revenue and Premier League solidarity payments.

Struggling to work out how Bradford managed to mess it up v a Crewe side with nowt to play for. Or maybe Crewe’s style of play just suits us…

On the three occasions I've seen us play Crewe, they've looked poor.

Strange that they've turned over Bradford who, on both occasions I've seen us play them, looked good.

Hartlepool are probably wondering something similar about us. How could we lose to them twice yet do the double over Stockport?

Ah, it's a funny old game!
