25th May is close enough for a birthday treat for me. Now I'm well and truly torn. Do I want the safety of automatic promotion or the thrill and danger of the play-offs? :?

This thread is useless.
We won't need the play-offs.

There is no choice here - losing in the play offs is like being kicked in the balls, only that familiar sickening feeling lasts for 12 months (well a long time anyway!)

Grown men shedding a tear after we lose yet another play off final, is not something I wish to see repeated. :wink:

Does "The Goat Was Fed" constitute a "Grown Man"? Or merely a growing lad?

Royal Lady phew - I was getting worried it would be the Saturday and my visit to the Here and Now Tour at Wembley Arena would be in jeopardy.

May 10th is our wedding anniversary. :roll:

I presume the :roll: is for getting married during the fooball season?

Can you see us beating Swansea, Bristol, Cardiff, or Preston in a big one off game? I'm not sure I can.

Automatics are of course preferable, because there is less worry involved. BUT winning the play offs would be an amazing day out and feeling. Probably better than the feeling of winning the league. The relief and nerves would make it so much sweeter.

Yeah priceless. Plus you get all those tacky stalls from Blackbush coming over to Broad Street trying to flog their 'kiss me quick' hats and 'we are going up' flags and scarves. :lol:

Shares in Fun 'n' Frolics will hit the roof in the week commencing May 4th methinks, facepaint in Reading will be like gold dust.

To be honest, I wouldn't back Reading to beat 99th Reading Cub Scouts in a big one off game.

When we booked the wedding, we didn't think we'd be in the play-offs, so we were away to Wolves that day and had to have a bloody big screen viewing of the game.

Excellent, here`s someone else who wants to finish seventh, I was a bit shy about coming forward.
