Any preference to who you want to go up?

For me, it has to be Notts County. A team I feel we struggle against and it would be good to get them out of this league.

I also hate playing AFC, so as strange as it is, a part of me would like them to go up so we don't have to play them. However a bigger part of me wants them to fail, especially as going up will improve their finances and staying down will continue to damage them.

I think I'd agree with you there. I also hate playing AFC and not having that as a fixture would be very helpful, but I don't want them to have any success whatsoever.

Other than that, the other 3 are pretty easy away days so I have no real preference. We've struggled against Notts County recently but it's probably one of the best away days in the league. Maybe I'd prefer Chesterfield to go up for Will Grigg?

I'm not going to be embarrassing enough to tune in solely to hate watch - they've embarrassed us continiously over the past year, both in the table and on the playing field. Whatever failing they might have in the play-offs, laughing at a loss will be another added embarrassment. I'll take joy if they fail to go up of course but it won't change much from this season.

I want Notts to go up because I feel they deserve to. Best team we've played this season and it's only a matter of time. I think the League looks drastically less dangerous with them and Bradford out of it.
I dont fear AFC or Walsall next season (Not to say they can't be competitive but I felt this was a big chance for them to go up) but Swindon, Colchester and Chesterfield* will be big hitters next season for me.
*I wouldn't mind it if they went up either for this reason

We only struggled against Notts County because we were trying to play like them.

We won't be next season, so we will dust them up.

Same goes for AFC. Once we matched them up on the physicality in January it was a much easier watch.

Who gives a shit. It isn't us. Who goes up I really couldn't give a fig about. Well done to *insert team name here*

Notts County. Actually a big club for this league in my view. Went to their NL playoff final in their end and the fans are solid.

Preference would be Notts or Chesterfield to go up.

I think AFC will struggle in League One next time. So AFC.
