Remind me what date it is?

 

[Sean Thornton]

12 o'clock deadline.

 

[Harry's Game]

Ha. and indeed.... Ha.

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

12 o'clock deadline.

We were granted an extension to 2pm if people agreed with it, or till 9pm if we needed more time to respond with a different idea......

So maybe putting a story about the pigs as main Blades headline was an April fools joke.

Nah - just fucking incompetence.

 

[Davalon]

Laugh?.....I didn't.

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

Says it'd be decided on pie sales. We're fooked now they've got Brucey.......

Why not just make the final over two legs as well then instead of at Wembley?
There's more chance of goals over 180 minutes than 90.
I think it's a ridiculous decision anyway.
Who do they think they are to make a unilateral decision like that?
Really boils my piss this sort of stuff.
More 'We know best because we're Londoners' sh*t'

I've given you a like as I genuinely do not know if this is a 'Whoosh' moment for you, or an April Fool double bluff.

"But if the two Sheffield clubs were due to meet in a final, promotion would be decided by the number of pies sold at home games during the regular season." what sort of rule is that

Good joke I give them that

Well I think it's a genuine Star article:

1) 'EFL rules out possibility of Sheffield Wednesday vs Sheffield United play-off final'. Wednesday - despite alphabetical inferiority (and every other measure) - named first.

2) 'Fans on both sides of Sheffield's football divide must have at least recognised the possibility of a Steel City derby playoff as Wednesday and United continue to fight for promtion.' (sic). See 1).

3) 'The Owls extended their unbeaten run to 12 matches after grinding out a 0-0 draw away at Stoke City on Saturday, while the Blades dropped out of the automatic promotion spots after slipping to a 3-2 defeat at home to Bristol City.' See 1) & 2).

4) 'We are sorry to both Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United supporters but the playoff final is the biggest match of the season and is a showcase for our fantastic league.' See 1), 2) and 3).

Oh, I geddit! It's a spoof April 1st article! There's no mention of 'Chansiri' or 'Save Our Owls'...
