I was chatting to a mate of mine yesterday and we were discussing how big the Play-off final is for a club, a one off game to get into the Champions League would be bigger?, but cant be many others? | | | |  |

We will never be in the position to be challenging for the PL title or even Europa League qualification. The odds of playing at either showpiece cup final are also very long, so yes, for a club our size, this as big as it's ever going to get. | | | |

This or a cup final is as good as it will ever get for us so make the most of Saturday | | | |

Not for me , the prize for this game is Rangers being prominent in the news for the next year , the biggest teams in the country with the some of the best players in the world playing on our pitch.
The buzz when you come out of the station with the touts and TV crews , sellout every home game and the chance to watch the team in some of the iconic stadiums of the country.
For our overseas fans reliable streams of every game home and away and the chance to play Chelsea twice .
I Know about the kick off times and stuff , but if you are at the top of the Championship you end up playing at odd times any way . | | | |

Agree 100 %
Even the fa cup has lost its glamour
Not saying it's right but to be playing in the premier league every week on the global stage is better than winning the cup only for everybody to forget who won it a couple of months later
Only for the fact it was mentioned last week, I would have had to really think about who the league cup holders are never mind the runners up | | | |

FA Cup is probably bigger but if you lose that the fall out isn't so bad, the ramifications for this are pretty big for us.
Plus we get more tickets for a playoff final | | | |

Cambridge Utd manager said for Non league clubs their play off to get into the FL is , to them, just as huge as this final to us.
Relatively speaking, non League to League 2 just as huge as Championship to PL . | | | |

Last time we were at Wembley I was 2. By that ratio, next time we get there I'll be 58. I don't care about the wider footballing world, for me this is the biggest game ever | | | |

People remember Fa Cup winners nobody remembers what team finished 17th in such and such season
After 1 or 2 seasons in the Premier league you will realise for a club like us it isn't really that much fun | | | |

I would take an FA Cup win over anything, including winning the premier league. The biggest and most famous domestic cup in the world, and at Wembley. That absolutely pisses all over playing in the Premiership, which I couldnt give a toss about. | |

Don't you have to win more than 1 FA cup game in a season to win the cup?
Our only chance is to get byes until the final itself,and then play for penalties from the start. | | | |

It's well known that from a purely financial perspective the playoff final to get in the Premier League is the biggest game in world club football. | | | |

Biggest game in our history. For all TFs claims of financial harmony, the ramifications of failing to get promoted will be huge. IMO of course. | | | |

whatever happens QPR will still be here on May 25th and we'll have a full house for whoever the first game is next season in August
Of course if we lose then we face some serious problems and a probable transfer embargo next January but it doesn't have to be the end of the world for us, clubs have bounced back from this before. [Post edited 20 May 2014 13:45]

This will definitely be the biggest game I have been to, or may ever go to, get to take my son too which is the icing on the cake. Now hoping we don't balls it up!! | | | |

Palace had a turnover of £14m their last season in the Championship; their TV money alone for this season just gone was £73m. | |

The evidence seems to suggest that financially the Premier league is a passport to more and bigger debt! | |

I purposely didnt mention the money .
For me the FA cup lost its gloss when they started to play the semis at Wembleyl .
Then they have the balls to promote it on the back of tradition . [Post edited 20 May 2014 16:34]

It doesn't have to be. But it does move the financial goal posts. | |

To answer the OP.
This is one of the biggest games but it is played every season. For us this is more important than the other play offs have been, but for neutrals I don't think it compares to Barca-Atletico last week, Liverpool - Arsenal in 89(?).
The last game of the season with the two sides battling it out to be The Champions has to be the biggest.
Back in 75-76 it looked a possibility at one stage that we would finish equal with 'pool on points & goal average. The football league had taken soundings on the possibility of using Wembley for a play off.
Now, that would have been big! | | | |

Is it normal that the play-off final is on the same day as the Champions League final? | | | |
