Another subject on final days of the season 14:37 - May 1 with 621 viewsgainsboroughblue

How often have we 'messed up' another teams hopes?

Bradford away 87-88 is the only one I can recall at present when we beat them 3-2 and Boro snatched 2nd place.

Brighton were relegated in 91-92 when we did our promotion procession but I think they were as good as down anyway.

Not quite the last game, but beating Cardiff in Keane's first match in charge wrecked their play-off bid.

And, equally now what you asked, I remember Palace doing a lap of honour after beating us at Selhurst Park in 1993 thinking they were sure to stay up. I laughed a lot when they went down the week after.

Promotion season - 99/00. Pretty sure we beat Walsall at home which sent them down. I remember in the pub after and they were really friendly, wishing us well for the play offs.

I think Huddersfield had an outside chance of staying up if they beat us on the final day of 23/24

Also rather besmirched their final game at the old Ninian Park.

I only just managed to get into that game, the security were suspicious I was a home fan trying to get in the away end. Living in the West and having no proof of being a Town fan.

Good Lord! Whatever is it?

1995/96, Millwall were relegated. Unfortunately, we missed the playoffs too so no one was happy.

Cardiff still fully expected to get in the playoffs after that, so it definitely didn’t feel like a season-wrecker. It was only because they lost their last match and Preston won theirs 6-0 that Preston got past them on goals scored.

Penultimate day of the season but I'll never forget effectively sending Leeds down at Elland Road in 2007 and the extraordinary end to that match ... not many Town fans left in there after the pitch invasion, which was only cleared when they announced the match would restart with one last Leeds corner (when the previous action had been a header put over by one of their players). The tension around those remaining few seconds was unbelievable. Tbf we did celebrate their demise very hard.

I was just about the post the same. It was extraordinary. At the time I felt like the Leeds fans anger towards us was OTT and 'very Leeds', but you're right we did celebrate quite a lot....

not quite the same (as leeds were safe in the playoffs), but us beating bielsa's leeds on the final day as we got relegated was a bizarre result!

Kemar Roofe's penalty was one for the ages. Did it make the top tier of Churchman's or just below?

I was thinking we relegated Leeds one season didn't we? Or am I getting muddled up?

I am sure we have sent teams down on a few occasions but can't recall so many where we have stopped them going up or getting into the play offs.

I recall watching us at Notts County the final game in the early 90s and they cantered to a 3-0 win to confirm their place in the play offs. We were very much on the beach that day. Let's hope for QPR to be more like that for us tomorrow.
