The clock is clicking to The Championship Playoff Final at Wembley.

It's the final day of the season. And as predicted, it's gone down to the wire Brentford need to win (realistically) to stand any chance of promotion to the Premier League.

A loss could open the door for Fulham to tuck in via the back door.  Billy Grant and Dave Lane pontif...

This episode is called “Theatre of Dreams” and Griffin Park itself takes centre stage.   Fans recall the days when the terraces were full, when the Royal Oak was in its heyday and when you needed to turn up early to guarantee you’d get into the ground. And then there were the relegation years when just a few thousand fans would turn up, rattling around the near empty ground, the die-hards who woul...
