The play offs.

[Drummond]

I'd rather we played at home on a Saturday evening as opposed to a Tuesday, given how our Tuesday evening home matches have generally panned out this season.

I also liked Jonathan Wilson's suggestion that the playoff semis should be just one leg, at the stadium of the higher placed team. So that league placing gets more of a reward.

They seem to already be 1 leg with the higher placed team at home in the Conference and Conference North/South this year. In fact they’ve completely copied the NFL Playoff format, with 6 teams and the top 2 byed through a round.

They could expand it to the top 20... have a league system and the top team gets promoted.

I like the new Conference system. The one leg format, and byes for the top two, give a genuine advantage to teams based on where they finish. It also keeps the season alive for longer.

I'd like them to adopt it for the Football League.

Our Tuesday night record isn't that bad. Wins v Sunderland, Reading and Cardiff, draws v PNE and Boro.

Of course the QPR game was a black mark but difference will be 40k + whereas we had flat crowds and atmosphere for many of those games.

The Club haven't said anything yet mate..........Keep an eye on the website on Sunday afternoon anytime after about 15:00pm ish

[class-of-82]

cheers mate keep hearing so many things suppose they cant put anything out until matches are finished sunday

From what I understand Villa are waiting to find out who we are up against as the EFL have stipulated a minimum of 2,000 tickets for the away supports.

Hopefully after tomorrow's results it  will become clear and clubs can negotiate on allocations.  Wouldnt surprise me if there was an announcement even tomorrow evening or even Bank Holiday monday.

[Brassneck]

I would imagine that Villa will have held preliminary talks with both Boro and Derby regarding ticketing/pricing and allocations.

It may be that Boro and derby have differed slightly in their approach, which may explain the delay in Villa selling tickets.

[spangley1812]

I think you will find tickets will go on sale on line 2moro for both games.......as someone has said Villa will just be waiting for final confirmation of who they are playing and cant sell anything until that is sorted

Possibly after 17:00pm or 18:00pm - Tickets for the away game will need to be posted by Thurs @ the very latest

Villa have a very short sales window to shift approx 40,000 tickets for both games

Anyone know what the situation is with away scheme members? Will the away leg of the play off be automatically debited and posted out?

I was led to believe that it’ll go to away attendance rather than away scheme first?

The way Derby have looked to move back into form and after a big win today, I am VERY glad we're playing Boro who stunk the place out against Ipswich today despite equalising late. Let Derby and Fulham go hammer and tongs at one another for two legs while we take on PulisBall. Onwards!

Agreed. I just said that Derby have their mojo back, they will be very confident.

[Damo70]

We are better than Boro and if we get to a final against Derby or Fulham, Derby have been pretty poor in recent months despite their late rally and Fulham will hopefully have the hangover of missing out on second place.
