Would definitely prefer Stevenage to be in the final.

But I want whoever wins tomorrow out of Bolton and Bradford to get promoted, at least those two play football.

Took me a while to find this game because Scottish matches and the Man City match are also on Sky tonight.

Stockport v Stevenage is on Sky Sports Mix.

Stockport 1-0 up early on, 2-0 on aggregate.

Very tough for Stevenage now.

If Stockport don't go up I personally think that lad that injured Salech (Brad Hills) at the age of 22 ( only just) would be a good signing at CB, wouldn't mind him at City.
I know he picked up c ligament injury, but from what I've seen he's decent and their fans really like him which says a lot.

Bradford and Bolton play their 2nd leg at Valley Parade at 8pm.

Bolton are 1-0 up from the first leg.

I hope whoever wins tonight gets promoted.

Gutted for Bradford, but Bolton are also a big club.

The football was awful and very low standard like it was all last season.

Re: Bradford v Bolton 2nd leg " EFL Play-Offs thread "

The Bradford fans stayed behind in their thousands to applaud their team despite losing.

Love that.

LEAGUE 1 PLAY OFF FINAL SUNDAY.

Tue May 19, 2026 5:40 pm

1pm kick off sunday

Bolton v stockport

Bolton fans are going to be triple that of stockport.
Bolton 35,000
Stockport 10,000

They are going to be the 12th man for Bolton.
Personally I tipped Bolton to go up at the start of the season and I hope they make it, after meeting a few of there fans in cardiff when we played them, they seemed very fair about us.

Hull v Boro has just started, who are we all wanting to win? I think I would like Boro to win this one for no particular reason but I think Hull will ultimately prevail.

Of all the scummy ‘Jack B’ people to get the winner; but for me, there was a poetic justice in Hull City’s win today and I wish them well in the Premier League next season!

Congratulations to Hull City and (hopefully) ‘lesson learned’ for the Saints and others! :ayatollah:

I agree, it was a crap game, but a blind smack it as hard as you can across the 6-yard box negated all of Boro's possession. This is the championship, its a brutal reminder of what we missed for the last 12 months

Another classic no two seasons the same? Not for 1st time a team that barely stayed in championship go on following season to be promoted ...last season stayed up on goal difference new manager and hey presto success...

I did a bit of research this morning for my fiver bet, and my overall impression was they stopped tossing around with possession and pretty triangles this season with the new manager and played a high-energy, direct pressing game with wingers crossing the ball.
I think this is the way in the championship.......

Re: Hull promoted to Premier League " EFL Play-Offs thread "

Very poor game, so poor that I ended up having it on in the background rather than watch it.

Well done Hull & good luck next season, I think you'll need lots of it.

2 TEAMS LEFT TO JOIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP 2026/27

Sat May 23, 2026 5:48 pm

Congratulations to the tigers Hull City on winning promotion to the Premier League for next season.
Which leave only 2.

Will we witness history and be in the league with the biggest story in EFL history if Tottenham were to go down?
Will we see a return to the Championship after 7 seasons for Bolton Wanderers?

All will happen tomorrow as the big day comes around. But it will be nail biting for Spurs who won 2 home games all season with West Ham winning 5 home games. West Ham HAVE TO Beat Leeds & Spurs Lose To Everton for the shocking relegation in Premier League AND EFL history to happen. Spurs only need 1 point.
