Haha...****! Looking forward to the last game of the season against the red birds, could be very tasty indeed. Haha Nice one DMD.
Anyone think that that the last match could just be a massive party? Joint promotion celebrations anyone?
Well we won down at Ninian a couple of years ago to stay up, so i think it's our turn to be hospitable. How many times will "we all hate Leeds" be sung?

I'm getting excited just thinking about it. I'd much rather go up with Hull than Palace (horrible fans), borough (ex-prem plastics) or Leicester (£££ to the top).
You do know ForverBlue, if we need something from the last match of the season to go up automatically, we'll see another Welsh rearguard action to rival Rourke's Drift.
I hope so, there were only 10 Welshmen at Rourkes drift. Or Rorke's Drift for that matter. T'was an English Regiment.
I'm hoping we'll be done and dusted by then. So it's all down to you lot to try and salvage something (N.B I think it's Rorke's Drift. History student and all that).
Only in the film. (looks like I was four out) "Welshmen at Rorke's Drift Once again, the film 'Zulu' makes a point of suggesting that the 24th Regiment, and in particular 'B' Company, was mainly Welsh. In fact, the Welsh constituted only 11% of the 24th. Regt. at Rorke's Drift. Although the regiment was then based in Brecon in South Wales and called the 24th. Regiment of Foot (later to be the South Wales Borderers), it was formerly the Warwickshire Regiment. Many of the defenders had never been to Brecon. Of the 24th Regt. at the defence, the numbers (Source: 'The Noble 24th. by Norman Holme), 49 were English, 18 Monmouthshire,16 Irish, 1 Scottish, 14 Welsh and 21 of unknown nationality." http://www.rorkesdriftvc.com/myths/myths.htm
I guess the 'unknown' bit fits the welsh too. To err is human, to forgive is ovine. Being me, I just checked and Monmouthshire wasn't Welsh until the 1970's, but I'll bet the locals would never accept that. That being the case, do you have any idea why they're listed seperately on that link?
I've lived in Monmouthshire (Chepstow) for 15 years and I'm as Welsh as they come Anyway, it's somewhat simplistic to say 'Monmouthshire wasn't Welsh until the '70's' as it's been a gradual process over centuries. Some argue it's been Welsh since the 16th century, and some argue it's still English confusingly. All based on random legislation and various titles the county has held over they years. Newport for example only became 'officially' Welsh in 2002. All very odd.
