cambridgeshire canary 6,704 Posted May 30, 2021 The playoff final, 3PM kickoff live on Sky Sports main event. Who are we wanting to see get promoted to the Championship? Much as it's good to see Blackpool dong well without convicted sex offender Owen Oyston in charge would be great to see Lincoln get promoted to the 2nd tier for the very first time, and given they played in the national league just 4 years ago their journey has been nothing short of amazing to watch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary73 159 Posted May 30, 2021 I'd like to see Lincoln City do it. Will be tough for them as Blackpool are in very good form. Whichever team goes up means there will be some good derbies in the Championship. For Blackpool, there is PNE, Blackburn and for Lincoln there is Peterborough, Derby, Forest and stretching it further Stoke, Brum. We be good to see both grounds full for those games.

Chip20 69 Posted May 30, 2021 Lincoln for me. My second team for a number of reasons and a lovely city with the most beautiful cathedral. My head says Blackpool will win quite comfortably, but my heart hopes the stars align for The Imps this afternoon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Angry 1,554 Posted May 30, 2021 I was coming back from the league away match at Burnley last season. The train stopped at Accrington and hundreds of Blackpool fans, most of whom had clearly been drinking and who still had lots of cans and bottles on them, attempted to board the already packed train. There was a delay of about 30 minutes while they all tried to cram themselves in, with railway staff making no attempt to relieve the chaos. We eventually got going but then stopped for another 20 minutes on the approach to the next station-I think it was Blackburn? I changed trains at Preston, leaving the singing, cheering, drunken mob to carry on to the seaside. They were a passionate bunch-they only drew, I’m not sure how much more celebrating they would have done if they had won-but for their part in my journey being delayed for almost an hour, I hope Lincoln smash them 🤣 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
birchfest 397 Posted May 30, 2021 Lincoln, was my university city and we have a few links with them with former players etc.. Its funny because part of me wants to see Blackpool do well now that they don't have those disgusting owners, and be able to get a bit of money back into the club. But Lincoln, I was there the day they were relegated out of the football league funnily enough so that would be quite the story, its also a fine city and a funnily little ground, they could do with the money too!

Icecream Snow 761 Posted May 30, 2021 Could be a good game. Both teams play good football, and it's great to see two young British managers doing well, Neil Critchley was Liverpool U-23s coach and Michael Appleton has been around the block a bit, but was well thought of at one point.

Drazen Muzinic 1,445 Posted May 30, 2021 This might be a decent watch. I presume the Binners aren't in the final because they went up as Champions with 100+ points like it said on TWTD in August🤔 They don't need to mix with 'the likes of' Lincoln...😇 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,218 Posted May 30, 2021 Wonder if that could bring in VAR for things like the playoff finals given they are at Wembley. Definitely some dodgy decisions against Lincoln. Brennan Johnson does look like a decent prospect on loan from Forest, reminds me a bit of PP, plenty of potential there but needs to be honed and matured Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
