Esp as westham tickets did just about make it to general sale so presumably the most ardent fans would have already got their tickets anyway

100% agree with this. I would love to see Fat Sam wallowing in the Championship for another season.

Even though the trip to Upton Park will be better and easier and more enjoyable and cheaper. Blackpool for me.

Love Blackpool to win but head says 4:2 Hammers. Goal fest.

Indeed. I'm not quite getting all the support for Blackpool; they'll only go down next season. They are the almost perfect Championship team since Dobbie joined but that's all. My uncle is a West Ham fan too and will be a wreck if they lose, poor thing.

I'd love to go to Upton Park next season, too.

Fully behind the Tangerines today. Would love to see West Ham crushed in heartbreaking circumstances.

Isnt it good if Blackpool go up and come down next season? surely that would be one less place for us to fill....Just a thought

I'm not one of the many anti-West Ham types on here but from Reading's perspective our cause in surviving next season MIGHT be improved if Blackpool go up.
That view is based on the likelihood of West Ham spending more and improving their team rather than our performances against them this season.

Looking forward to the final. Play-off finals are kind of like being in a car crash or getting arrested. No fun when they happen to you but great entertainment when it happens to others.

Don't mean to get all Spacey on you but they don't. 3rd- 6th all qualify equally and the winner the 'deserves' to go up, the others don't.

The '£90 million game' is actually only £46 million this time round due to the clubs involved already scheduled to get parachute payments.

Still, £90 million sounds so much better do the media keep banging that drum!

:lol:

True. Also they have a lot of history so deserve to be in the premiership. Hope Blackpool don't cause an upset.

Blinding save from Green first up, this could have a few goals in it. Come on 'pool!

LOL at Blackpool not selling out a playoff final. That is pretty embarrassing.

Almost makes you think that West Ham deserve to go up. Almost :wink:

Commentator: "Blackpool only lost one game in the last two months, that was to Reading. West Ham have only lost one game in the last four months, and that was to Reading."

8)

Two HUGE chances for Blackpool.
