Great stuff OP. At the time I read this I had no access to bookmaker accounts. But you put some sound reasoning up for the bet. It's a shame a couple of the forum good guys like us couldn't wet our beaks on this bet.
 but it sounds like a few of the other guys followed you in and they must be feeling Ok about life right now lol Well done mate! |

Thanks WP. I will be giving jamee some stick if they win ! Plenty to do yet but they pass the ball better than Oldham. Football a lot more than that of course but it helps. Could be another very close game.

Gave both clubs 17500 tickets to begin with. Now increased to 21000. Southend fc has stated that they could sell 35000. Whoever is in charge hasn't got a clue.

@ Howard. Sorry you guys didnt make the final. Seems a bit of a travesty to get 96 points and not go up.
Southend (and no doubt Oldham) fans are in shock at the reduced ticket allocation. You don't get many chances to go to Wembley. Southend have plenty of supporters outside Essex who may have gone to many away games but as of now have not been able to get Wembley tickets. Some peeps made travel arrangements (including from USA, Australia and New Zealand) the Thursday after we beat FGR only to find the ticket restrictions put in place on the Friday |

Don't feel too bad about it devils. We got up to national league after finishing 5th. Just a pity against Oldham we played a centre forward on the left wing and a winger at full back and moving the guy that had been a revelation at full back to his former centre back position. Blame the manager for not getting the depth required yet paying 350k for a striker Josh Stones that quite rightly rarely left the bench since buying him. Bit annoyed for Pearce though. Most of his goals were clever finishes we put next to nowt on a plate for him. He would have scored 40+ at Barnet

great watch but wouldn't have been if I had needed Southend for any BIG profit. Norwood finish total class. As a ycfc fan glad to see the back of much improved Oldham ( and their fans
 ) for me and probably the bookies they would have been favs for the title next term. Now it's York v Carlisle ( where I live near ) the big northern clash. |

By:
carlisle is miles away...

away games at burnton park in 70,s for boro were pretty tasty affairs in the stands you used to park in a field behind the ground with cows in the adjoining field, remember there was a wall in one end you had to jump over to get away if it all got to tasty and pay back in
|

By:
aye,carlisle, sure they still play same ground
back then banana skins were still been thrown mental |

Just seen the video online of the Oldham manager giving his winners medal to the owner, great story.

from BORO as a kid,13/14/15 in early 70,s , we used to go to a sort of outward bound centre in some auld army barracks in hexam, base for a football tour for school team we played 3 games in geordieland .but for those interested they ran a mini bus to carlise one night for boro game and another yr they ran a trip to st james park on the sat to watch n,castle v man utd,we were in gallowgate over 50,000 there got that crowded they let kids like us watch it from the cinder track on side of pith,great days
