I don't know how to create a poll, but I am just wondering how everyone is feeling about the season at this point?
Before the season started, if someone had told you "Wembley, playoff final to go up", would you take it? I know some people expected us to walk the league (not sure where that came from, being on this side of the pond, I am not as in tune with all the other clubs), but I personally just wanted a season of safety, consoldiation, with no chance of going back down into Hell. Competing for a playoff spot wouldve been good, being in the playoffs even etter. ANow, here we are, 1 match away from back to back promotions.
I can't change things up enough to make it to Wembley on such short notice, but I would rather come over when I can see at least 2 games (or more, especially at EP) next season. If is it in League One, awesome, if it is in League Two, we will definitely be in the running for automatic promotion (along with that team from Wales).
All in all, no matter what happens next weekend, this has been a succesful season in my mind. Oh yeah, cheers to the club for the streaming pass for us exiles, I saw at least 30-35 county games this season, I've never felt closer to the club.
Cheers, Jeff

We made it to Wembley today. Am I satisfied? Yes. I'm pissed out my head.
These are great days for our football club.

100% satisfied with how the season has gone so far and would of bit your hand off if someone offered me this at the start of the season.
Am I satisfied with the style of play - it's probably 50/50 as its a style that has worked but it's not great to watch and especially when you consider teams like Salford who in the league especially got on the ball and ran with the ball which is what I'd love us to do but if passing it around the back between 3 cbs and the keeper then so be it I guess, dave challinor is the manager

First season back in the football league after over a decade. Finished fourth. Still had a chance of automatic promotion in the last game of the season. Through to the play offs final... Am I satisfied? Hell yes!

I will only be satisfied if we win promotion.
Today was great and I wouldn’t have missed it for the World but we should have finished in the top three, it was there for the taking and with the resources and infrastructure at our disposal 4th is a failure (that sounds harsh I know but the harsh reality is we are losing £5M a year to deliver that setup and at that rate there really is no time for failure)

Take your point DS - promotion is the only acceptable option but the next best financially is to get to Wembley via the POs. We’re there. Just need to seal the deal!

I've been up for getting on 24 hours. County are at Wembley, the wife has said she'll drive there, and I'm in America. Heck yeah I'm satisfied.

I was at Histon, Lowestoft, Oxford City and many others and if you'd offered me another trip in the F.L. to Wembley in my lifetime with County, I may well have laughed at you but I'd also have bitten your hand off. As it is, my life now as an exile means getting to Wembley takes a bit of an effort but Ryanair flying from Almeria into Stansted on Thursday means we'll be there and Mrs Malc gets to see her son's for the first time in almost 4 years. Satisfied? Yeah, just a bit. Missing out on automatic was a bit of a blow but this 2nd prize ain't too shabby. See you at Wembley next Sunday. 🇪🇸😊😊😊🎩 Vamos County ⚽️🎩

We'd have all taken this at the start of the season; regardless of what happens next week, it's difficult to not be satisfied.

However we all make predictions so a PO final aint bad win or lose. This season is not promotion or bust looking at the season we have had where i doubt DC has ever had a full squad to pick from in any single game. Next season however expectations will be much higher if carlise beat us and it could end up nothing but promotion yet again.

Sorry but those days are well in the past and should never be brought back to cushion any failures that happen now. When we were down there playing teams like that it was equally pointless banging on about victories at maine road molineux and others that only helped to make our position down there feel even worse than it was.
