ITFC v Sheffield Wednesday May 3rd 2014
The last game of the season, so the whole of the Championship had to kick off early to accommodate Sky TV. I'm not a fan of 12.15pm starts, far too early in my opinion.
Following the loss at Burnley last week our season was all but over, as was Wednesday's, they were sitting safely in sixteenth position.
We had another twenty thousand plus crowd (only the second of the season) buoyed up by over two thousand Sheffield fans - who were all in party mood.

In fairness for an end of season game it wasn't too bad, it did take me about twenty minutes to find any enthusiasm though!
The Owls looked a lot better side than the one we drew 1-1 with, up at Hillsborough at the beginning of October. Out has gone Dave Jones and his replacement Stuart Gray seems to have got them playing some football.
Tommy Smith opened the scoring for Town with a close range goal after thirty-seven minutes, a lead that lasted until Kieran Lee equalised ten minutes after the break. At least the season ended with a home win, thanks to Paul Green's second Town goal, he headed in Stephen Hunt's free kick midway through the half.
So that's it then, we ended up in ninth place, just two points short of the playoffs, which in my opinion is a decent effort following the last few! Hopefully we'll strengthen a bit more in the summer and have another go at getting out of this league.
