No offence to Shaun cos this thread isn't as bad as others BUT there is an influx of OTT threads today where people seem to think it's a given that we're not only going up this season but going to the prem soon too 
let's not get ahead of ourselves - the moaners could be back come Wednesday!

im not getting ahead of myself haha just enquiring to see what people would choose if they had the option!
+ where is it being help millenium stadium?
and not at wembley sucks!
If you could GUARANTEE that we would actually win the play-off final, and IF it were at Wembley, then the play-off option would be better than second place. Nothing beats going up as CHAMPIONS though.
WHAT THE f***?!

I would guess the club would prefer to go up automatically to avoid all the additonal administration of play off tickets in the run up to Falmer

Well talked about. Wembley needs 10 clear days before it host the CL final, I believe.

I agree but unfortunately we can't guarantee this so I'd happily take 2nd rather than risking the heartache of a Wembley defeat. Having said that, if we did make the play offs i feel we havenothing to lose atall going into Falmer, especially if we sneaked in in 5th or 6th - to win them would just be a massiver bonus.

Supporters of League One and League Two sides hoping to visit Wembley Stadium with their teams will face disappointment this season.
The League One and League Two play-offs will not be playing their play off finals at the national stadium in May 2011 because Wembley hosting the Champions League Final in the slot usually reserved for League One and Two clubs. This means that the Football League Trophy competition is the only realistic chance for these sided to travel to the country's most iconic stage.
The Championship play-off final will still be played at Wembley on the Bank Holiday Monday, on 30th May (Monday after the Saturday final) but the other two divisional finals will have to be played elsewhere.
The Football League are not allowed to stage the Play-off finals a week earlier, as UEFA regulations insist the Champions League Final venue to not stage any matches in the two week period leading up to the game.
Premier League clubs will also be affected by Wembley hosting the game with the FA Cup Final now being scheduled for Saturday 14th May. This was originally meant to be the penultimate weekend of the Premier League fixtures. Therefore the FA Cup will no longer be the domestic climax of the English season for top level clubs.
The Football League will now have to find at least one alternative venue for the League One and League Two finals. The Millennium Stadium in Cardiff will be the most obvious choice, where Walsall won their play-off clash against Reading in 2001. Other grounds who may be considered - Manchester's Old Trafford and City of Manchester, Villa Park and Arsenal's Emirates Stadium
Emirates is being considered I believe.
