As with all the play off semi-finals this season, the finales have been frantic and have shown what a great idea these deciders are for the fans. Firstly QPR, then the Os and tonight Rotherham, all came through to win a place at Wembley after tense final minutes. This evening there were 6 minutes of added time, but the Millers kept their two goal lead in tact and thankfully Steve Evans found refuge in the tunnel as the final whistle went; preventing the invading crowd the doubtful pleasure of giving his "sweatiness" a hug and a kiss.
Last night in Leyton, as the Orient crowd flooded onto the pitch, two seniors, Bill and Maureen, politely asked the stewards to let them through a gate so that they could "invade" their beloved Brisbane Road along with the youngsters. They were caught on camera and today Colin Murray on Talksport and Leyton Orient FC have made the most of this community feeling by interviewing Bill on this morning's show, and presenting him and his wife, Maureen,with tickets to the Wembley play off and a visit to the training ground to meet the players. Maureen was not available to chat this morning as she was doing her usual task of looking after a local disability group. She will, of course, be free for the trip to the ground and the big final. Well done to the oldies, to Talksport for making all this happen and also to the Os, a small, community based and successful Football League club. We await the outcome of the Division Two play offs, not yet complete.
