Say you were given the chance to look ahead now and avoid all the worry and stress, any lingering doubts about Cardiff 'doing a Cardiff' again. Would you say yes?

Part of me is eager to get to May and just to know one way or the other but ultimately it is the journey that makes the end result special if we get promoted this season. Especially considering what has happened these past few years.

As tempting as it would be to look ahead i hope i would say no given the oppertunity. I know if i looked that whatever the final outcome i would end up regretting it.

No. In life, the chase and the anticipation is what it is all about.......even in football!

No - I'm enjoying the ride too much. Not knowing makes it all the more enjoyable.

No.
I'm happy with the current scenario, where the passing of another week sees the points gap continue to grow! lol!

I do, of course, agree. I just hope the chase is over with 3 or 4 games still left to go Hypothetical Situation: If you could look ahead now to the end of season league table - would you? 692773407

In the short term, I would rather have it over and done with, but in the long term, I would rather have a dramatic win to make me see the season through rose tinted glasses

Perhaps I am the of one out here, but I would like to know.

If I knew that we were definitely going up, I would enjoy the victories a while lot more and not stress too much about the losses and draws.

Yes, and then I'd put all my savings on a cheeky little bet. I'd be like Biff in Back to the Future II Twisted Evil

I'm the sort of person that can't even read a book without sneaking a look at the last page. If love to say I wouldn't look but my lack of willpower would betray me.

The moment you even peek the season is over. There is no pleasure in the win, no relief as you get the last second winner, no joy seeing your rivals drop points. You have to live the game, the season and not know how the result will leave you feeling. It's like wrapping your own presents, once you know what you've got it's just a process.

We are 11 points clear with just 17(?) games to go. Trust me, we'll go up with ease.
