    I regret starting all this. Really this was in response to the Donaldson chat and a great end to a career it would be to cap it off with a winner at Wembley but its been moved to its own thread.
    Anyway all irrelevant for now anyway. And forget settling for the autos, we're winning the league!

    Turnaround from first to second leg is usually quicker than that. Might be wrong but isn't it Saturday Wednesday or something similar...

    My recollection us that in the past, that was the case. However even if it is the Wednesday, the current situation which prevents spectators from attending lapses on the Monday, when the new regulation of 10,000 or 25% comes into force.
    So as it stands one team would be able to have a limited set of supporters attend the second semi final.
    Given the angst which occurs, then if (and all this is pure conjecture) we were to play at home in the first leg, without supporters and in the return leg, the opposition supporters were able to attend, then the situation is likely to be very interesting, to say the least.

    It might depend on whether this is a 'Claret' or 'Amber' game on who gets a ticket ;)

    Isn’t it usually the first leg mid week and the second leg the weekend after the last game, so all over before the changes to the rules?

    so first leg 12th and second leg 16th

    3 points off playoffs with a game in hand, 8 off autos with a game in hand. The in form team in the division. It’s not unrealistic, promotion should be now the only talk on our lips. Great turn around.

    But you can have 50000 people milling around the streets of Roundhay Park.
    The rules and restrictions are ridiculous. At the end of May there’ll be a handful of Covid cases daily so I don’t think it’s unrealistic to think the June 21st date might be brought forward especially when they won’t want Euro games played with 10000 fans only

    Realistically, if we somehow ended up at Wembley, I'd be happy to rule myself out of that one.

    10,000 at Wembley sounds like a truly dreadful experience.

    On our run in we play 6 teams who are presently above us 4 at home 2 away the 2 away games being our next 2 games, this is going to be some effort to achieve a play off place, but the way were going I wouldn't bet against it.

    8 wins 3 draws from 16 games is very much in our hands if we don’t make it I think we’ll be disappointed

    Who are the people who put money on us to go up, when were were at the bottom of the table? What sort of odds did you get? Could be a nice day all round for those that took a punt! (if we win)

    Probably did it later than some and I didn't lump much on (or shop around) but got 25/1 to win the playoffs

    And also had 2 pretty big bets (for me) on us finishing top half as I thought it was like printing money;
