Play-off dates 2013

[Power to people]

When the Champions league was last played at Wembley, wasn't the final played at Old Trafford to look after the pitch?

Didnt UEFA put in some sort of stimulation previously that the pitch could not be played on x days or weeks before the chumps league final

Sadly they will be at Wembley

Playoff final the day before the first of my final exams. Ah tits.

[Dostoyevsky]

So possibly both our home and our away leg will be played within 48hrs

Brentford away on a May Bank Holiday will be messy

I cant make the first leg which will be at home, i fancy us over 2 games

[Langers]

I do hope we aren't away to Sheff Utd or Doncaster on the Monday lunchtime.

Brentford would be best for me in terms if convenience but I most fancy us against Yeovil over two legs.

It's a game we haven't had to play too often, but try and figure out who we'll get....my money is on Donny. They've to go Griffin Park on Saturday...win for Brentord takes them up leaves Donny 3rd.  

They may well be on a down if they chuck it away....but we'd still have to play on that shit tip again.

Just considering what the demand will be for tickets and whether it will be adequatly satisfied (Bear in mind we filled the 3,000 capacity South Stand at Charlton for the Play-Off 2nd leg:

(taken from: http://www.footballgroundguide.com/ )

Yeovil Town FC

Away fans are situated in the Copse Road open terrace at one end of the ground. This is uncovered, so hope for a dry day. Up to 1,750 supporters can be housed in this area. Additionally 300 seats are allocated to away fans in the Screwfix Community Stand, which is covered. However tickets are only made available in this area to families with young children, senior citizens and ambulant disabled.

Sheffield Utd FC

Away fans are housed in the lower tier of the Jessica Ennis (aka the Bramall Lane) Stand at one end of the ground, where around 3,000 supporters can be accommodated. For cup games if the demand requires it, then the upper tier can be made available too.

Doncaster Rovers FC

Away fans are located in the Case Construction North Stand at one end of the stadium, where around 3,344 fans can be accommodated. If demand requires it then a portion of the East Stand can also be allocated.

Brentford FC

Away fans are housed in the Brook Road Stand at one end of the ground. This covered two tiered stand has 600 seats in its upper tier and room for around 1,000 fans below in the terrace.

[Dostoyevsky]

In the event we play them, Brentford and Yeovil's ticket allocations are going to be well over subscribed by our fans?

[Honkytonk]

Yeovil for the semi final would be best I reckon. We'll do 'em over two legs, easy, and their pitch isn't too terrible.

Whoever we get in the final, let's just hope it's third time lucky. Cunting Wembley.

brentford vs doncaster last game of the season is one hell of a match! i wouldnt mind playing the loser in the hope that they will be drained at missing out of autos. i still feel hard done by after the two brentford games this season. the first game there was nothing in it and in the second had roberts scored an open goal it would have been 2 nil and a possible step to victory. im worried about mcdonalds away tactics for playoffs as he has got it wrong in almost every one so far

Above all else, we need to win at Scunthorpe and thus give ourselves the best chance to have a first leg away from home. Whoever we end up playing it will be tough both physically and mentally. Personally I don't hold out to much hope and I tried last night to be more positive especially after two decent wins at home. Then I thought about who we played and that neither had anything to play for and thus those two wins should have been expected rather than hoped for. Hence a really moral boosting away win at Scunny would at least show the other play off teams some intent from our part,

[janaage]

Town in the Play offs should give plenty of opportunity for placing some win/win bets. Insurance, if Town go up great, if not then least you come out with a profit.
