Not that it is going to affect us too much but OT has been selected as the venue for the play offs, I guess it is only fair that the Northern Monkeys get a chance to have the final close to them for a change saying that it would be ironic if it were Southampton vs Bournemouth

It's a good move.  At the risk of re-opening a discussion we've already done to death, Wembley was just too big for our game last May.

Too early to predict anything but just have a gut feeling that playoffs and theatre of dreams is our destiny. Would be great way to go up if it all came to pass!

Definitely a good move imo. It's just common sense that league 1 and 2 are unlikely to attract a crowd of over the 70000 odd that old trafford can hold. I would have said they would have gone for Arsenal if they could justify lowering capacity to 60,000 or Twickenham. which is a bastard to get to, great stadium though!

Not for Millwall is wasn't. Be it Wembley, Old Trafford, Emarites or the moon, we still would have had 25 thousand wankers who didn't really give a fuck. Make it two legs like it used to be.

Do you know how much we actually took to Wembley? I thought we sold around 30,000 in the end, not sure though!

Certainly didn't sell out, 30,000 or thereabouts, when I see the footage, much as it pains me, the Millwall hordes seriously outnumdered us. Can't recall such gaping empting seating areas in '93 appearance
