An added bonus to yesterday’s results was Bournemouth’s inability to beat Wrexham and the fact that Wigan won and snatched the final play off place at the Cherries expense. They join Manchester City, Gillingham and Preston North End.
Now then spiteful southern bastards remind me of what it’s like to nearly get to the party and have the invitation stolen from you at the very last minute. I bet they weren’t on the pitch taking the piss at five to five last night and if I really cared I’d call it poetic justice. Adios Bournemouthy.
The final day of the Nationwide First Division leaves Bury and Oxford making way for the Saddlers.
Bradford City follow up a year of consolidation with promotion to the Premiership (don’t even think about it!) and Ipswich have to settle for the play offs.
The end of season shake up, unfortunately, has to take place without our neighbours though. The tatters home defeat by Bradford leaves them in seventh place and ensures that we have a three strong Black Country tournament to look forward to next season as Albion , wolves and Walsall go head to head for the millennium.
Technically as the season is now over and the new season is preparing itself to start we are above West Brom and the tatters in the new table. It may only be alphabetically but we still lead.
