Not sure, I asked the club saying ST holders getting free game would be a good thank you for our loyalty. The answer I got was the complication is how the money is divided for play-offs between the clubs. Be great if they do though.

And as an update, they won’t be offering them for free to season ticket holders.

A strange game where we got 72% of the possession, oh so many chances and yet ended up with a draw. The vast majority seem to have loved the game as much as I did though.

Thoroughly enjoyed that. One of those days where chances could have/should have made it a rout. Hard to break them down when they put all their players behind the ball. We gifted them their goal. Makes the no shows of late (that have cost us auto) even more baffling. #AVFC

I’ve not got that much to say about this, because for me, it was never in doubt. We truly are the best in the land.

This club of ours IS massive in so many ways (apart from the actual winning things in the modern era!) and if only an owner could get things right here, we could be up there with the very best in, not just domestic football, but also Europe.

After the weekend draw against Derby, fans’ attentions are now fully focused on the playoffs. Our likely opponents will be Middlesbrough barring a dramatic reversal for Boro on the final day.

With the two-legged semi-final scheduled for early next month, a potential starting eleven was suggested for the first game:

Christian Benteke has spoken out about his future at Crystal Palace. The Daily Star are reporting that we could be interested in re-signing Belgian in the summer if we are promoted back to the Premier League.

They always say that momentum is key heading into the playoffs. Despite drawing against Derby, we were clearly the better team and it is a good sign for us that we will go into the two-legged semi-final on the back of a good run.
