Cheers just a bit strange - one min it’s there the next not.

That's another sanction. Honestly this club. They'll get the cleaner next for using the toilet cleaning mop in the corridors.

It's a mistake by the club it seems but irrespective it all but confirms that Middlesbrough will be in the play-off final - according to Middlesbrough fans on OneBoro forum. Jesus they'll jump at anything.

A bit concerned for the first time with tickets going on sale Friday, after they initially suggested they’d be on sale tomorrow.

At least we’ll know what’s going on either way after tomorrow.

Hull were supposed to release information today and didn't. I reckon the EFL have told both teams to wait pending the outcome of the investigation.

No he didn’t have a customer number they were his first ever games. I bought them under mine. 
 

I’m going to go and speak to the ticket office tomorrow and see if they can help or not. 

I didn't think you could buy tickets without assigning to anyone anymore? Or have 2 against the same number.

Might not be out of the woods yet then, so to speak

I had them printed and posted so he could keep the tickets from his first season , so I didn’t need to assign them to anyone. Both came with my name on. 
 

I should have thought about this at the time really

Hopefully they'll sort you mate. If they're kids tickets I don't see why they wouldn't.

EFL are kinda screwing with Hulls preparation at this point.

Why?

 

The only people that think we’ll get kicked out delusional Boro fans & media.

Because hull won't know who they should be spying on

God this is all getting very tedious. Never ending psychodrama. 

[bpsaint]

Don’t understand why releasing the sales info and dates etc is an apparent issue.

We originally had 14 days to respond, which takes us up to the 21st. 2 days before the final. I can't see Hull wanting to delay much longer, they are an innocent party in all this.

We meant to put it on the Boro website 😉

We only gave them 2k.

Nah it'll be West again which is better anyway.

As someone else has said, think it's to do with the rail links and the more southern team gets the west side.

That suits fine. Half the Man City crowd couldn't see a thing with the sun in their faces. 

[Cabrone]

Dress code for Wembley?

[Morse]

Having been on the Hull site, I can confirm they are not releasing ticket details until tomorrow. 

( they are also saying the ko time is 1.00am which seems a little early !)

[St Chalet]

Who is the home team?

Bagsy Yellow.

How is that decided ?
Is it on league position, or by toss of a coin to decide who wears their ‘home’ kit?

Must be league position. Weren't Leeds the home team last time out?

If the colours of the 'special' playoff final merch on the OS is anything to go by, we'll be in our home kit...

We're in the home kit with black shorts. Hull in home kit too.

The sacrifices we make for the international TV market these days is disgusting

Yeah we wore our home kit when we went away there earlier in the season. There's no clash so it makes sense.

Yep, the only difference then was that we wore white shorts rather than black, to avoid a clash with Hull's black shorts. One assumes Hull will switch from black to orange shorts if they're the designated away side at Wembley.

If that's the case, and they are the designated away side, I expect they will play in their full away kit as they did at SMS. 

Feels like we never get to be the designated home side at Wembley. I genuinely can't remember the FA Cup semis against Chelsea and Leicester, but I assume we would have worn our home kit against them no matter what. But all the other games I can remember in recent years - EFL final, playoff final and cup semi recently (although that was our choice), we haven't worn our home kit.

The only time I can definitely remember we did was the JPT in 2011.

If it’s North v South, the South team always gets the West side. It’s to do with access to the different train stations for North/South I think. 

I thought that was the case but in this year’s League Cup Final City had the west, Arsenal east.

No doubt we’ll get the west…if all goes to plan -  a niggling doubt remains that a decision could be made to wipe the first leg as #spygate and the subsequent manufactured outrage was over that game and they do this ‘3-0 home win’ bullshit which would put #crygate back into the final.

Can of worms though so hopefully unlikely, lawsuits all over the place if that or similar were to happen.

We wore our home kit against Chelsea, but again were the away team, Leicester we wore our third.

Including the old stadium we have never been the designated home team at Wembley.

Is it as simple as where S is in the alphabet compared to all the sides we’ve faced.
