Where did you watch the 2017 Play Off Final?

I watched it at home with my son and was a pretty soulless experience - think we were in Tesco's by 5.20! Just wondering if we get to the final this time if, because of social distancing, it will be underwhelming?
 
I was in the Hockney Pub in Shipley, crap pub, crap beer, but, good result and got some of the locals cheering us on.👍
 
Watched parts of it at home. It was underwhelming but I still wanted us to win because I always do.
To answer the o/p second point, it certainly won't be underwhelming if we get there this time. Even in the early parts of this season during our poor start after I'd had a good moan on here, I was still looking forward to logging in for the next match.

I'm both worried and excited about every game this season, especially atm, so a final would be nerve racking even on I follow.
 
Didn't even bother. I watched the highlights for the first time last year due to a thread on here discussing it, that was enough to boil my blood watching all the mushrooms celebrate Potts' goal. Can't imagine what it would have been like watching it live on TV at the time knowing you're boycotting, self inflicted torture!
 
Half watched it at home. I really didn’t give a shit. Suppose it was a good day for the mushrooms and the people who only give a shit when it comes to a play offs final.
 
Watched it in Glasgow at my old gaff, a very lonely affair. I managed to enjoy it and was glad for the team, until the camera panned to all the scabs at the FT whistle. Genuinely a little bit of sick formed at the back of my mouth. Not just that they went during the boycott, but so far into the boycott, when so many had given up so much for the cause. I wasn't necessarily angry at them for being mushrooms in that moment (stupid is as stupid does), I was just angry having to remember they existed.
 
Watched it at home - in fact it was a recording so didn't see it live. The reason why it was a soulless experience is because I didn't much care, not because I wasn't there. If we were to get there this time but couldn't attend, there'd be major celebrations at home/pub if we were to win.
It's extremely frustrating that we can't attend, but i'm still getting the same nervous excitement now as I would if in the ground.
 
Blackpool Cricket Club. With hindsight, I regret not going to that game, the only final I've missed. This last year has shown how totally insignificant and unimportant that period was. Kids stuff.
 
Watched it at home of course wanting The Mighty to win but it was a soulless and underwhelming final with us not not being there in our thousands. At least the message came across loud and clear that our absence was due to those that asset stripped the club and we were not prepared to stand for it!
 
Didn't watch as such. Had it on in the kitchen to check the score but was out in the garden. Heard shouts from a house out back and assumed we'd scored. Mrs ran out to tell me it was 2-1. Watched(ish) after that.
 
Was in Manchester for a gig... remember in a pub a group of lads couldn't believe we were pool fans and not there.. even when I told them what was going on and suing fans etc they still didn't all get it.

Watched bits but really felt so unemotional whilst now I'm buzzing for tonight.
 
In a tiny bar in Greece. My son was sending me videos of the goals from the 2nd semi as we were travelling to our accommodation in Greece. Weeks later I watched (I was the only customer) the final in a bar whilst the rain and thunder was relentless outside. Absolute bliss!
 
Watched it at home wanting the opposition to win. Not done that before & never want to again. A thoroughly bad experience. On a happier note let’s get Accy stuffed tonight 👍
 
I watched it at home, it was the Luton semi final that made me watch it. When their player cheated to win a penalty I was desperate for us to knock them out. The final was weird, I was happy for Bowyer and the players though, they worked hard and deserved the promotion on their CVs.
 
watched it at the bootham pub in York weird really as I didn’t have any feelings about the game but had to watch enjoyed the win but wasn’t bothered either way

That was something that severely depressed me during the first leg, and probably the reason I didn't watch the final.

I remember feeling NOTHING up until the player dived, and then I only wanted Blackpool to win because I wanted Luton to lose - I realised that halfway through my excitement in the game and it crashed down on me on how depressing that was. Amazing to have the club back and it was crazy to me how quickly that love returned!

If you're up for boiling your blood some more, watch this video and try not fume at the comments by some Wembley goers (5 minute point onward). Tim from the Seasiders podcast also features!

Wow, those comments! 🤬

I don't even remember watching it on TV, but I'm sure I must have done as I remember being pissed off at myself for cheering our winner in the semi away to Luton when I watched that on SKY 🤣
