Playoff semi-final dates confirmed

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

FL say they will decide who plays when as soon as the teams are known, which will not be until 4 May games have been played.

They will be dreading us against Palace twice in three days!

 

[Questions]

It's us versus Watford and we'll smash the loopholers to kingdom come.
Who's with me ? Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarge.

 

[CP 0 3 BHA]

Well that's me buggered then. Having missed the last 4 home games for a variety of reasons we're most likely going to be at home on 9th or 10th IF we make it - and I'll be on stage in a play both nights. Sods law that they hold them so soon after the end of the season just when it doesn't suit me

 

[KJP]

Hope we play Thursday and Sunday, that way I'll take the Friday and Monday off and try go to both games

 

[Another Berkshire Seagull]

Surely if we play Palace the police will request us to play on the Thursday and Sunday? Cant imagine they would fancy Palace in Brighton over a Friday night. Sunday early for the return also should cause less policing issues.

Count me in G-Man

 

[KJP]

Count me in G-Man

I doubt we have enough loyalty points but worth a try

10 May = Match B 1st Leg and my birthday

the last game I went to on my birthday was the 2006 UEFA Cup Final in Eindhoven, poor Middlesbrough, stuffed 4-0 by Sevilla if I remember rightly. Here's to the same result this weekend!!

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

If we are involved and are game A the first game is on my birthday

Would you like me to bake you a cake?.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Sunday game clashes with the Spanish Grand Prix. Grrrr.

Do you honestly think you would prefer to watch the Spanish Grand Prix than the Albion in a play-off semi-final?.

Aren't you well?.

 

[Rugrat]

does anyone know what the rules are on the number of seats we get offered for the away match. Is it the usual?
And what points threshold are the club likely to operate for away tickets?

I've asked this question. I've got it in my head that the away teams have to be offered 3000, no idea where I saw that but I'm sure I have. Imagine the club will do the normal and offer in batches, but I've lost track of points and what's a good number. I've got 1110 and reckon I'll be marginal

 

[finlaych]

Typical. I have an exam on the morning of the 14th. Here's hoping for game A!

Same, Biology?

 

[PWA]

I hope the Away leg is Sunday.

Will involve a days hols of work otherwise.

 

[shaolinpunk]

Would you like me to bake you a cake?.

Yes. Yes I would.

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

Would you like me to bake you a cake?.

It's my birthday as well, so make that two please.

 

[Hotchilidog]

I just hope we are in the playoffs, not fussed which semi-final. My chickens are as yet uncounted.

A 12.30 kickoff away to Hull?

Cheers. I've also got 1110, so am in exactly the same position. It'd be interesting to know how many people there really are with larger numbers of points than this, given that our away attendance probably averages not much more than 1,000 (?), and a lot of those are, I think, the same people.

Fingers crossed for the 5th place.

I think STH who had a season ticket in last year at Withdean will have minimum 1125 (1000 + 250/2), before you start counting home cup games (20 alone for Arsenal which everyone went to)/aways this season and a half of last season's points. Therefore guessing there will be a fair number (well over 3k with more points than you). That's not to say they will all want to go!
