Will we get the verdict tomorrow by 4.30pm?

I don't belive any training goes on at Boro training ground. Perhaps the footage evidence will show players missing the goal and falling over.

That's good. We can make that then

Just need PL to agree. That provides the option to give us a points deduction to almost guarantee relegation and fail to win v Hull then its a win win for Boro as makes it difficult for us to get top 6. I don't think Saints will appeal or take action as we dont have a rich backer.

That surprises me but good for us.

7 points and £8m , Tonda season ban and possibly ather staff. as all England clubs want us out of final. Its still a possibility to remove Saints from final and not rearrange final so no issues with broadcaster TV just cancel final. I think Boro would be very happy and suggested that as the just want Saints not promoted. There doesn't need to be any proof of advantage gained as Saints have broken the rule. Don't think most fans cared about Derby and Leeds but Boro have campaigned anx got club's on board and now EFL have to please all club's not just Boro. Its a strange decision to allow ticket sales then hint game and club's may change. Plus why are they leaving decision till Tuesday. EFL will go as far as they can on pojnts and fines or Wembley exit as there is too much noise from sky pundits club's fans and its overrun EFL.

Im going, if the game is on then you miss out on a possible Saints win over Hull and two fingers to Boro.

If we gained a direct advantage from spy video footage then the footage must show teams practising missing the goal, not using possesion (we give teams 45 mins most games) and perhaps no defending very easy slow crosses. Saints players are so advanced, skillfully and can retain video footage the know exactly when to score, when opposition will miss. How on earth does a team miss so many chances and waste 45 mins? Do they actually practice this? Boro should be asking Saints to assist in thier traing if anything as they can analyse their own footage

It would be interesting to see the betting patterns in North Yorkshire for Boro to lose and if there are any betting terminal at any training grounds.

Sell some to Boro fans they can see how yo play football.

Im standing in Northam 63

Got my 2 tickets, quick and easy block 134. Lets hope Boro aren't running the sanctions meeting.

EFL have given in to a teams demands ie Boro. Now set a precedent for a strong sanction for what is essentially a Red card for kicking the ball away. What ever we get, 6 points, pints plus fine, exit from final its now an issue for how will a more serious breach be handled. Man City would on paper then get 600 points and put in leaque two and not a £100k fine. Also EFL have not told clubs to hold fire on selling tickets so that's another issue clubs will look back and say we'll we should be able to sell match tickets before decision made. Plenty fake news saying EFL say Saints given 6 points today.

EFL and Boro idiots, they already have decided then so just announce the verdict. How can you say to a club start selling tickets, travel accommodation then say but we may change our mind and your not in final.

Says Hull v Southampton so have EFL already decided we are now back in final?

Looks like decision to be made on Friday some papers like Mirror reporting.

That's what I was thinking.

Any truth in Boro demanding Saints give them £20m if promoted to prem. Wouldn't surprise me

Boro will just call another club and say look help us out make a spy claim about Saints

Because Boro's PR team, Sky and other clubs and supporters have now followed the thread as it were and demand Boro get compensated

EFL have gone along with Boro all the way and now cant back track and say ' look Boro its not really that big an offence, Saint had no benefit and gained no leaque points directly from spy footage, so leave them in final and £500k fine' They just will look as stupid as Boro and thier manager, players and coaches.

Unlikely as Saints could just of made statement before 1st leg that spy not on pay roll and went in Dec. Saving all the Boro frenzy and EFL keeling over.

Good point. EFL must have called all involved or the committee and decided already. All they need is a TEAMs meeting for 30 mins and record for speech to text minutes and job done. Its a deliberate ploy to stop as many Saints fans going to final if it goes a planned.

Saints will be the precedent for an example to clubs that you'll get removed from final or semi or QF or large points deduction if get caught. Which after this no one will get caught. It just just lead to other snooping or hacking into data to grab traing videos or insider to e mail for a brown envelope.

You won't get a refund. I booked hotel to watch CRASS in Brighton and car broke down always and got towed home. Both the hotel and ticket insurance said I should havd got the train to Brighton after getting home at 5pm. But no train back that day why I got hotel and drive back.
