Title: play off dates
Post by: Bob's Orange on Sunday, March 21, 2010, 13:02:26
Huge apologies as I am sure we've had this thread before but I am starting to think about booking flights for the (potential) play-off games.

Please can someone let me know the dates for both the semi final dates and when the final is? My boss is asking us to work plenty of Saturday's coming up so I need to know when not to work!

from gazza's post here (http://thetownend.com/index.php/topic,37653.0.html).

Saturday May 8th  Season Finish - Coca-Cola League 1 & League 2

Saturday 15th May - Coca Cola League 1 & League 2 Playoff Semi Final First Leg

Tuesday 18th May/Wednesday 19th May - Coca Cola League 1 & League 2 Playoff Semi Final Second Leg

Saturday May 29th  Coca-Cola League 1 Play-Off Final (Wembley Stadium)


iirc, the semi-finals get moved around a lot for TV anyway but the final will definitely be on the 29th.

Might be a good idea to sticky the play off dates?

Yeah, but Royal Mail have a crap holiday system.

They only like people booking in weeks and not single days. Getting a saturday for a wedding and friday, saturday for WorldNet was hard enough.

...and they've booked my remaining holiday for me already! So I have half a day spare and 2 and a half to carry over from this year (apr-apr) but they will probably forget.

Sorry Dave, thought you meant when you said they booked your remaining holiday that they decided for you.

Surely you can decide can't you?

The final is right in the middle of my exams :(

That happened to me in the last play off final we were in. I didn't go because of this and cash. How I wish I could turn back the clock and make a different decision.

The semis are bang in the middle of my exams, which isn't much good. I'm done before the final though so if we're there I can enjoy it (depending on the result!)

It will be interesting to see how many fans we can amass should we get to the play off final.

I remember against Leicester in 93 there must have been 40k Town Fans easily.
