[cite]Posted By: Elthamaddick[/cite]so if it's the 15th it will probably be a midday KO, that'd be an early start if we were away !
Especially if we're at Huddersfield!
I never will understand why if the final isn't until the 29th May, why we have to cram 2 legs into 3 days so soon after the season has ended. Someone please tell me why a side has to play on the 14th and 17th then have a 12 day break for the final?
Does anyone know when the final will be played? I probably won't be able to get to the semis due to exams but would hopefully be able to get to the final if I can book the flights enough in advance (barring another volcano).

It's very annoying. I'm stranded in Bangkok and was expecting to catch both legs and the final. I presumed the final would be around the 23rd....i fly to greece on a 4month contract on the 27th.....may have to just send an apologetic email!

mark the 29th has been the final date all season, its just the semi's that they have played about with. Sdaly I can't do the 15th :-(
As the final is bank holiday weekend there's no chance of being able to afford a flight back, should we make it that far...
I hope we do get the Fri and Mon night play-offs, and barring Leeds being in the other semi, I think as the "big boys" in the shake up we probably will, regardless of who we are playing.
see above link - no matter how many times I read this I'm still confused ... we must play Friday 1st leg at thome but might be on Saturday ... seems like we cannot play 2nd leg at home? ... maybe it's just me but can someone clarify?
I think, that what it is saying is that in the event of either us or millwall finishing 5th/6th place then they will play their home leg on the friday. Although it we both occupy one of those places we will play the saturday and millwall the friday.
What i don't get is there's all this confusion over who can and cannot play on the saturday because of the FA Cup final. So why not just play the first leg on the sunday instead
why does it matter if theres a game at the same time as the FA cup final anyway? its not as if we all want to watch lumpolard and terrys badge kissing is it

Because the police won't want fans of other clubs in London the same day as 80k Chelsea and Pompey fans.
If we finish 3 rd or 4 th, we will play away on the Friday / Sat, if however we finish 5 th / 6th, we will have to play on Friday unless Millwall finish 5th/6th, then they have to play Fri and us Sat.

12.45
The saturday at wembley and the sunday at the egg chasing
surely if we got Millwall we'd be allocated the boring early Saturday game for policing reasons?
either way there will be nothing fun about getting another beating!
Saturday 29th May definitely.
