Wembley awaits the winners of the second leg of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy Southern Area Final between Swindon and Peterborough.
The 2-2 result from the first leg has enticed the Sky Sports 1 cameras to the County Ground (7.30pm on Monday night).
I'm hoping that the Swindon pitch will allow good free-flowing football and that both sets of players will be up for it after their Friday night exertions.
The Swindon danger-man, as far as I am concerned, is Nile Ranger.
We'll be without cup-tied Nicky Ajose. So, I'm hoping that Britt Assombalonga will re-discover his shooting boots after losing the battle against the muddy London Road pitch on Friday night.
UTP!

Baggins Red!
Thorney...this is too close to call I feel. We will be short of fire power without Ranger and I don't think home advantage will count for much. More important is the state of the pitch which would be good, I see that benefiting both sides fairly equally.
I think it will turn on who gets a break at a critical time.

Great - a decent pitch!
Hoping, above all, that both sides put on a good display to the cameras - and that Howard Webb won't be refereeing!

Bother.
Shoot-outs are a bad way to lose. Oh well - no trip to Wembley. I'll have to be content with a visit to the dingy old Matchroom on Saturday.
Congratulations TP - will you go to the final?

Thanks, George. Your team made it very difficult for us. It was a very close run thing. Pritchard, unsurprisingly from having seen him play for Posh before his move to Swindon, excelled and should have won the JPT MOM award.
I am indeed planning to go to the Final, my first visit to the new Wembley. And I hope that there is a decent turnout.

Watched pens, thought you had lost it.
Glad you went through, enjoy day out, just hope tickets not too dear.

I have said before, so sorry to be boring, but those 2 sides are so evenly matched. I am sorry that Town couldn't win it, but after my last excursion to Wembley v Chesterfield in the JPT, I will save my money & have a warm day in instead.

Thanks, TF, RG and Don.
In the doghouse again, though - 30 March is Mothering Sunday!
