Here we go.... bit later than I said lol
APRIL BEDFORD 9-2 Tranmere ----- JPT Final
In a near sell-out crowd (89,989! We have that many fans?), Bedford were far from full strength but it didn't show one bit as they absolute decimate Tranmere to lift the JPT.
Russell, Farrell (pen), Love (2), Donaldson (2), Boakye (2) and a returning Rayner all on target as Bedford.
Burnley 3-2
BEDFORD I think the chase for the outright title is over now but automatic promotion is still very much on the cards unless we start throwing it away more often. Love and Beresford (pen) on target for Bedford.
BEDFORD 2-0 Leicester ----- FA Cup Semi Final (TV)
How has this happened??? If anyone had told me I'd be going to the FA Cup Final with Bedford in the next couple of seasons, I would have laughed with them.
Russell and Love score to send Bedford to Wembley for the third time this season where they will meet West Ham.
You're lucky to go once, but three times??!! This game loves me.
Most teams have just three games left in League One... I have EIGHT! BEDFORD 2-0 Dag & Red
Boakye and Rayner score the goals in a comfortable win. That title is still ours for the taking.
BEDFORD 0-0 Stoke
Bedford fail to use the man advantage and draw against fellow title contenders Stoke. Still could go to either two or Newcastle, but Newcastle definitely in the driving seat.
BEDFORD 4-0 Aldershot
Bedford keep their title hopes alive and kicking with another hat-trick from Love and a penalty from Beresford. 47 goals for Love this season!!
BEDFORD 2-1 Cardiff
Love adds to his tally while Beresford scores twice (one pen) to keep the points rolling to close down Newcastle.
Oldham 3-2
BEDFORD Bedford's title dream is effectively over now and it is now a fight between us and Stoke for 2nd place. I will be gutted if we don't get it. Luckily we have a far superior goal difference.
Boakye and Donaldson score for Bedford. Jones misses a late penalty.
I get Manager and Loves gets Player of the Month. Let's hope we can secure auto promo
MAY Tranmere 0-2
BEDFORD Rayner and Boakye score to keep the pressure on and the title is possible again as Plymouth thrash Newcastle.
Cheltenham 1-4
BEDFORD A hat-trick from Love (51 goals now) and one from Donaldson score to make the last day a bit easier and not so tense.
It really has gone down to the wire... we haven't had a break once this season and the cup final will be our 63rd competitive game... so let's hope we don't have to go to the play-offs. Also let's hope Newcastle screw up.
Newcastle 88pts +39
Bedford 87pts +43
Stoke 85pts +15
BEDFORD 3-1 Southend
Donaldson, Rayner and Jones give Bedford the win to secure another promotion
But does a league title come with it?
Answer: Sadly no... but it's still a promotion!!!
Big Relegations
Grimsby relegated out of the league system
Middlesbrough relegated to BSP
And so to the cup final... West Ham finished 10th and won a little something called the League Cup.... WE'RE GOING TO EUROPE REGARDLESS!!!!
West Ham 2-1
BEDFORD ----- FA Cup Final
Bedford put up a hell of a fight and didn't disgrace themselves one bit and leave with their heads held high. Boakye gets the single Bedford goal in what really feels like a cup win just being there.
Chambers misses an injury time penalty. It really could have been our day but it wasn't to be.
WHAT A SEASON!!!
Promotion to the Championship on first attempt!!
The Johnstones Paint Trophy!
FA Cup Finalist!!!
Plus we're in the UEFA Cup next season!
