Play off dates

Last years final was 1pm kick off which is great for two London teams but pretty crap for teams 200 miles away, meaning a very early start and not much time for a pre match drink.
I know there’s the option to stay over in hotels on the Saturday night but that’s a very expensive option for families.
Yet again the EFL not caring about fans.

 

Not sure about that but I remember many years ago the L2 final being on a Friday night. Torquay were playing in it.

 

8pm on a Saturday night honestly who decides that

 

Try using facts for a change, unless of course you're using some northern calender variation

 

TV exectutive's and FA bean counters

 

Sky of course

 

You would think the plod would put a stop to that if these games possibly involve a local derby game ..........fook me the youth are bad wnough at 3pm on a Saturday that would be off the scale 5 hours later

 

Hudders not looking good atm unless they are looking for another managers bounce

 

If Bradford played Bolton or another Northern Side, I'd be quite happy for it to be held at Old Trafford, Everton's ground or the Ethiad.

Wembley's good but it's a Shizzle place to travel back from when you are given a stupid kick off time to jump through hoops with TV.

 

The super computer says we will Finnish 6th on 75 points, Lincoln first, Cardiff second and it will be Plymouth v Stockport in the final.

 

I really hope season ticket holders get the chance to retain their seats for the playoffs (should we get there).

 

They’ll have chaos if it’s a free for all.

 

Fairly certain we did for Carlisle play off games a few years back. I remember sitting in my seat for the game and the people around me were the same folk as usual.

We'll be in there now, it's pretty much nailed on. I'm incredibly confident that none of the pack between Plymouth and Wycombe will get to 72/73 points now as neither can assemble any form and I'm sure a few still have to play each other. Even if we lose out we still might be set for 6th spot on 71 points.

 

You don't sit in the Midland Road do you? We all had to move to places where there were gaps.

 

Wasn't that only because Mark Hughes wanted City fans behind both goals? Shouldn't happen again this year.

 

I believe so, but I was replying to a post that suggested all season ticket holders sat in their own seats v Carlisle.

 

An interesting proposal, I hope this doesnt come across as being blase but its a great event going to Wembley if you've never previously been, and for our newer fans certainly something to look forward to, but in this day and age the cost for a family of 3/4 would be well into the £100s.
If another venue was put forward for two Northern teams for me it would have to be the new Everton stadium which fans who have been say is the best yet ( yes I'm a little bias), with 3 Northern teams occupying 3 of the pay off places with a big buffer with regards points it's very much a possibility.
Just the one problem how do you fit " Hill Dickinson Stadium" into " Que Sera Sera" or either of the other two options .

 

Has that ever been the situation in the past I cant recall it I've sat in my regular seat for home play off games, although we didnt have that option for the big cup games but that's been done to death many times before.
