Ken Tone Posted 16 April, 2012 Share Posted 16 April, 2012 Just looked at the play-off dates --just in case ---and saw The npower Championship Play-off Semi-Final dates have been confirmed as follows - 1st legs 6th v 3rd - Thursday 3rd May 2012, kick-off 7.45pm* 5th v 4th - Friday 4th May 2012, kick-off 7.45pm 2nd legs 3rd v 6th - Monday 7th May 2012, kick-off 4.30pm* 4th v 5th - Tuesday 8th May 2012 OR Wednesday 9th May 2012**, kick-off 7.45pm. *Note - If Brighton & Hove Albion finish in third place, both ties will reverse i.e. Brighton's HOME leg will take place on Tuesday 8th or Wednesday 9th with the AWAY leg on Friday 4th May. ** Note - The exact date will be confirmed following the FA Cup Semi-Finals. The Final will take place at Wembley on Saturday 19th May, with a 3pm kick-off. Brighton won't finish 3rd of course, but why the special case? Home/away makes a lot of difference in the play-offs.

Is something going on at the AMEX stadium ? Surely these dates would have been known months ago and all the clubs told to keep them clear. Still looks like some special dispensation. Perhaps a little reward for helping Wham out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andysstuff Posted 16 April, 2012 Share Posted 16 April, 2012 Just as likely something going on at Brighton uni IIRC they rearranged a match earlier in the season as the uni has an event on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sotonjoe Posted 16 April, 2012 Share Posted 16 April, 2012 Do I tempt fate and write these in my diary or do I 'grow some' and just ignore them? On the plus side, at least if we came 3rd we'd have the 2nd leg at home on bank holiday monday. Good way to spend bank holiday and all that.
