This may be a stupid question or it may have been addressed already, but can anyone tell me why the Championship Final is on a Monday afternoon this year? 27th.Am assuming there's something else on at Wembley on the Saturday, but it ain't the FA Cup final as that's the 18th.

I think the Championship final sometimes gets moved to the Saturday in a tournament year to allow extra preparation time for the World Cup or Euros.

Do the bookings get wiped for the play offs or does McGinn's yellow card tight rope continue until the end of the season?

He is on 13 and, if he gets 15, he'll get a 3 game ban which will include the play offs. The slate is clean come the first leg of the play offs.

I see that both semis are on the same day (Sat 11th May), but the 'A' game is the early kick-off, and 'B' game is the late.However, do we know which is the 'A' & which is the 'B'? I would assume 3rd v 6th is the 'A' & 4th v 5th is the 'B', but does anyone have the definitive answer?Apologies if someone's already said elsewhere
