British Leagues and Cups 2009/2010

[Hugo]

Ik heb gister de gekke wedstrijd Nottingham Forest - Blackpool gevolgd en dat eindigde in 3-4. Blackpool had de thuiswedstrijd ook al gewonnen en gaat dus door.

Wanneer is de wedstrijd op Wembley van Blackpool tegen Cardiff of Leicester? Of wanneer wordt dat bekend?

Is deze wedstrijd de moeite waard, ook qua supportersgroepen en dergelijke? Wellicht wil ik deze wedstrijd gaan bezoeken..

Blackpool in de Premier League zou wel fantastisch zijn, nog vreemder dan Burnley of Hull City.

PO Final Championship op Wembley zal altijd wel de moeite waard zijn om te bezoeken. Zal ook (bijna) altijd een vol Wembley opleveren.

Datum weet ik niet, maar zal ongetwijfeld al vaststaan.

Blackpool in de PL? Ik zou het een afgang vinden, met zo'n half afgebouwd stadion.

Correctie; 3/4.

PO Final Championship op Wembley zal altijd wel de moeite waard zijn om te bezoeken. Zal ook (bijna) altijd een vol Wembley opleveren.

En daarom is het altijd lastig om kaartjes te bemachtigen voor de p/o-final naar de PL.

Datum weet ik niet, maar zal ongetwijfeld al vaststaan.

22 mei. League One en League Two zijn op resp. 29 en 30 mei.

ik zou me toch graag opofferen hoor voor een potje Blackpool - Manchester United al is het in een nog niet afgebouwd stadion

De FA Cup finale is ook te volgen via France 2. Voor eenieder die geen Sport 1 heeft. Kanaal zit bij het standaardpakkt van Ziggo.

Ligt eraan in welke regio je woont, ik kan geen France 2 ontvangen.

Wat gek, ik ging er vanuit dat er maar 1 pakket was voor het hele land.

Na Blackpool vs Cardiff City is nu ook de tweede play-off final bekend. Millwall verschalkte Huddersfield Town namelijk met 2-0 en neemt het op tegen Town uit Swindon.

De laatste keer dat Blackpool uitkwam op het hoogste niveau dateert van 1970/71 en Cardiff City moet daarvoor terug naar 1961/62. Ongeacht de uitslag is er dus met recht sprake van een nieuw infuus in de Premier League.

Ik zag onlangs op tv Aldershot vs Rotherham United en herkende geen reet van de korte zijde die toegang verschaft tot het publieke park. Vanavond verdedigen de molenjongens een 0-1 voorsprong op Don Valley in Sheffield.

Mogelijke tegenstander is dan Morecambe dat donderdag een 6-0 nederlaag goed moet zien te maken tegen zowel Dagenham als Redbridge als Leytonstone als Ilford als Walthamstow als Redbridge Forest. Belgische gruwel.

Nadat ik zaterdag Huddersfield - Millwall had gezien heb ik gister Millwall - Huddersfield zitten kijken. Vermakelijke wedstrijd en een lekker sfeertje daar. Millwall was de verdiende winnaar. Na de 2-0 vormde de politieagenten en stewards een linie voor de tribune om een pitch invasion tegen te gaan. Dat had weinig zin want na het fluitsignaal rende alsnog iedereen het veld op.

Blackpool in de PL? Ik zou het een afgang vinden, met zo'n half afgebouwd stadion.

Wen er maar aan! Ze hebben het voor elkaar gekregen!

[TeeZee]

Echt geweldig. De laatste jaren promoveren er steeds leuke clubs naar de PL. Vermoedelijk degraderen ze net zo hard weer volgend jaar, maar dat dacht ik ook van Stoke.

[Daniel]

Zou iemand mij kunnen vertellen wanneer de speelschema's van de Britse leagues bekend worden gemaakt, dit is meestal half juni toch?
