You never know, to go on a run which could finish up being W19 D5 L0 and miss out on automatic promotion by a point could deflate them.

They must be due a defeat soon anyway - they aren't Brazil 1970.

Do we know when they are going to confirm whether we are semi-final A or B? The OS says it hasn't been decided yet. Also does anyone know anything about the tickets? Will they be paper tickets, or will ST holders have their card activated once they have paid?
Whoever finishes 3rd is always Semi Final A. We are confirmed as Saturday 5.30 for the away leg and Tuesday 7.45 for the home leg.

Well certainly hope so, as I just booked flights over on Tuesday and back home Wednesday morning!

Not according to the OS

I guess there is a conversation about the teams, journeys, police etc before they can confirm.

We are definitely being charged for the home leg (And Lee Preece was certain it was the Tuesday night at the weekend). Hopefully filling our much bigger ground (all gate receipts are shared amongst the four teams) will mean our rivals are happy for us to discount the tickets.

Not confirmed yet – although the EFL website did say this a week ago, before they changed it back to TBC. I'm guessing the Met Police might have said there's no way they'd sanction Millwall v Cardiff on a Friday night, although that's now massively unlikely. Derby v Fulham on a Friday should be rubberstamped, as well as us away at Boro on the Saturday.

The Met care little and less about kick off times. It doesn't stop Millwall coming out to have a go.

Saw on Twitter earlier someone is trying to start a campaign for everyone to take a scarf, flag, balloons etc to the home leg. Would certainly add to the atmosphere. The Holte looked and sounded superb at that Sheff Utd game when everyone had a scarf.

Boro charged £20 against Brentford a few years ago. Would be good for both clubs to agree pricing of £20 adults and £10 for kids.

Not a playoff game, though. Didn't they riot for hours after losing a playoff game to Small Heath in an evening game? Admittedly a few years back now.

I think in 2002 Millwall drew at the sty and a late Stern John goal won the tie in the second leg at The New Den. Then it kicked off big time after the game. I remember there was also trouble at Millwall when they went out of the play off semis to Derby in 1996.

It's a massive match for us.

We don't need a campaign to bring stuff. You know the atmosphere will be brilliant, anyway.

We're the Saturday and Tuesday. Game A is always 3rd v 6th and is always played first. The only anomaly to this was Norwich v Ipswich that the police moved to the early kick off. Every other 3rd v 6th teams, going back ten years, have been the first kick off.
