best price for us is 3/1 to win on friday, shrews typically 10/11, draw 12/5

can get 9/2 on shrews to get thru, about 1/8 for us, the bookies are rarely wrong!!

this morning bet365 make shrews evens favourite, the draw 12/5 and us outsiders at 13/5 to win the match
to get to OT we're 1/5, shrews 10/3
a 0-1 away win is a tempting 17/2, naming zebs as the scorer is 40/1!!
had a little treble on reading, posh and us to win thru and go up at 50/1, very pleased with it so far!! two tough finals tho, but my mate said posh were superb last night, swansea do look awesome recently tho
in and streaming for me tonight, hope everyone whos goes has a great time and we'll be on our way to the final!!

Posh were ok but I can't see them beating Huddersfield. MK Dons were absolutely aweful and had a punch up with 2 of their own players in the second half!

both sides likely to score a few so should be a good final, i may end up going to that final too, cos he's on about making a weekend of it, coming to our game (if we get there?), stopping in sheffield and then going over for posh v hudd on the sunday?

shrews in to 10/11, we've drifted slightly to 11/4, exactly the same prices in other game, i'd say stanley more likely to win than shrews tho perhaps??
bookies cant decide!

They obviously did not see the game at Plainmoor then. The comprhensive second half dismantling of Stevenage in the second half - it could have been 8 not 2. Seldom have I seen a football team so completely outplayed. if we play anywhere near that standard we will win it for sure.

Torquay now slight favourites. 7/4 at Coral and Paddy Power while 9/5 on Stevenage is the best price, available with Pinnacle. The betting exchanges also have us slight favourites at 2.68 opposed to 2.72 for Stevenage (3.4 on the draw). £3,880 has been placed on the match at Betfair so far, of which £1,280 has gone on Torquay and £1,030 on Stevenage but surprisingly most cash on the draw (£1,560).
Best bet for me though is under 2.5 goals. All four play-off games had two goals or fewer and can't see this being any different. 4/6 at Paddy Power and Stan James.
