Neither away game good for travelling, unless it's to Sunderland.

Blackburn or Preston wouldnt be horrendous, WBA or Coventry abit worse. Millwall, Norwich or Swansea would be a right tvvat though.

Why is the final a late KO at 4:45?

Why is the final a late KO at 4:45?

Final day of the WSL and they kick-off at 2:30pm.

Wouldn't surprise me if that's the reason, to avoid overlap.

 

[Jedi boro]

I think they want prime time tv as well like the champions league do.

I think a bigger question for me is why games are suddenly kicking off at 4:45pm instead of 5:30pm when played at Wembley. Such as Saturday's FA Cup Semi-Final and the Play-off Final. Is this a police issue for London games? And if it is - are we going to have to get used to 4:45pm kick-offs around the country?

Final day of the WSL and they kick-off at 3pm.

Wouldn't surprise me if that's the reason, to avoid overlap.

Can’t be that. 3pm would finish after 4:45

 

[TeaCider]

Can’t be that. 3pm would finish after 4:45

They kick off at 2:30pm, actually.

Not sure why it's not 5:30pm though, there must be a reason.

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

Both FA Cup semi finals were 4:45 kick offs as well weren’t they.

 

[atypical_boro]

FFS, I leave Santander at half-time so will be in the air for the second half! (If we finish 4th).

I'd forgotten about Swansea, that's a horrendous journey at any time.

 

[TeaCider]

I'd forgotten about Swansea, that's a horrendous journey at any time.

Can't see them overtaking 6 teams above them, given a few of them have each other left to play.

No

Where are we most likely to get the biggest allocation, of the possible opponents?

So the minority sport with lower attendances takes precedence. sick and tired of the championship playing second fiddle to womens football

 

[TeaCider]

You'd think they'd all give the same minimum allocation of 2,000.

No benefit to any of them giving more than mandated, and they'd all sell out for a one off crunch game.

Does it make that much difference?

I'll say this again theres not a chance of Sunderland v Middlesbrough 5.30pm ko on a saturday. SkY will be forced to switch the 2 games around

The final at 4.45pm between us and the mackems would be hellish. As would playing millwall at that time
