Mad Cyril Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Really jolly looking forward to Saturday and as many posters have said, the chance to tie up a very rare title by beating Coventry. However, I have a real phobia that Preston blow it tonight which would hand us the title by default. Even a draw basically means we have won it (would need us to lose all three remaining games while Preston win theirs and turn around a 15 goal goal difference) So anything less than a win for Preston dampens the excitement of tomorrow and the chance to win it with the players and celebrate it with the fans. Most of us have a fondness for Preston too so would want them to secure auto promotion....as God forbid if Swindon crept in there. So come on Preston, good luck tonight and let us have our party at the Gate tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we extend this to Preston winning their next 3 games 1-0, us drawing v Coventry and Chesterfield, and thus going into Walsall 3 points clear and an advantage of +12 on goal difference?

Kibs Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Not me, no certainty that we will win tomorrow (you only have to look at the Gillingham/Barnsley games) so.come on Vale!!!

Robin1988 Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Preston draw would go down very nicely. Keeps it in our hands, and there's no way I can see us losing to Coventry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fat Controller Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Preston draw or loss tonight would be great. Couldn't care less if we win the title whilst not playing - it's been earned over the course of the season and the sooner we wrap it up the better as far as I'm concerned.

Once we have the Title I'll happily cheer on Preston to 2nd place. Completely agree. Everyone seems to be assuming we will just turn up and take the 3 points home tomorrow. Coventry won't agree! I hope Preston lose tonight and then finish 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have won it by being consistently the best team in this league. We have been beaten only five times and have sat proudly at the top of the league table for all but two or three weeks. We are going up as champions and it doesn't make one little bit of difference when! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelRobartes Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I'm happy whatever happens. I'd like Preston to come up with us and it'd be nice to get over the line ourselves tomorrow but it's all the same to me. In reality it's such a great position to be in that I'm just enjoying it for what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One BCFC Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Definitely want Vale to win tonight. No guarantee that we will win tomorrow and it will be a carnival atmosphere from the start tomorrow. Also couldnt get a ticket for Walsall game. Not impressed by that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manon Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 **** all this hanging it out malarky. I want preston to lose, I want us to win every game. I want 101 points, I want a ten point gap over second. I want this to be the best season EVER. Ashton Gate will be rocking whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsontour Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 A draw tonight is perfect, as it means we are not mathematically guaranteed to be Champs unless we beat Covee, so we can all be comfortable and enjoy the game itself knowing that if we do win, we are the Kings of the league and, if we don't win, we would need a collapse so spectacular as to be almost impossible.... You know...something like being in the relegation zone for just, oh, i dunno, 20 minutes of a whole season, and yet end up falling out of the league....I mean that is just to ridiculous to contemplate...isn't it?

Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Not sure if im falling into a 'whoooosh' trap here and I've got a lot of respect for PNE and their fans however, be careful what you wish for. I don't care how we win the title but the sooner the better as far as I'm concerned and ill be rooting for Preston to smash Swindon when they play at Deepdale.

PHILINFRANCE Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Oh no it does not dampen or diminish our accession to the title. We have won it (not yet) by being consistently the best team in this league. We have been beaten only five times and have sat proudly at the top of the league table for all but two or three weeks. We are going up as champions (hopefully) and it doesn't make one little bit of difference when! Realistically, we should win tomorrow and be crowned Champions, although I maintain that, should Preston draw this evening we would need at least the same result tomorrow, and this would only add to what will already be a most enthusiastic and exhuberant atmosphere. And then, with our young team, onward to better things. Ex Spinis Uvas Now with universal joy, Having performed games and tasks, Let us together celebrate Our beloved team attentively. Now for more than a hundred years It has deserved praise, It will continue to endure and deserve, Whilst it serves our city. Let it be more famous, let it be more worthy,However many months slip by: Let this be our first right, We are Bristolians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally prefer the Latin version we had to sing on the last day of term: Nunc universo gaudio,Ludo pensisque functi,Scholam dilectam seduloConcelebremus cuncti.Iam quadrigentos ampliusAnnos laudem meretur,Merendo et durabimus,Dum nostra urbs servetur. Refrain: Sit clarior, sit dignior,quotquot labuntur menses:Sit primus nobis hic decor,Sumus Bristolienses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screech Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I hope Port Vale win too. Any scenario is available for us to win the championship. What if Preston win, we draw and then go and win it at Chesterfield, how does everybody feel about that? If it happens tonight it would be just as fantastic.

semblar Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 P.B. is right... Preston drawing tonight closes the gap to 9 points. We draw tomorrow and the gap is back up to 10 when preston has 3 left to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
