I know, I know. The season is far from over and once we find ourselves in the playoffs (!) we then have to get to the final. But, if it's not at the New Wembley, where would you rather have it?

my vote goes for Coventry's new home.

From a purely practical perspective, I'm not sure that Wembley should even be considered. Why use a 90,000-capacity venue when one of 40,000 would suffice?

My non-Wembley vote would also go to Coventry.

But the status of Wembley as the &quotHome of Football&quot does make it the emotional first choice.

Emirates Stadium, but I'd rather have it at Wembley if we are in the play offs. I still think we will overtake D&ampR

I'd quite like it to be a Leicester's new ground, seeing as I was a City fan when I was a wean.

:lol:

Wouldn't exactly be the most eco efficient match ever, 40,000 go to Spain versus 1 comes to England.

The Britannia

Probably the only time I will get to see my godson and a football match in the same trip.

Yeah, but it has got to come to an end one day!

Any decent stadium half way between the two finalists.

On the other hand, Bournemouth so we can have a day at the seaside aswell.

Far too much fate being tempted here.

But just to throw another name into the ring: St Mary's, Southampton. Or Pride Park, so I can go back to my favourite pre-football pub

If we were given a guarantee of getting through the semi, would you prefer to go to the play-off final at Wembley or go up as champions and spend the 20th May shopping with the missus...?
