Daweii Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 It's always bugged me that the final takes place almost 2 weeks after the semi-final 2nd leg. 2 weeks is a long time to wait if you go into the final as the in-form team in the play-offs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Yep I'm the same, got work and then German school, on holiday the week before so don't want to miss the lesson that I've paid an extortionate amount for, fortunately with the hour difference and flexi time I should be able to watch the game (providing i can find a bar showing it...) And then relive my yoof by turning up to school pissed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final is always on a Monday in non tournament years, good it's at 3pm aswell rather than the half 5 nonsense. I can see us being the early game on the Saturday if as expected we play WBA. Don't think WMP will want to risk another FA cup style riot! Although I think it's just normal away allocation in play offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to Wembley last year and can't remember it was on a Monday haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone can enter the play-offs as the in-form team and just because we're in-form right now doesn't mean it'll stay that way. All I was saying is that two weeks is a long time to wait for a team going into the finals in-form. Could that be us? Sure, but it also may not. If I was talking about Villa in my post I would have said it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
