Totally agree with you about Hull, I have been thinking the same. Massive game for them and a great achievement for them. They are completely innocent bystanders in all this and now their fans, team and club have to live with all this uncertainty, hassle in making their travel plans etc. What an utter mess and shambles. 

Judging from their local media, they don't want to play Middlesbrough, who beat them 4-1 at home, and they don't want  their preparations and travel arrangements messed up by having the final postponed to a later date. They very much want the final to go ahead as planned, on May 23, against a Saints team they did the double over this season.

 

Other Championship clubs Middlesbrough have contacted will be weighing up who they'd prefer to face next season: Saints on a long unbeaten run or a fading Middlesbrough team. Of course, they'll also be factoring in the effect of a possible points deduction.

 

Meanwhile we have Pompey fans pretending to be Saints fans posting on local Teesside media, "we think you should be given our final place at Wembley."

 

Everyone has their own agenda in this.

Igorning this spying nonsense their form before the play offs was pretty poor, 3 wins in 12, one of this was home to Sheffield Wednesday. Didnt realise Mcburnie had got 17 league goals, he absolutely bullied us up at their place. Can see it being a tight game.

Yep it’s not going to be a walkover. Mcburnie is the issue for me too - control him and a lot of their forward play is easily nullified
