We all know this game will be extremely difficult. I can not see there being more than the odd goal in it. I know the management and squad will give their all as they have done all season. Really looking forward to it "COME ON YOU WINGS"

It will be very difficult for Chelmsford as well. I think youll win at home. They will be more worried. Imagine if you went to thier place. Home advantage is massive and you beat them recently so while that wont mean anything on the day thier fans will be worried.
Guys i was going to this with my son but hes pulled out due to work. I have a spare printed ticket free of charge so it dont go to waste.
First come first serve basis, also I only want to give it to a parent with a child, Im sure you understand this.
Ill check this again in about an hour, if anyone wants it Ill just meet you outside about 215.

ok its been over an hour Ive got a taker so sorry if anyone missed out.
Feck me. I am exhausted after that. I thought we had blown that. I have to say over 90 minutes a draw was probably fair. We were better 1st half. They had to come at us 2nd half. BUT...... it was a definite penalty no doubt about it and it won us the game. The downside is we have to travel to the White Elephant stadium Woking for the final. COYW
Mentally drained after watching that! Chelmsford started well but when we scored we upped the intensity and were good value for 2-0. The free kick that led to their goal looked soft and second half we looked a bit out of sorts. If it had gone into extra time I did not fancy our chances. The penalty was not good for the ticker! Shame Woking won, very difficult game but we can do this! Well done to SK and all the squad, whatever happens next week its been a great season.
Sorry but thought the idea of wrapping N,ghuol up in cotton wool was due to their physical game.
I assumed we would get the Chelmsford defenders on yellows, and allow him a easier second half.
Thought both substitutes were **** and brought nothing to the game.
The game was screaming out for N,Ghoul.
Unless he was carrying a knock, cannot understand how he never replaced Callum in the second half.
They were ****, yet were knocking on the door for most of the second half.
Look, we got a last minute winner, it was a cracking ending to a game.
Howver, it could gave been a lot easier against this lot.
Hoofball and backs to the wall defending will not get us a result next weekend.
See you all at Woking.
Really enjoyed it today after being away so long. Great first half, but the goal on stroke of half-time changed the game. Chelmsford were the better side in the second half and feared the worst after the equaliser - I had turned away thinking it had gone for a corner.
Definitely a penalty. Good luck to the team next week - with Notts County, Stockport and Yeovil in next season it would be a great fixture list.
Woking will make it horrible for us next week. We will be on the open terrace and they will probabaly offer us as few tickets as they can. They will be worried and try to piss us off.
Dont react to it, get behind the boys and make loads of noise. We are good enough to go there and turn them over and they will know that.
Up the Wings , nothing to fear and everything to gain.
So proud of Welling yesterday. It would have been easy to let the game slip away after they came back from 2-0 but the team battled to the end and got what they deserved. We have nothing to fear at Woking next week. After all the talk about how difficult the league would be this year we are one game away from going up, despite the issues with the budget etc. Totally amazing. The team and the management deserve a really good turn out of Wings fans next week to recognise all they have achieved.
Not sure my ticker will take too many games like that and I feared the worst at 2-2 but these lads know how to respond and respond they did! Haven't seen the highlights yet but looked like a penalty to me at the time (although, of course, I would say that!) but others nearer to it also told me they felt it was a penalty apart from Stringer of course who went a bit OTT with his hysterics after the game - I can certainly understand his disappointment but labelling it " the worst decision in play off history" was laughable and also wrong!
Play off games are never going to be classics football wise but I think we were more than a little fortunate to go into a 2-0 lead but, having got there, it was frustrating to concede right on half time. You could say that all three goals in the first half were soft but I wasn't complaining about the first two! If only all our players were as clinical as our centre half in and around the goal?! Second half it is a very fine line whether to stick or twist and I think we were clearly on the stick side! Having said that we were never carved open and aside from a couple of set pieces and one last ditch tackle they weren't exactly peppering our goal. The equaliser was another soft goal but Wilks has bailed us out a few times this season and it was nice for the rest of the team to do the same for him in the end. The fact that there was no extra time will help us this coming weekend as well.
So off to see our friends at Woking for the umpteenth time. No results there this season in FA Cup or League but they were both tight games. I have seen mixed results there but a repeat of the 4-1 in the Trophy a few years back or the 5-0 in the league a few years before that will do nicely! Once again it is highly unlikely to be a footballing classic and we will have to weather the storm at times. They have three giant defenders and a referee at left back so we can expect an aerial bombardment with free kicks and long throws etc...and we will have to deal with that. We are not a small team ourselves and if AA is not fit to play then we have the players to compete and try and nullify that threat. I am intrigued as to whether SK will stick with 4-4-2 or maybe tweak that a little on Sunday..?? We have a match winner and game changer on our bench but should we give him the opportunity to start the game or do we hold him in reserve - a dangerous tactic if we opt for the latter and have to chase the game. Both our wide lads in the last few games have been excellent in different ways and I would think it is highly unlikely that they won't start but can we get all three into the starting XI or will it be another game or stick or twist..??
Hopefully there will be a large contingent of Welling fans there to cheer the boys on as they certainly deserve it. I am sure our hosts will be ridiculing the away fan numbers however many we have but frankly I couldn't give a s**t about that. We need to be there to support our team, get behind them and stick with them throughout. Hopefully we get a strong referee (and not the one we usually get wearing the Woking number 3 shirt...) If we match them physically then we have more than enough quality to win the game.

Yeah Woking fans seem to like that little game. They`ll be working themselves into a frenzy before Sunday and if they think there`s not enough of us then they will demand the tie be awarded to them before kick off.
Just viewed highlights from Sunday bizarelly on Chelmsford forum and even their reporter concedes it was a pen! Look forward to Mr Stringer apologising for his comments and congratulating ref on excellent decision.....or then again!
Definite penalty and fair play to the ref as many might have bottled it, especially with Stringer and his mouth brigade on the bench. Kiernan seemed so focussed and confident despite many Chelmsford players trying to put him off.
