    If it is to be the play offs for us, then we would most likely end 2nd in the league, as I doubt Grimsby will catch us as they are 5 points behind us now.

    Here are the important dates for you to know for all play off games.

    1st leg dates:
    5th v 2nd on Wednesday 29th April at 7.45pm
    4th v 3rd on Thursday 30th April 7:45pm

    2nd leg dates:
    2nd v 5th on Sunday 3rd May at 1:00pm
    3rd v 4th on Sunday 3rd May at 4.00pm

    FINAL:
    Sunday 17th May at Wembley Stadium - 2:00pm

    All 5 games will be LIVE on BT Sport.

    Finishing 2nd or 3rd means will be away in the 1st leg and home in the 2nd leg. Both 2nd leg games fall on the same day. However, City are at home that day as well in their final game of the season - kick off 12:15. I do not believe the police will allow both Bristol sides to play the same time. Citys game cannot be moved as all games in their league must kick off the same time. So our game will be moved, if the police wants a game moved. So be prepared for our game to be moved, maybe to the 4th May - bank holiday!

    What is annoying though is that there is a 2 week wait from when the 2nd leg ends to when the final starts! Match fitness/sharpness could be an issue! Well its only annoying to me if it actually effects us as we may end top of the league :) or even fail in the play off legs! <yikes>

    I suppose you will want me to stay away from those games if I am wrong and we go up through the playoffs

    If we win both last games and still end up in the play offs, then you staying away is working as we keep winning. So yes, stay away in the play offs too, especially wembley :)
    But if we lose a game and obviously end up in the play ofss, then you are free to come back as we lost a game so the jinx over you would have been gone <ok>
