A Date For The Diary - Saturday 28th May 2016

Just in case , this season could be our season DON'T book a holiday for 28th May 2016 , in case we make the playoffs final at Wembley (We live in hope) :-0
For some reason the Football League have the playoffs listed on their website as being on a Saturday, i thought they always had it on a Bank Holiday Monday?

My Dad godbless him, made the misfortune of missing our Playoffs win in May 1998 as he'd already booked a holiday in Florida, upon ringing him up to tell him we'd been promoted he promptly celebrated by diving into the hotel pool.

It'll be because of the Euros...

These days because so many players in the Championship go to the Euros / World Cup, this playoff final is held first so that the players have adequate time to rest before being called up by their National side

I remember a call to Mark Mansfield on RTM about this in the weeks after the game where people were calling in with their stories from the day

The eternal optimist in me thinks that this could be our year , and i should be booking a hotel in the Wembley area , the pessimist in me says we'll be swimming with the fishes (and lions) down in League one.

Surely team wise , we're in a better place than 12 months ago?

My earlier post isn't clear, was referring to the jumping into the pool in Florida after hearing the 1998 Play off result
