Sweepstake - game we will go up!

[Dr Who?]

This is just a little fun, and I am not saying that we are 100% going to go up.

 

But which game if you were to guess do you think will see us get mathematically promoted!

 

I am going to go with Posh away.

[SaintBobby]

Boro away

[rich saints]

boro away

[Avenue Saint]

Game 45. Boro away!

[jasoneuelllfanclub]

Love it to be pompey game and send them down at same time

[Dr Who?]

Love it to be pompey game and send them down at same time

 

Is that even possible?

[DG]

Friday 6th - when they chicken out and go bust, handing us a load of points over West Ham.

[Jack]

Wrap up promotion away at Boro, with a mad weekend on the ****, then win the title at our promotion party against Cov

[kwsaint]

Coventry. Will all go down to the wire is my prediciton.

[saint_coxy]

Reading at home

[krissyboy31]

Dare I say, playoff final?

[Dr Who?]

Dare I say, playoff final?

 

Say what you like, but of course it will not matter if we go up!

[itchen_dan]

Coventry. Gonna be a nervous final day for the first time in a few years!

[pingwing]

Coventry, Reading and West Ham are just a little too close for it not to go down to the last day

[John Boy Saint]

Coventry, Reading and West Ham are just a little too close for it not to go down to the last day

Cripes we will be gibbering wrecks by then!!!!!!

 

[SNSUN]

Final Day against Coventry. Our superior goal difference will see us win the league from West Ham. Reading will have given us a Huddersfield-esque fight to the finish though. Besides the key players like Rickie and Adam, we find a hero in Richard Chaplow, who hits a run of goalscoring form from midfield that Frank Lampard would be proud of. Jason Puncheon also atones for his sins with a brace against Portsmouth. Leeds shock everyone and win the play-offs. Rickie wins the Championship Golden Boot, and we have to turn down an offer of £5 million from QPR in the summer.

[Saint_Jonny]

If it goes down to the last game I'll make the trip, but I'll be selfish and say boro' away because I'm definitely going to that!

[Lighthouse]

I'm going to say we will have the same scenario as last year. The result at Boro will leave us 2nd, 3 points above West Ham in 3rd with 12 points better GD. Technically we would not yet be promoted as we would have to avoid a 13 goal turn around with a 7-0 home defeat against Coventry on the last day.

 

Maybe...

[AussieDog]

In my dreams... Portsmouth....in my hopes Reading (my last game before coming back to Aus)...but in my heart it's going to be a 1-1 draw at Peterboro with No 7 scoring our goal. Same as in our previous 2 promotions to the Premier League. Sir Rickie can join the elite group of Tony Funnell and Tery Paine in scoring the goal that seals are return to the top league

 

PS...If anyone can get me 2 tickets to the Peterboro game, it's actually 2 days before I fly back and I'd happily re-arrange my schedule to fit the game in

[saint_jas]

Boro away I hope as I will be going to that.

[Jimmy Gabriel's Halo]

Last day - down to the wire I'm afraid. It's 2 from 3.

[maxi_sopez]

hopefully boro away as want to go to that!

[Iowsaintsfan]

Any game but Coventry IM NOT HERE!!!!! :(

[saintscottofthenortham]

I hope it's Boro away. Plymuff last year was superb and would just love to be rewarded for the mega trip to Boro' with promotion and it will give me an excuse for an almighty beer fest all the way home.

[saints triumph]

Wrap up promotion away at Boro, with a mad weekend on the ****, then win the title at our promotion party against Cov

I'll second that

[Colinjb]

Sorry, I think we'll finish third.

[del boy]

Why did you have to do this

[Whitey Grandad]

Why did you have to do this

 

My thoughts too. Bit previous aren't we?

[mulletsaint]

I did the BBC predictor, not the most reliable of guides unless you're some sort of stats genius (I'm not) I'm aware. I have managed to end up with a final table with the following top three:

 

1 Saints P46 GD40 PTS91

2 West Ham P46 GD31 PTS91

3 Reading P46 GD28 PTS91

 

Now I'm obviously hoping that we finish top, but I've got to say I hope it doesn't end up that close! It would have to go down as the best Championship season ever to finish like that. I imagine a few more points will be dropped along the way by each team. I also think Leeds and Brighton will have a big say on what happens up top. Luckily we don't have to play either again, unlike both Reading and WH.

If that's the situation, I'm going to **** my pants, then change them, then **** in those pants too. I sincerely hope it doesn't end up that close - it would be lovely to get an advantage before the last game of the season, but unless West Ham or Reading tail off somehow, I can see it being that close too.

[Micky]

I think it's all a bit previous for this to be honest - still 10 games to go, 30 points to battle for - it could all go to plan, or it could all go horribly wrong. During our premiership years and all the relegation battles that we had, I never used to worry until the last 6 games of the season, and that's exactly how I see it in this scenario as well. That's the crunch time, that's when you have to hold your nerve, and that's possibly when this thread will be more relevant.

 

I know the OP started it as a bit of fun - but it kind of makes us easy targets if the wheels fall off and we find ourselves here next year. Hopefully that wont happen, but I think I'll pass on this one until we get into the last 6 - and even then I'll probably be non-committed.

[AussieDog]

It's just a bit of fun and I'm sure we have all been dreaming about this sort of scenario for the past 8 years. One day I think we're going to win the league and the next I think we're destined for the playoffs. Enjoy the ride!

[Dr Who?]

Anyone fancy changing their prediction?

 

Still going for Posh, but think it might be beating Reading.

[S-Clarke]

I reckon it'll be similar to last season.

 

We'll be 'promoted on GD'' after the posh game, but then we'll need a point from the final 2 to make absoloutley sure.

[Dr Who?]

So taking a look at this most could be right with Middlesbough away, but I was so close with my brave prediction of Tuesday, just needed to hold on against the skates.
