it's effin' ages since we were promoted

I can't believe the play off final hasn't happened yet, the Cardiff match seems bloody yonks ago. Can you imagine if we'd blown it and our season was still ongoing?

Is the gap between end of season and play-offs always this long? I know when we went up it was the same BH weekend but did the regular season finish letter that year? It certainly seems longer this time around.

 

20 days between us losing to Ipswich and then beating Bristol City. 23 days between Cardiff game and Watford v Palace. So... pretty much. I guess the champions league final has also moved things around (although that's more likely to have made the Bradford/Northampton and Brentford/Yeovil games a week earlier rather than the championship final a week later).

 

It feels like months ago already, weekends aren't the same without football.

I don't understand why the two legs of the play offs were so close together (Friday and Monday and Saturday and Tuesday I think), before a 2 and a half week wait for the final, why not just play the two legs on the weekends and the final the following weekend? Makes more sense surely?

 

Crikey lads if you think that's bad I'm sorry to tell you that it's 84 days until Hull City next kick a ball in anger!

It's horrible.

I'm gardening this afternoon

 

i cant be doing with Cricket , im glad ive me photography hobby to tide me over

 

And in those 23 days City have been planning and negotiating knowing they are in the Prem. That gives us a slight advantage over whichever team wins in the play-off final.

 

Whichever team wins the playoff final will also have been spending this time preparing in case they win. It's hardly much of a head start, pretty much everyone's on their jollies and all that's happening is a bit of jibba jabba.

We have an advantage because we went on our jollies 3 weeks earlier, return earlier and have a longer pre season.

I'm glad I've got my knitting hobby to tide me over til the series starts again.

 

Like last time we got promoted and WBA went down the following season?

 

This is the main reason I started going to rugby, nothing to do in the summer months, and ive become as much of an FC fan as I am of city

 

It would be worse if there was no footie whatsoever over the summer, but thankfully there is the FIFA Confederations Cup on the BBC.


I know it's not much, but at least it's something!
