Not sure it can be 3pm on the Saturday due to the TV blackout. 5 or 5:30 maybe. Crazy that it's not been decided yet.
Is there anyone out there ...

I saw it was half 5 but now I can’t find the proof
it yet to be confirmed but it did say on sky sports football live that it starts on tv at 4:30 but hope that wrong and it 3pm kick off
4 weeks tonight we will be away in the 1st leg 8th May 8pm unless the incredible happens and we get 2nd place or top at 750-1. 2nd leg home Tues 8pm 13th May, final 24th May time ?
Sky decided there's only 3 in the race for automatic promotion.
Oh how I'd laugh if we pulled off a miracle and got top 2

Yeah absolutely. It's just incredibly unlikely to the point of not even being worthy of including us in the discussion. I agree with sky. Been that way some time. All good though. Play offs is where we deserve to be and it's been a good season.
Leeds and Sheff United both play 12.30 today
Expect Leeds to win, Sheff Unitsd it’s hard to say
We won’t pick up the required points, anyway. Just not good enough to win 5 or 6 on the spin

Even we did , I don't see both of them losing the next 5 games.
It's not, it wouldn't actually be a miracle so it's not beyond a miracle. It would certainly be extraordinary and isn't likely to happen. I don't expect it to happen and, though I can't speak for him, don't think Chunks believes it will.
But you're both missing the point which is that Sky, and other media, don't usually get to decide what will happen. As with the three relegated PL teams they show them respect by not declaring they're actually down until it's certain.
We all 'knew' Southampton were relegated months ago and, whereas fans and forums can say what they believe, the media traditionally and politely avoids stating it as a fact.
I remember you, and others, congratulating Leeds on promotion, after they'd beaten us and Sheff Utd, which is fair enough. You're entitled to give your opinion, for what it's worth, but the media isn't just there as pundits, they're supposed to report facts and the news.
It's not a big deal, I couldn't care less and agree 100% that we're where we deserve to be.
I said at the start the very best I was expecting was a trip to Wembley and I doubt anyone ever expected automatic promotion.
What I'd like now is the arses to drop out of Leeds and Sheff Utd to demoralise them before the playoffs, between them they've won two of their last six games so they're well on their way. If we could finish a few points behind that would put a marker down. If Burnley beat Sheff Utd the post-match 'Wilder-beest' interview would be absolutely hilarious

Out of the 3 I would rather we play Sheffield United in the final TBH. If we were to get the luxy to pick etc.
One of those three teams is going to feel absolutely crushed in a few weeks as well as their fans.
I agree but I'm not too bothered whoever it is.
The playoff final is quite often more of a lottery than the two legs before it.
Leeds lost to Southampton when their bottle went but James should've equalised when he hit the bar in the last few minutes.
I doubt whether RLB has given it a second thought personally, in his mind it's all about what we do I'd expect.
