I posted this on a different thread but Rotherham ground is being used for the under 17s European championshnip. They have a quarter final match taking place at 2pm on Sunday 13th May.
A draw would be the best result but I'd prefer a Peterborough win. They would still be a point behind us & we really need to win out last 3 games in any case imo, so they wont be able to catch us. Also it would give them extra impetus when they play Pompey - if they lose tonight I reckon they will be out of it & so wont have much to play for.

A Blackburn win would be better... If they get promoted before their trip to the Valley, that game will matter less to them

I can see the logic but if we beat Pompey this weekend they are five points behind with only two games left. We shouldn't be worrying about either them or Peterborough if we win on Saturday.
The way I see it, we need a winner for Blackburn. A draw doesn't really do us any favours either way.
And a win for us on Saturday would put Pompey out of it. Those two results would make the Pompey Peterboro match on the last day of the season irrelevant.
Too many connotations!!! Blackburn win then Posh are out of it, but then Shrews pretty much out of autos so less reason for them to play for and i'm fairly sure they have a few of our rivals left to play as well... Plus Blackburn stay in the title hunt for us Posh win and Blackburn are more out of the title race and be on their hols when they play us. Draw may be best of both worlds.

but no less likely that the Sky cameras will be there as they have a love-in for Pompey.

If it’s Shrewsbury we must have to be on the Thursday/Sunday matches.
Please don't stop by the way.
Win tonight and we will all be more positive.
