Anybody know the semi final dates?

Exact dates currently not determined - depends on sky scheduling.

First leg 9th/10th May
Second leg midweek the following week.

Missing the second leg, as in Ukraine, but back for Final ( if we get there ) :drink:

Brighton not being there would put me off somewhat.

The threat of being charged as AWOL as I was on Cup Final day 1983 - threatened that is, not charged. Had a ticket, but my sergeant wouldn't sign my leave application. :rant:

We have decided to forgo the half-term holiday in case we get there but there are other reasons as need eldest to visit his grandparents prior to leaving the UK.

Whether we get there or not remains to be seen however half-term in October will be a much better holiday.

bit topical for me this at the moment,
trying to arrange something super important, obviously the 4th is out question, as is the last weekend of May, but cant find any potential semi final dates?

(sorry, just seen earlier post this time...)

Missed final Goldstone game because after a dry spell I pulled the night before and instead spent the day trying to google my way through a horrific hangover.
Very good looking lass considering I'd pulled her after reaching blackout drunk.

Thursday or Friday? Bit odd.

If we made it what would make you miss the playoff final.

I might be out of the country so this could be taken out of my hands, although im fighting very hard for this not to happen.

But I honestly think if we made it to the final it would be one of the greatest days ever. Its got to take a lot to miss this one.

A very, very large sum of money, although I missed Cardiff due to my wife having a 'zero' birthday.

if your gf or wife or partner was having your baby on the same day as the play offs final

The question was about you. Why did you try to guess other people's potential reasons? :shrug:


Only my wife, one of my kids or myself being hospitalised would stop me going. Sorry, sis!

My uncle got married to my auntie in 1966 and guess what day they picked for the wedding :facepalm:

Similar. I was on holiday with my parents on the day of the World Cup Final. We were in a caravan, in Dunwich, miles from civilisation, no telly or radio. I watched the final a few weeks later in colour at the cinema.
