Frustrating as that to me meant free entry. Cards will be needed should you purchase a ticket would have been the sensible wording!! We know the game is on the Tuesday so why they can't just announce pricing is a mystery! No we don't. The news item on the website has play off matches A and B- and these have not yet been confirmed as either 3rd v 6th or 4th v 5th.

These pairings will be reversed for the second leg. "In the Semi-Finals, the first leg shall be of 90 (ninety) minutes duration. If the aggregate scores are level at the end of 90 (ninety) minutes in the second leg, extra time will be played. "If the scores remain level at the end of extra time the tie will be determined by the taking of kicks from the penalty mark, in accordance with the Laws of Association Football. Away goals do not count.

The Brum Mail is the only place confirming which fixture is A and which is B. Usual practise is - A is 6th v 3rd B is 5th v 4th ‘highest placed play off team is fixture A ‘’the only proviso for previous change in order has been on police advice mainly when 2 teams from the same city are against each other , that cannot happen in this case . ie - Had we finished 3rd and blues finished 6th then it’s likely our play off would have been switched to the earlier Saturday slot on police advice .

thejoker Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I’m dreading the playoffs. Just thinking about them gives me butterflies, and we’ve got 2 weeks until the first leg. It’s going to be horrendous to watch especially if we reach the final. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Not a lot of recovery time between those first couple of playoff games are there? I can see us having some tired legs out there when the second game comes along but I guess it will be the same for both clubs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 We can leave Boro with a point or better and then destroy them at Villa Park. So glad away goals don't count in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
