dellboypete Posted 31 August, 2010 Share Posted 31 August, 2010 In the unlikely event that we'll be in the play-off final next May - I'm still convinced we'll get auto promotion no matter who we have as manager - the League 1 & 2 play-off finals won't be at Wembley. Just saw this on the bbc website....... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/8956524.stm Cos the Champions League Final is at Wembley ............ It will be the first time the new Wembley has hosted Europe's most prestigious club game, although the old Wembley staged the final of the competition - then known as the European Cup - five times, most recently in 1992 when Barcelona beat Sampdoria to lift the trophy for the first time. Under Uefa regulations, no games can be played at final venues for two weeks beforehand, to allow the preparation of the stadium. That has already caused a headache as it means a clash with the Football League play-off weekend. The Championship play-off will be played at Wembley on the Bank Holiday Monday, 48 hours after the Champions League final, while the FA has reached an agreement with the Football League for the League One and Two games to be played at alternative venues.

Andy_Porter Posted 31 August, 2010 Share Posted 31 August, 2010 Guess they will be played at the Emirates then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 31 August, 2010 Share Posted 31 August, 2010 Guess they will be played at the Emirates then. Would be sensible to see who the teams are and make a decision from there; so either Emirates for southern teams or Old Trafford for Northern teams. But then this is the Football League, so common sense would go out of the window in that case.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Posted 31 August, 2010 Share Posted 31 August, 2010 Would be happy with the Emirates. Have wanted to go there for a while and it's much closer than Old Trafford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted 31 August, 2010 Share Posted 31 August, 2010 Millenium stadium? For League 1 or 2 it's not so critical to have such a huge stadium; take the JPT final as an example where Carlisle only brought 20 odd thousand supporters. Only the likes of us, Sheff Wed and Charlton would justify the need for more than 30k tickets each. 60K at Emirates would be plenty for most sides.

Golden Balls Posted 31 August, 2010 Share Posted 31 August, 2010 Saints Vs Brighton final - Surely the sensible option would be for it to be held at Fratton Park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawillwill Posted 31 August, 2010 Share Posted 31 August, 2010 Millenium stadium? Seeing as I missed out in 2003, I'd fancy that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
