Championship Play-Off Final - Blackpool v Cardiff

[Phil Neville Superstar]

Yes, I know it's a week away, but here it goes...

WHO DO YOU WANT TO WIN?!?!?

It would be a bit surreal for Blackpool to be in the Premiership I reckon! Wouldn't mind a weekend away there for the match, then again, a day out in Cardiff wouldn't be too bad

Cardiff City for me. Would have preferred Forest, as I'd loved to visit their ground with Everton next season. Was already planning that trip tbh. Cardiff sounds like a nice alternative though.

Blackpool for me, don't we owe them for Bally?

 

[spikeman]

If Blackpool wins, do you think they will try to keep Coleman?

They will try..

... but will fail

 

[coyney]

Got relatives in Cardiff so Iwant Blackpool to smash them

blackpool to win, as coleman comes back we could send shane duffy on loan for six months to gain first team/ premier league experience maybe a couple of the other academy players coming though, to see how they cope with no risk if they fcuk up

I'll be sure that a visit to my mate at Uni in Nottingham coincides with Leeds away.

Anyway, hope Cardiff win although Blackpool would make a nice little underdog fairytale-type story. Plus I can forsee a chant:

"One 'Pool in the league, there's only one 'Pool in the league!"

Bloomfield Road only holds 9,000 I think, so how many tickets would the away team get!?

8900.
Sorry the pool.

Have you seen the aerial photos of their ground? Half a stadium is what it is.

It is a three-side stadium now, with plans to complete the ground if they go up

They just completed another stand but it only hold 3600, so their capacity now is around 13000. Oyston claims that if they win promotion they will fast-track another stand, but it's still not going to improve things much. Someone mentioned to me on Friday that they may have to look into the option of a ground share to begin with - Preston already told them no unsurprisingly but maybe that will change depending on the outcome of the winding-up order. There is no minimum capacity rule in place at the moment so maybe it's down to revenue issues? Either way, it would be a real shame for the town if Blackpool make it into the Prem but can't play their games at Bloomfield because I reckon a fair few away fans would come for the game and make a weekend out of it.

Hope Blackpool make it. I used to go out with a girl from Blackpool

Theres a winding up order request in place for Preston North End from the Inland Revenue/HMRC........ so they might not have a choice.
