I get that they had to shift away from Wembley because of the Euros but surely they could have come up with a better venue in a more central location.

Wouldn't be happy if I were a Pooley and we made it to the final and we were playing Torquay.



MK Dons would've been a better shout.

To be played at Ashton Gate.

What a sh1te venue, especially if Hartlepool make it.

Surely they could have found somewhere better.

Tinpot!


With Wembley unavailable and given it’s in mid-June and most football stadiums will be getting re-laid or prepared for the new season the only real choices are stadium that also host Rugby as League is a summer sport & union’s season ends in late June.

So the possible options were probably Bristol, Brentford, Hull & Wigan. Whilst Bristol looks the worst option the others might have said no.

If their league hadn’t made such a gigantic balls up of running things then they’d have got their Wembley trip. Instead it’s massively overrun into the Euros.

I also noticed the semis are on the same day as England’s opening game, terrific planning as per.


The season hasn’t overrun. It was always their plan for the regular season to run until May 29th and the playoffs to follow on from that.

It’s only recently been played at Wembley...there was a Hereford fan at Uni, they played their final at Stoke I think...


The finals at Stoke & Leicester were before the new Wembley opened. Since then all the finals have been at Wembley.

Actually I think the 2011 final was played at the Etihad because of the UCL Final being at Wembley.

WTF...

The second Play-off SF (3rd v 4th/7th) is on Sunday 13th June at 12PM.

England’s first game at Euro 2020 is on the same day at 2PM. What a ridiculous time for the NL & BT Sport to choose.

It's more the fact it could be the players only opportunity to play at Wembley etc.


There was a time when only the players in the FA Cup and League Cup finals played at Wembley. It’s become a bit of a debased currency.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

We’d expect nothing else...like when the football have umpteen free Tuesday nights but choose to put a programme of fixtures on a champions league night.

Cheers for the info Regarding the final, I figured it was Becauee Wembley was being built but wasn’t sure...you’re never quite sure with the conference...


'the poor and the needy are selfish and greedy'...well done Mozza

In footballing terms I think it’s known as ‘devaluing the product’ 😉


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'
