Is this 100% accurate, I mean can this be trusted?

The missus is looking to go to New York on 11th -18th and didnt want to commit just in case we actually did get into the playoffs. I've heard elsewhere the final is 19th.

Looks like if we sneak into the playoffs we'll be playing our away leg on the 7 May.

Yep. I'm hoping for that. It's my birthday and I'd quite like a play-off final place as a present! More than likely it'll be at Upton Park too unless they completely implode

So, are they basically saying we can't play at home on a Bank Holiday?

Are we not allowed to be at home on the Bank Holiday Monday because of Leeds rioting in Bournemouth or is there some other reason?

I am being thick too - this makes no sense does it? How can you play on Monday and then again on Tuesday or Wednesday ??? Am I missing something?

exactly its bollocks - or we are both really stupid?!! :lol:

No, I think they've made a mistake there. I hadn't read that bit, was just working out when we might be at home.
