Play-Offs

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

Halifax picked up 7 points from their last 11 league games, Oldham definitely got the better of the two options compared to Rochdale.

Morning Shrimpers! This playoff lark is stressful but not when you start like we did last night!
Good luck at Dale tonight, I’ve said for a while that if you gate crashed the playoffs you could go all the way….a Southend v Oldham final at Wembley would be epic and almost certainly break the attendance record
After what our two clubs have been through in recent years we both deserve a day like that so best of luck and hopefully see you on June 01st

I don't doubt that you want the club to do well.

I also don't doubt that a huge part of you is bursting at the seams to say "I told you so" if Maher fails, and would take great joy in doing so.

i also find that quite condscending *you saying to the doubters iyou was right and i told you so *. So people had their own thoughts on the matter so what ,i was one of them and still will say the reason we made it was because off the falling off of some other teams . So Mr Know it all ,thats my perspective .

Definitely fancy you to beat York. Finishing 23 points ahead of you (28 ahead of us), the pressure on York will be immense.

If and its a big IF both Oldham and Southend make the final ,i can see a crowd bordering on 50000 at that final maybe even more .Two well supported clubs and big clubs when it comes to NL and both have a history .

 

[londonblue]

We better make the final. It will be the only silver lining to my holiday being cancelled.

 

[Martin Lewis]

Doubt it. Only 20 miles.

Quite good considering they don't get that many at home usually

I am so proud of this club. We had no chance of getting in the non league playoffs. Mid table would have been an achievement after all thats happened this and last season. We still have a chance and anything is possible

Last time Oldham won promotion, was in 1991, as they gone up to top flight over 33 years ago!!

You're right there Murkey.

I cant believe they were in the top flight for 3 seasons!

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

You're right there Murkey.

They’ve had a lot more than 3 seasons in the top flight!

They’re former top flight runners up, League Cup runners up and three times FA Cup semifinalists.

Anyone going to do the York v Oldham semi on Tuesday?

Anyone going to do the York v Oldham semi on Tuesday?

Even if Southend get to the final I'll struggle to get a semi at my age.

 

[RHB]

Me too, I meant on TV.
