Those kick-off times look strange as well. 6pm on a Sunday? 7:30pm on a Saturday? Late kickoff on Sunday is due to final Premiership Games kicking off at 3pm.

The farcical football league website does say PROVISIONAL so I would not book anything at the moment.

I read somewhere that nothing will be decided until after the last games are played and the police involved. After all, without their go ahead, no games will take place.

Those kick-off times look strange as well. 6pm on a Sunday? 7:30pm on a Saturday? Premier league will take precedence on the Sunday, and they also want to televise all play off games so there will be some strange times! I believe this is quite common.

Also Saturday night is better for travelling supporters than a Thursday night.

If we finish 4th why are we the Match B game when in the Championship and League 1 the higest finisher in the play off's is Match A? probably because Plymouth v Portsmouth is seen as the more alluring game.....
it's actually bollox all this for tv scheduling last minute fixture arranging.....

It's been changed again. Amazing stuff. 4th vs 7th is now Saturday 14th and Wednesday 18th. Can we just go up on Saturday instead? This is tiring. As it should be. No way should we have to play our away leg on a weekday and our opposition which finished below us gets their away leg on a weekend.

So if Pompey finish 5th they and Southampton will both be home on Sunday 15th??
I think this may change again as I can't see Hampshire police allowing both to play at home on same day......

Given we've still a chance of automatic promotion do we need to worry about the Play Offs dates before Saturday evening?

After York on Saturday I'm convinced that no one is going to slip up this Saturday so came into work this morning and booked off the 12th as holiday. To say I'm gutted is a bit of an understatement.

Well if it's to be the play offs I'll be watching those games from a bar in Barcelona, but I'll see you all at Wembley for the final

I was planning for the first leg being on the Thursday but this way round could be better.
Should have a gas meet up in London during the day and catch the tube at night to Wimbledon!
