Sorry Boogie, just planning the Raging Fever tour to Paris for May and I think I'm safe if we go the weekend of 21/22 May?

Can anyone confirm?

League 2 play off final is 28/5/11 at Old Trafford. Semi-final dates will not be known until the teams are known and TV has decided

On the same day (28/5/11) the European Champions final is being played at Wembley.

Is there not a 'window' within which each semi-final leg will be played?

I have a trip booked 18th May to 25th May. I hope this is not the window for any semis......

With the season ending on the 7th May and the final being 28th May you would imagine that the semi final will be played with the first leg being back end of w/c 9th or Sat 14th and the 2nd leg being back end of wc 16th or Sat 21st. I think you might be unlucky!

I'm with you on this AC.

This something that should only ever be undertaken in the privacy of your own head.

I'm not concered as 3rd place has our name on it! I'm also pretty sure the semis are completed a week and a half before the final so we should be able to watch all of it.

If we win the League championship, when would the victory parade be?

Is it me, or is this a major f'k up by the FA / Football League? Why spend millions and millions building a national stadium only for it not to be used for clubs in the Home Nation?

I see that if Luton make the play off final, they don't get to Wembley either. Personally, I think this is a disgrace.

Let's wait til next year -)

&quotThe decision to stage the npower League 1 and npower League 2 Play-Off Finals in Manchester follows a mutually agreed settlement between The Football League and the Football Association that enables Wembley Stadium to stage the UEFA Champions League Final on the evening of May 28 and the npower Championship Play-Off Final two days later.&quot

Will the clubs in L1 &amp L2 receive any of this &quotsettlement&quot...? I doubt it.
