Thank you for your patience while we await confirmation of the kick-off time for our Sky Bet Championship Play-Off Final.
We know many of you have contacted the Ticket Office in recent days, and we wanted to provide supporters with as much information as possible ahead of sales opening.
Full details, including confirmed sale dates and kick-off time, will be communicated in due course. Until then, we kindly ask supporters to refrain from contacting the Ticket Office while final details are being confirmed.
We appreciate your continued patience and support.
Little part of me misses Cortese for this kind of thing. That would be box office...!
What I am interested in is assuming we don’t get kicked out - what will all these rent-o-gobs in the media and football content creators who’ve been whipping up a storm for views and clicks do. Will they double down? Or will they just let it pass and wait for new stories?
I’m talking about the numerous people across the spectrum of commenters who’ve gone as far as to claim this is “the worst form of cheating possible in the modern game” (such as the video Magic linked yesterday). When it clearly isn’t and doesn’t even come close
Boro won’t let it go easily but what about all the others? The ones who seem to know that loudly calling for the harshest possible sanctions is what will get people to tune in

When Gibson says they can .
Nothing coming from the EFL, shouldn't they be clarifying the situation?
Just noticed that one of the EFL Directors is Neil Bausor - Middlesborough, that may put us at a disadvanage!

Think there might be a horse's head involved
Not really. We said we took it down as we are supposed to put it up the same time as Hull. Hull still haven't put theirs up yet so we haven't either.
It’s an independent panel because we were never going to come to terms with a punishment Boro would accept. Because they also want rewarding for a tie they knew they couldn’t win (but are bastions of sportsmanship and fair play apparently)
Only EFL issue is that I still think they should be at least able to give a steer as to the potential max punishment (and minimum punishment). And as a result be able to take expulsion from the playoffs off the table. And haven’t. Independent or not. Surely this panel doesn’t have unlimited punishment power.
It's not the Independent Panel I was talking about, it's the inside information and influence of the Director of the EFL itself.
Maybe the ticket delay is that they are giving all the tickets to Hull as a punishment to us.
Edit: does anyone know how many season ticket holders we have?

Lol in the time I asked, I then asked AI and it calculated the same taking into account away fans, hospitality and club officials.

Yeah I did some digging too and saw a figure of 20k mentioned but the club keep the official number under wraps apparently.
AI assumed that we sold out the ST as there is a waiting list so then counted down from 32k

The reason I ask is that as I didn’t go the semi I have no aways - even though I bought a ticket but then transferred it to my mate - he now has that. So if we want to sit together (lol he probably doesn’t ) we have to wait until it goes to season ticket holders. I estimate then season ticket holders with aways be around 23k so if we get 35k there will be around 12k to pick from.
