The club was in such a mess I felt apathetic when going down to League 2. This was like watching a once in a generation prize go to someone else on a penalty kick.
Really would be statue time for Robins if that turns out to be trueOnce in a generation? Give over. Well be back within the next three years max.
I don’t think it’s £7m extra, it’s what we would have got anyway for being in the Championship. The table is trying, badly, to show difference between being promoted by the playoff and losing.Once in a generation? Give over. Well be back within the next three years max.
BSB is Biamou?Once in a generation? Give over. Well be back within the next three years max.
Dontbthink that’s anything to do with playoffs. That’s just what Championship clubs get.
All EFL clubs get solidarity payments which are a share of the PL broadcasting rights.The central distribution is, the solidarity payments are for the losing side.
So we’ll revive around £7M?
I would rather we came 7th
Yeah, not just us, solidarity payments for all Champ clubs.... it was just a comparison of staying in the Championship vs going up to the Prem, using P/O finalists as compared recipientsSo we’ll revive around £7M?
Getting £7m a year for the next 3 seasons is a huge boost to the coffers.
Great read and pretty much spot on, I think we all know the vik and hamer situation, if we could manage to keep hamer and get some decent money for vik then i think we could put a decent side together, hope robins finally gets some money to spend this summer, he’s worked miracles so far on hardly any budget, dont expect king to throw loads of money at it but it’s time to find out if he’s serious or not, personally think we won’t be far off again next season,Well folks it wasn't to be in the end. To be critical for a moment. We did not get going first half and Luton dominated. They were well deserving of their lead. The box midfield we employed so well at Middlesbrough failed to work well at Wembley against different style of opposition. The change at half time clearly changed the game and we were the dominant team, scoring a very good equaliser. Luton were on the rack at that point but somehow we failed to capitalise on it. They eventually got back into it and both teams played out a non discript extra time where neither team threw any punches. And so the penalty lottery. Great pens from both sides. When Dabo stepped up I bet all of us suspected this had miss written all over it? Yes? Of course we did. He looked scared to death. My question is why didn't Panzo (who has a great left foot) or even Faz or Bidwell step up? The worst thing is the penalty was not saved but wildy missed! Casey Palmer went off who would have been a penaly taker. Must admit Wilson did get close to one or two. Their goalie could hardly move, someone should have said hit it low in either corner. But alas it just wasn't our day this time.
Next season we will be without hamer and Vik for sure. But we will see the re-emergence of O'Hare and some shrewd signings will see us challenge next season for the automatic places. Once the disappointment settles the reality of what we achieved this season will inspire the cause next season. I'm going to look forward to it and give a wave to Luton on their immediate way down as we go up. Oh how things can quickly change. We are back folks.
Great post. Plus, most of us were rooting for us to do the unthinkable, to the unwelcome point of penalties. We had the bonus of seeing our team at Wembley and then, as you say, we move on to next season with optimism.Well folks it wasn't to be in the end. To be critical for a moment.

Don’t be a fucking pratHe has not been good enough for a while. Today he signed himself into Bedfordshire folklore and hopefully out of a future at the club
It feels shit we missed out on the biggest prize in football on penalties. But, if you believe in the process in what Robins is hoping to achieve here, it’s a bump in the road and an opportunity to kick on.Once in a generation? Give over. Well be back within the next three years max.
I think we need to cut BSB some slack. It was yesterday when he posted and we all felt so low.Don’t be a fucking prat
You mean the same slack he cut the player?I think we need to cut BSB some slack. It was yesterday when he posted and we all felt so low.
Well, not quite. I’m a bit flummoxed by the vitriol people displayed. As I say, it was yesterday. We all need to move on.You mean the same slack he cut the player?

Agreed. We all deal with our emotions in different ways. My brother was sobbing and I didn’t think he was that bothered going into the game on Saturday.
Some people want someone to blame, some people feel like it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity missed and so on. We’ll be back because I believe in Robins to rebuild this squad to get us where we need to be.
This. It was so tense and pretty horrible, and has affected my mood for weeks! The limbs away at Boro are probably the best I have been involved in though, the release of pressure and unlikely circumstances of it were incredible, followed by increased tension until we got to the final whistle and then the great scenes after.On a slightly unrelated note. Did anyone actually enjoy any of the play offs at all? Think I enjoyed about 20 seconds when hamer scored at Boro and maybe 30 mins after the boro second leg. Apart from that it was genuinely horrible. Can we go up automatically next season please???

If people can’t cope with disappointment at football matches just don’t go
If the disappointment manifests itself in toxic ways I.e. abuse of players, violence and/or anti-social behaviour. Then sure, I agree. If people get a bit upset/angry and need a vent, let them.
Yeah, it was horrible. Horrible nerves throughout. Like a last game of the season relegation decider that just goes on and on. I'm sure it's detrimental to health, and judging by the reactions of a handful of posters on here it can have a massive effect on your emotional wellbeing. I'm gutted, but some of the reactions are so extreme I feel sorry for them if they feel that way.On a slightly unrelated note. Did anyone actually enjoy any of the play offs at all?
