Play Offs 09:52 - May 17 with 61397 views | TomS | Surely the only team that can stop Brentford from getting promoted is Brentford. Looking at the form table, Wycombe have a better record in their final five matches than all of the other three clubs in the Play Offs, and they got relegated. Momentum is everything in the Championship, can the serial chokers keep their composure this time around? | | | | |
Play Offs on 20:16 - May 22 with 4580 views | Northernr | Must say after the Bournemouth shambles I enjoyed watching Michael Appleton turn that game around at half time, no idea how he managed that as they didn’t get out of their penalty area for the first 45. Scowen loves that penalty doesn’t he? | | | |

Agreed, Swansea v Barnsley was dire, and Blackpool look a decent side. I can't believe Barnsley beat us twice and scored six goals in the process. They were dreadful. I still think (and hope) Swansea will cause Brentford problems in the final. | | | |
Play Offs on 08:18 - May 23 with 3900 views | TGRRRSSS | DIdnt we often struggle againt the up and at em hoofing a lot more than the better sides last season? Even prior to Christmas we got a few decent results against the better and more attractive looking teams. Called it wrong on the Lincoln game I'm pleased to say, but on the 1st half it was like Lincoln players had never met before. I wonder if they initially struggled a bit with the noise at SOL after the closed grounds for a year. | | | |

Disgraceful. 21k at the FA Cup final, more time moves past, we move closer to restrictions lifting, 10k for the play off final. There's a lot of fcking idiots in charge atm. | | | |

Just had a message from the club saying I can purchase my ticket tomorrow and we have just under 4000 allocation which is outrageous considering both cup finalists got more than double that only a week ago.Also unlike yesterday when groups of 6 could sit together there has to be a seat distance between fans.This looks like being a crap experience after yesterday’s fantastic day in our new stadium yes the result helped but despite some of the Lego land stuff it’s an excellent stadium and I was in the away end so witnessed what your view of the ground will be like and you won’t be disappointed the acoustics are impressive. | | | |

Hopefully we'll see for ourselves next season Don't know why they are doing their best to diminish your play-off final experience, though. | | | |

I certainly don't like this decision, but I have had the logic explained to me. The FA Cup final was one of the government "trial events" that allowed for a higher attendance than the current regulations allow. The play offs do not have that status & so have to meet the rules, which I believe is the lower of 10,000 or 25% of the capacity. | | | |

Hadn’t the government already said that status would be applied to the Champions League final if it was moved, to the same ground, on the same day. Just call it a fcking trial event if you need to. It’s bullsht. I’d be fuming if it was us.

absolutely. i think I've made it quite evident that I really don't like this manifestation of brentford, but as a football fan i can only have empathy with their, and swansea's, fans over this. | | | |

Will Bournemouth need to get rid of some more big earners? Hard to imagine Danjuma and Solanke going through another Championshio season. | |

So 2 household groups of say 8 people can go and sit inside at a pub yet the same people outdoors at Wembley will have to sit 2 seats apart each yet if you go to Snooker for a World FInal every seat can be taken up with no distancing whatsoever. Hmmm Wembley holds 90000 but yet only 7800 Swansea and Brentford fans are allowed yet 21000 for the Cup Final whilst we were still in Full Lockdown conditions. Was Boris bullied by the Football boys at Eton during the Wall game | | | |

How are the Swansea fans supposed to get there - using socially-distanced public transport? As has been discussed on here previously, sitting in the open air of a stadium is not a major transmission risk, but travelling to it might be. | | | |

Getting fans in for the FA Cup final, England games, Premier League and Champions League finals are headline grabbing vote winners for the government. The Playoff final less so is the sad reality | | | |
