dylanisabaddog 4,914 Posted March 30, 2019 I predict promotion will be confirmed against Sheffield Wednesday on Good Friday. Wouldn't it be lovely if Ipswich got relegated on the same day😊 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,655 Posted March 30, 2019 I was doing a spot of calculating and reckoned on the Sheff Wed game being a good bet - but we shouldn’t count our chickens, the pessimist in me still thinks it may all go pear-shaped! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

glory.win or die. 270 Posted March 30, 2019 Long way to go yet but if we do go up it would be nice to clinch it in a home game. All 3 promotions I have experienced were confirmed away to Charlton away to Portsmouth and at Wembley so to do it at home would be lovely...but having said that I just want it as soon as possible to if it's the away game before I'd be happy.

sonyc 5,511 Posted March 30, 2019 I've noted the Stoke away fixture since I did those prediction leagues ever since Xmas (needing a draw to do it) but Sheff Wed home game would be even better. One game at a time though still 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted March 30, 2019 (edited) To achieve promotion at home to Weds would require us to then be 9 points clear plus better goal difference over Leeds of Sheff Utd Not sure if we will be in that position at that time However I would suggest that it could well be a case of us then having to lose all three remaining games with one of the others winning all ther remaining three. The games leading up to Weds game do suggest that we can hit 90 points by then, and after the three results today I don't see us as being the team who will drop away.

Icecream Snow 761 Posted March 30, 2019 Depends more on Sheffield United's results. Mathematically they can finish on 95 points, and that number will decrease each time they don't win. So whilst I'd expect us to have 89/90 points after the Sheffield Wednesday game, it'll probably be the Stoke game that confirms it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drazen Muzinic 1,445 Posted March 30, 2019 I remember articles running at the time we went up at Portsmouth stating we'd never clinched promotion following a home game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
York Canary 28 Posted March 31, 2019 Slightly off the original question but should we go up as Champions...anyone know if a civic reception would take place and if so, when it would likely take place? I’d naturally assume Monday 7th May however the Legend game (Wes vs Russ) is on that day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
