Sadly me and the girlfriend don't drive so we're pinned down to taking the train. Still at least it means an afternoon out on the front :)

Enjoy, although now you've said that you know it's going to chuck it down.

Unfortunately I can see us losing on penalties after a 0-0 - we have too many of these - particularly at Roots Hall which is precisely why we did not go up automatically :'(:'(:'(:'(

Hope it doesn't. I don't see us blessed with natural penalty takers...Corr is about our best, but he's only really a 60/40 penalty taker

I remember the last time we had a penalty shoot out to get to Wembley. It was at Notts county in the Anglo Italian Cup and we needed to win the shoot out to get to the Wembley final. I recall that the original game was scheduled for Tuesday night but due to fog it was put back 24 hours to the Wednesday night and my mates couldn't get another day off work so I drove up there on my own and suffered like all Blues supporters do. I recall just before the end of extra time Ricky Otto missing a simple header when it looked easier to score which would have avoided the need for penalties. The penalty that we missed was by Mr Bressington. It was such a bad miss I think the ball ended up in the River Trent. I still have recurring nightmares about that penalty. It was along journey home after that. Good job we won't need penalties on Thursday (trying to stay positive!).

Our home form has become pretty good. We were sixth in the home points table from our 23 matches, winning 12 games and losing only 3. Stevenage's home form was better though, they were 3rd in the home form table with 15 wins and but they did suffer 5 defeats.

By contrast, Stevenage's away form isn't great. They were 15th in the away points table. They won only 5 matches, drew 9 and lost 9 scoring 25 goals and conceding 31.

Looks like a 1-0 win for the Shrimpers to me......

I hope.
