Thinking of you. I know it's terrifying, the reason why I have a soft spot for Leeds United is due to my son spending so much time in Leeds children's hospital when he was diagnosed with non hodgkins lymphoma in 2024.

Stay strong xx

I can't edit it.

I think today is the day for Lincoln! Huddersfield fan here and I'll be keeping an eye on Lincoln's game for certain. Probably more than our game when we inevitably lose to Orient. 😂

Good luck Lincoln (although I do have a soft spot fir Reading after their fans donated to our statue & various other local charities).

@SKYTVADDICT good luck and enjoy the game. I'll keep an eye on the score from sunny Gillingham.

Thanks for the messages and thoughts everyone. 🥰

Good luck to Lincoln today!

i don't actually know how pinned posts work, but since everyone is celebrating i will join in.

Am currently holding my breath because Wednesday are 1-0 against Leicester in the 85th minute. I can hardly breathe, and i have sweaty palms.

Really wish i were in Hillsborough today!
How did it go with Lincoln? (don't want to look at FotMob until well after the Wednesday match has finished)

argh. I looked. Leicester have scored. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I wanted to warn you to not look again but it was disallowed

Reading levelling as well

Congratulations @SKYTVADDICT !!

Congratulations to Lincoln!

My nerves are shot. We've scored with the last kick of the game twice in row now! 2-1 this time and now 3 points off the playoffs. Still a chance but Stevenage currently in 6th do have a game in hand on us.

We also finally won away!

Congratulations to Lincoln!

I also bloody love football. WE. WON. AWAY. Away, I tell you!!!

WE WON AWAY TOO! It's an Easter miracle!

Thanks for beating Wycombe. Please can you beat Stevenage for us too? 😂

Congratulations Lincoln!

Adding to the lower league celebration posts as Gillingham won too! 2-0 at home against a very poor and badly disciplined Accy Stanley. The win has also secured our L2 status for another season 🎉

I'd like to think we can but it would be the most Bradford City of Bradford City things if we didn't. 🙈

I know Huddersfield and Bradford are rivals but damn are they are so similar in many ways this season. 😂

Lovely to see that most of you had a good day ⚽

@SKYTVADDICT Hurrah - well done Imps!
@TheSleepingGiant Such a relief for Gillingham!

Had the best day. Looking forward to getting home and into bed. Still at Northampton Services and been congratulated by Bradford and Birmingham fans. Loving the footballing family ❤️⚽️

We look forward to hosting you for a joint end of season promotion & relegation party.

Lost 3-0 to Stockport today...

16 minutes of added time!! 16!!! I know your players clashed heads but don’t know where that came from. We knew we would concede with the last kick. We have done that so many times this season. Although when the ref makes your defender go off the pitch even though no trainer came on and then Huddersfield score from the dropped ball. Well, we weren’t very happy in the stadium to put it mildly! Congratulations to Lincoln. Please don’t celebrate by beating us too badly next week. We need that goal difference. Up the mighty O’s.

We have done it many times this season too. I feel your pain.

The referee wasn't the greatest I don't think. He was very inconsistent and our players were down for a long time but I have to admit, I was surprised that it went on for 16 minutes.

I'll take it though, it's largely been one of those seasons where things rarely go our way, case in point with the own goal followed by our young striker coming on only to get injured 0.5 seconds later. 😂

So Prestwich Heys, are claiming they didn't turn up on the Sunday morning because they were worried about injuries and couldn't get substitutes over in time.

Nothing to do with them being spotted in Quid's Inn getting uproariously drunk the night before, obviously...

The risk of injuries is higher with a hangover 😂
