    Don't want it to happen, but just got a feeling it'll be Salford. Out of the teams available I think I want Bradford to go up because that support really should be playing at a higher level.

    Well done Stockport, wish the producer had focused on Roy Keane's pus at the end after having to see his smug look throughout the match

    Well done Sky , 2 mins from the end of 2nd half of extra time & the screen goes blankety blank :angryfire

    Bradford GK has had a shocker committing himself to early for Carlisle's 3rd & potential winner , scored by on loan Stockport player .

    Well done to Stockport. Only a few years ago they were in the National League North, didn't they have to go part time for a while? Now they're a game away from League One which is the division I see as their natural level. Great story and as far as I'm aware it's not been done with a sugar daddy either.

    Oh it definitely is. Google Mark Stott.

    Not that it isn't a good story. No way Stockport should have been rotting in regional football with a part time team. Stott is a local lad done good and he's building the club back up- spending a lot of money on off field stuff as well as funding a good side.

    Well what a load of shit that was. Hughes taking Banks off for Platt will hurt for a long long time. What a ridiculous substitution.

    Not too sure if there's any Carlisle or Stockport fans who frequent this site but if so , good luck for today .

    Slight preference for Stockport as South Manchester is far closer than Cumbria for Posh fans on an away day next season though after watching play off semi's Carlisle look the better footballing team , it'll be a tight one though .

    Looks about that , probably a few more from Cumbria though they do have a London Supporters Club with 6-800 members if I remember correctly .

    Imagine how empty it'd look if Salford had gotten through .

    Not really got started yet , still lacking quality .

    At least Carlisle have to go for it now , not worth getting to a play off final & not , the lad Gordon on their left hand side who had decent chance towards the end of half looks their best chance .

    Has had a mixed game.

    Saved a goal at the other end with a good tackle .
