Carlisle v Exeter

They met today with Carlisle winning, first leg is at Carlisle with a lovely 6.30 kick off with the traveling City fans getting home around 4am.
Carlisle have had an interesting season threatened to walk away with the division but sold Wyke to Bradford and had an awful run of form which corresponded with behind the scenes issues, winning on the last day got them a last gasp chance of going up.
Exeter up to December had a dire home record, away from St James's Park they were red hot, no real stars but excellent manager Paul Tisdale should get them a trip to Wembley

Blackpool v Luton

Whisper it quietly the Lashers have done reasonably well this season under Happy Gary Bowyer, off the pitch however the war between the Owners and the fans go on, another demo today. Odd one for the fans do they want them to go up and how many will actually go to the home leg
Luton slowly moving up the league, with Nathan Jones leading them to their highest position in years. Tend to rely on Danny Hylton for goals, also Kenilworth Road is a difficult place to go right ground which hasn't changed since the 14th century when it was re arranged by those cheerful chappies from the Dem.
Luton just to go through and win at Wembley

Don't like Blackpool. Don't like Luton. Don't mind Carlisle. Quite like Exeter.

I think Luton will win it though.

Always had a soft spot for Exeter great pasties down there

Now that's how you do playoffs when the only prize is a bog standard promotion and not the massive amount of money on offer in the Championship version!!!

Amazing Exeter win tie 3-2 with a 95th minute goal whilst Blackpool win it in the 94 th 3-3 Astonishing

Didn't watch any of these 4 games, but what a great advert for League 2 and for football in general!!!

And Carlisle fans won't get home until 6am which is even funnier

Blackpool v Exeter City

Interesting match up could go either way, Pool I think have probably the more experience but the Grecian are a youthful talented lot. In a way probably lean towards the team from Bloomfield although if they went up it wouldn't half piss some of their fans off. Believe they have only sold 5000 tickets for it

1 all half time Potts early goal for Pool and Qheelwr close on Half time for Exeter both classy goals, Lashers have lost Aldred injured a big blow, look good on the break early on however City on top and I think that is the way of the second half
