PlayOff Finals NOT at Wembley?

[DoDTS]

I didn't realise till today that should we reach the play off finals they are likely NOT to be played at Wembley and probably at Old Trafford, as Wembley is double booked?

Sounds about our sort of luck should we progress that far we're likely to be playing someone like Bury who have about 4 miles to travel.

Three trips to Cardiff None to Wembley, are we jinxed.

Mind you a bit early to be even thinking about it yet, a long hard season in prospect.

same as the jpt thats not at wembley either, venue to be decided at a later date.

I'd rather save Wembley for next season when we go up from league 1

I'd rather go up automatically and give the play-offs a swerve

Remember reading about this a few weeks ago. Sod Old Trafford, i'm sure any fan of the 6 clubs fortunate enough to be participating would rather go to The Millenium Stadium for a day out or 2. I certainly would, after the 3 trips down there 5-6 years ago. Great city (ignore a few of the natives), loads of pubs and clubs to frequent before and after the game.

and we will settle for old trafford in the final of the jpt.

Old Trafford? Brilliant! :p


Seriously though, why would the JPT moved?

Whys that then?. Thought this is usually played in late March/April?.

Don't think it would be; it's April 3rd.

Keep up Dad of DTS - think this was mentioned last week !!

;)

 

[Strykr]

another example of lower league(proper) fans, getting the shaft.

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

They shouldn't have moved the Champions League Final to a weekend.

They shouldn't have moved the Champions League Final to a weekend.

I doubt UEFA really pay too much attention to potential clashes with 4th tier play off games when making such decisions.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Who cares...................won't concern us. We'll be in the automatic promotion places! ;)

 

[SARF]

Jpt venue should be decided after they find out who is in the final , if its not going to be at Wembley or the Milstad..

Actually it was mentioned in the Summer ;)

If you believe in omens then it's probably a good thing for us. It would be good if they could wait until they know who is in the Final before deciding on the venue, like they used to for the FA Cup Semi Finals, but logistically I doubt that's possible.

 

[Beefy]

According to this the JPT Final is at Wembley.

 

[Harold Bishop Killer]

Surely they should just move back to the Mil Stad again - worked well last time.

 

[BluePartridge]

Have the Champs League Final at Roots Hall then we can play at Wembley.

 

[1966 and all that]

I'd rather save Wembley for next season when we go up from league 1

Have we given up on getting to this season's FA Cup Final already?
