Pleased Cambridge went up on Sunday, best team on the day and better team overall. Unfortunately for Gateshead, the referee couldn't help them this time (although he tried).

Looking forward to welcoming the 13 Heed fans back to Blundell Park next season.

What an absolute fuck up, QPR have just been gifted Premier League football next season.

George Thorne looked about the only player on the pitch who looked good.

Does FFP affect non-European qualifying PL teams in any way? Apparently QPR are going to be fined upto £50m by the Football League

Rumours that after getting QPR promoted Harry Redknapp will get a £1m bonus, which after tax will equate to £1m.

The Football League can fine QPR, but it can't be enforced. The Premier League has also washed its hands of the issue. Absolute nightmare. Half the division complies with FFP, most of the rest try to comply with it but can't for perfectly honest reasons, and then there are one or two clubs who openly break the rules and QPR have managed to go on and get promoted by doing just that, which will lead to many other clubs trying the same thing because if they go up the FL can't touch them - which then makes it very hard for those who do follow the rules to make any kind of headway. Live-tracking of accounts would help solve this, but clubs voted against that just this week.

A solution to this would be to, once the FFP flouters come down, enforce the fine and transfer embargo and also relegate them straight to League Two. It'd also make the Premier League think twice about not co-operating with FFP enforcement (which is the biggest problem, as it doesn't have its own rules in place in line with the Football League).

Poor game.

Just hope Leyton Orient/Rotherham and Burton/Fleetwood are much better.

2-2, Revell with a Golazo and his second of the game. Remember him at Southend and he was shite.

Hoping Burton can win promotion against Fleetwood tomorrow, shame Derby didn't yesterday or all three of my local clubs could have gone up (along with Leicester)
