Play off final kick off time - 3PM

On the Sky Live Football site it's 16.30.

That could be programme start time I'm guessing.
 

In a sensible world. Some bright spark will say.. Can’t we just play the fucking thing at Old Trafford? 32k tickets each. I know logistically it will never happen. Just hate that the FA haemorrhaged themselves with a fucking 6/10 stadium, that we are now bound to play their for all eternity. The mystique of walking down wembley way and the twin towers is no more.

Don’t think Sky have the Scottish Cup so why should that matter?

This from LIve Football on TV for the 24th May. It appears the Scottish FA Cup final is on BBC Scotland. So other sporting events may be the issue - assuming it is a Sky problem that is

Don't go off-narrative. As fans, we're supposed to be constantly in awe of the "magic" of watching our team play at Wembley, no matter how many times we've been before and regardless of how shit the experience is.

I imagine that 90% of all fans would rather see Sunderland v Blades final at Old Trafford or Coventry-Blades at Villa Park.

Just don’t get why games in London and Glasgow at the same time are a problem. Sky won’t care it’s on BBC and the BBC don’t have Sky games in the EFL.
I’m driving there and back on the day if we get there so I’ve mixed views about kick off times.

Finals should always be at Wembley, playoffs included. Only reason we don’t like it is we’ve been too many times in recent times & every one has been a let down. 90% of efl fans would snatch your hand off to see their team at Wembley.
 

Playoff system is little to do with football and only about TV. League finishing record is given insufficient consideration and location and timing takes no consideration of fans.

Penalties are a ridiculous way to decide between clubs that could have been 20 points apart after the 46 games that the League is meant to be about. If the lower- finishing team isn’t ahead after extra time the higher finishing team should win - that way if it goes to extra time somebody is always ahead and extra time is really competitive.

Final at Wembley is crap for Northern teams. Final should be at the higher-finishing team’s ground with a whole end for the lower team. Atmosphere would be way better than at soulless Wembley.

We want our game back!

UTB & FTP!

They've turned a league competition into a knockout - all for the sake of more TV money. Why bother with the league if the last bit of it is turned into a lottery - for money - that's why

Only time I recall club putting on free coaches was Wolves away in 05, last game of the season.

This was the last time I used a club coach as it included an hours stop at a truckers service station. Only so many times you can go for a piss or browse the selection of travel sweets.

Fulham away cup replay 2004 I think. If it wasn't free, it was very cheap.

For the Huddersfield Town game the Club put on a special train that held nearly 1,500.

Must have been packed in like cattle trucks to Auschwitz. I think the last chartered train I went on was the Hull game and they brought out a HST set which would hold nowhere near 1500 on seven coaches, about 1000 max if they made it a nine coach set. The Hudderfield charter would have been one of the later Meridian sets which cram in 250 on each coach. The only trouble with footy specials is you can't have a pint on them but they are cheaper than normal trains, on other times I have travelled via Donny a fast train only takes a hour and half to London still about as fast as the midland routes best with a couple of stops.

We haven’t won at Wembley in a century. This is a great chance to put that right, but 90% of us would rather move it to Old Trafford? What brand of madness is this???

More clubs benefit and it Keeps the season alive
Yes it is a cup competition should be a round robin
Team third get all home fixture
Team fourth get two home fixtures
Team fith get one home fixture
Team sixth get none
No Wembley

They have done in the past but the problem is engineering works between Hitchin and Bedford has closed the Midland main line so train bus train that way or East coast mainline to KingsX or via Birmingham and Euston. That said a train will only take 500 or so.

Also Old Trafford is a shit hole these days, why would anyone want to play it there? Even Man U don’t want to play there FFS!
