If both ourselves and Orient win their respective semi-final, who would play in their home kit at Wembley? I am guessing it would be whoever finished higher in the league?
I thought it was a coin toss? In both our finals against Sunderland we wore our home kit. In 2019 we finished above them but in 1998 they finished above us.
The EFL bases its play-off final kit decisions on the participating clubs’ finishing positions in the table. As United finished third to Sunderland’s fourth, they are seen as the home side.
Question is... Would we wear our Away kit if we were to face Stockport, given how we'd be the "away" team and never wear our red kit in that situation.
Great game this so far hopefully we can match it tommorow.
If we do get to Wembley I really hope NJ doesn’t decide to play long ball football either of these 2 will play straight through us if we keep giving them the ball

Cheers. Didn’t know that. I guess they changed the rules since 1998?
Incidentally, Sunderland have played 4 Wembley playoff finals (Swindon ‘90, Charlton ‘98 and ‘19, Wycombe ‘22) and have worn their home kit only once (against Wycombe) - and that was the only one they won.
Worth remembering that our game was partly so boring and uneventful because we f**king pulled Wycombe's pants down and gave them a strong pounding just a few weeks ago.
Even their players post-match acknowledged the 0-4 defeat, and wanted to avoid a repeat.
Wycombe had also lost three on the trot so needed to stop the "rot"

That looked painful.
