Playoff Finals curse

[ZoneManWilf]

Am I being really thick here? Or just really pedantic? I can only remember us losing 4 play off finals...

Palace
Wolves
Burnley
Udders

We lost play off semis v Yeovil, Sunderland, Swindon, presumably there is an eighth one but I can't think what it is.

Bristol City 1988

If we ever approach a play off final and set up to try and win it instead of playing for penalties which we would one million percent lose anyway we might stand a chance, and it won't matter if our team comes out bollock naked

Bristol City as well in the relegation play offs

The wrong balls might get kicked.

Heard on the radio today that Blackpool are the playoff kings - they've won their last 10 playoff semi finals, and won the playoff final 6 times. Perhaps we should contest play-off matches in tangerine? (Didn't we have an orange kit a few seasons back?)

Haven't the Bees now broken this curse ?

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Unless Lincoln lose tomorrow and re-ignite the curse of course. Just saying like.

Duh-duh-durrr - the curse strikes again!!!

They played in a black kit.

They played in a black kit.

I know but their traditional colours are the same as ours. More powerful magic than that is needed to break the Curse.

That's a test match, not a playoff.
