I usually have a small bet on the 3 teams going up.

My knowledge of the English game isn't as great as some on here so, what do you think?

League 2 - Shrewsbury v Bury, Gillingham v Rochdale
League 1 - Leeds v Millwall, MK Dons v Scunthorpe
Championship - Sheff U v Preston, Reading v Burnley

I've looked at recent form, past meetings etc. I'm leaning towards Bury, MK Dons to beat Leeds in the final and I'm not sure about the Championship. I don't think Reading will make it, Preston v Sheffield United will be a close match, anyone can win, it will be a close final as well.

What is your opinion?

I've went with Bury, MK Dons and Burnley.

I've bet 3x £3 doubles and a £3 treble = £12

If 2 win, I'm guarenteed a return of between £36.75 and £42.
If 3 win, I'm guarenteed £255.75 Very Happy

Let's see what happens.

League 2 - Bury v Rochdale - Rochdale to end the long wait
League 1 - Leeds v MK Dons - MK Dons - Millwall/Leeds threatens to be "tasty"
Championship - Sheff U v Burnley: Burnley (on penalties) - although you have to respect Preston's chances as well.

Bury, Leeds and Burnley.

As long as MK Dons don't go up I'll be happy anyway!

Good start for Bury on Thursday night, a 1-0 win away from home.
MK Dons got a good result tonight as well, a 1-1 draw with an away goal, I take it away goals count in the Play Off's?

Last time we were involved (2006), away goals didn't count double. Might have changed by now though for all I know?

No they dont count.
Didnt count when we went up to the prem in 2006/2007 or though looking back the way we performed in the prem I wish they had

Yeah just seen the ticket prices so with 2 boys to take gonna be an expensive day but one they won't forget although the only time i've been to the new Wembley was the disaster against Croatia when we lost 3-2 so i'm hoping for a better result.

Shame about Bury, I watched the second leg and don't know how they've not qualified, definitely the better team (in my opinion).

Burnley eased past Reading, Reading were arguably the best team out of the 4 but I didn't think they could get past Burnley for some reason, the first thing I said in my first post was I don't think Reading will make it.

Hopefully MK Dons make it to Wembley so we still have a chance of a return.

Well at least my 3 predictions made the finals.
Very Happy
