Clearly these will (hopefully!) not be of any consequence to us:

But...I am worrying about a work trip out of the country on Friday 13th and whether I could be back in time (if needed, which hopefully it won't be!) - does anyone know how they determine which is Match A/Match B and who plays home/away first. My gut feel is that 3rd place is Match A with the home leg second, but I'm not sure.

Anyone know?

Don't the evil Sky decide when they know which teams are in each ?

Home leg 2nd for 3rd and 4th placed teams though.

I also have a company function on Friday 13th. It begins at 8pm and will go on until midnight. Can't get out of it. At least the teams that finish 3rd or 4th are away in the first leg. Not that any of this matters as we are probably going up as Champions.

Its up to Sky.

I am sure they will take into account the distance the fans need to travel and the kick off time.:lolol:

I reckon those dates will be pretty much kept to subject to the police getting involved. Looking at the potential teams involved I don't see any reason why they would change any of these dates. Is there anything going on in Brighton on those dates that PC Balkham might be worried about? That would be the only reason for changing these dates.

The dates won't be changed, but evil sky will decide whether 3rd v 6th is match A or match B.

Sounded right in my head at the time but can see the error of my ways. Thanks for pointing it out and making me look like a :dunce: :thumbsup:

Don't worry - he could have pointed out the split infinitive too, but chose not to. :wink:
