Booked a refundable Air BnB property in London yesterday for the play-off final weekend, anyone else planning ahead ,just in case ?

Thought about it. Trains likely to be a nightmare with it being bank holiday weekend though so difficult to plan ahead.

And ridiculously expensive.

Trains from £25 from Leeds but timetable not confirmed, so could be subject to disruption from engineering works.

Good shout, perhaps will bite me on the arse but at least i can cancel

I did think about it, but don't want to tempt fate, so didn't bother

Me too, but be a scramble to get sorted if left to last minute.

I dunno, if tempting fate means we’ve gone up automatically, it might be worth the risk!!

I was more thinking if I booked it, we'd miss automatic. Either way I'm not risking it

What blatherwickstattoos would say - we might not make the final.

If its a 3 o clock ko hopefully there and back on train.

It is according to this:

Crap time really, presumably because there are PL fixtures that day.

Less time for people to drink so there is sense in it.

People planning to get the train from Leeds need to be mindful that this could clash with their Championship victory parade. There's likely to be hundreds of thousands of people travelling into Leeds from all directions so the city could see severe network delays on the trains coming in and out of Leeds

Kick off time hasn’t been set yet but doubt it would be at 12.30pm. There’s no PL fixtures that day, they’re all on the Sunday. More likely late afternoon like the league one was last year.

Let's leave Wembley to Sunderland & Sheffield United, it's not our problem!

No need to book anywhere.
We'll beat Sheff Utd to 2nd spot
Looking forward to my day at the Turf V Millwall and the promotion celebrations.

What about the scenario of the play off final V them lot down the road?

Are you not looking at the kick off times for the final days fixtures?

Nope, it definitely says the Championship play off final is 12:30.

The other two are 15:00.

There's no mention in that link of the play off final kick off times, final day of the regular season all kick off at 12:30 and play offs themselves are mostly evening 8pm and 7:45pm.

You and Bordeaux are correct…..

I’d Googled the play off final date and this came up first - I’d assumed that it was referencing the final time / date, but as you say, that’s the last game of the season. Apologies for any confusion, my mistake.

I’d assume it will be a three o’clock for the final. They ideally are, aren’t they?

Same here!

No worries.
