Play Off dates Wrong?

It states that if we finish third the ties will reverse with the away leg on the Friday but the text before does not mention the team that finishes third playing on that Friday. That is reserved for four and five.

Surely it doesn't mean that all the ties change or does it? Am I being thick?

Sixth versus third is on the Thursday and the return fixture is on the bank holiday. As we cannot play on the Bank Holiday - I assume it is a transport thing - we will play the fixtures the opposite way round.

All very academoic as we are ten points behind West Ham with seven to play.

Rather than a transport probelm isn't it a seaside club not allowed to play at home on a bank holiday monday, problem, would Blackpool not have the same restrictions

Again it won't happen because they won't get 3rd

Being away 2ng leg is worse. I'd rather not finish 3rd, not that we've really got a chance anyway.

Edit: understood that wrong.
