      Anyone know of any logical reason why the championship play off final is on the Saturday this year and not the usual Monday???

      #130476

      The only reason that I can think of is that as its World Cup year, Championship teams are more likely to have players involved in the world cup, so moving it forward gives em more rest/time to work with their national squads ahead of that.
      Not sure how big a difference 2 days makes but there you go

      The championship play off final has been played on the saturday for the past 2/3 seasons now. But TBH, i think its better on the bank holiday.

        only this year and 2012 has been on a Saturday

        This year more than likely because if the of the World cup like you say TyldesleyLatic

        The general view is that it is because of the World Cup.

        It may only be a couple of days, but they are possibly a couple of days when international squads are assembling for the World Cup in June.

        There are international friendlies the following Friday eg England V Peru.

        So 2 extra days does make a difference to some!

        Let’s get the semi finals dealt with before we start making too many plans for the final :ohmy:

          It’s the FA there will be no logic.

          Just be grateful they’re not playing the first half of the final on the Saturday and the second half on the Monday- because that will come one day.

          I imagine it would allow the Tinkerman to rotate the squad between halves then !
