Match Day Thread Play Off Final. Hull City v Boro

[SW3 Chelsea Tiger]

if it happens.... EVERYBODY and I mean EVERYBODY who has spent hard earned on hotels, trains etc... send the EFL an invoice. When they dont respond, go to MONEYCLAIMONLINE.GOV.UK then get bailiffs if necessary.

But won’t the EFL claim that tickets not released / for sale so supporters acted at their own risk

The independent hearing into 'Spygate' will take place on Friday to decide the fate of Southampton's promotion hopes — a commission made up of three legal experts is expected to hold the meeting in London.

Yes that's exactly what they'll do. Which is a ****s trick.

 

[pierredelafranchesca]

Wonder what mental state the Southampton players/manager will be in, if/when this game finally goes ahead

backs to the wall, siege mentality.....could work for them

The EFL and PL have never compensated any fans for a fixture move and they're not about to start now.

certainly is a ****s trick, but legally there's no recourse anyone can claim against them as they have yet to sell tickets or announce KO time

SpyGate hearing date set as Southampton face expulsion & play-off final at risk

Hull City have reached the Championship Play-off final and should face Southampton - but their participation is in major doubt following the spying allegations levelled at them by semi-final opponents Middlesbrough

Send those claims to Southampton FC in duplicate.

If it does get moved, I could see Acun personally offering to compensate fans who have made bookings

 

[tigermaul]

The worst outcome would be a delay and Middlesbrough replacing if it means Hackney would be fit in time.

 

[GlassHalfHull]

It’s all Boro’s fault now anyway. If they’d just done the decent thing and won on Tuesday none of this would be a problem.

Have the EFL actually made any official statement regarding the final

Nothing that I’ve seen. Just the statement from city asking for patience

I think the EFL are using the question over the KO time , to give them space for the lawyers to work out what to do.

 

[originallambrettaman]

City have requested to have David Akintola re-registered by the EFL in place of Eliot Matazo. They are awaiting a decision.

My two penneth….

I guess I hadn’t been taking the spygate advantage angle that seriously until I just read a post from a Millwall fan that resonated.

Basically, he said that if Millwall had known in advance (via spying) that we were going to go five at the back on Monday night they would have set up their starting 11 very differently. As such, the outcome of the game could have been very different.

If the investigation finds this spying business has been a systemic practice since Ekhert took charge then Southampton deserve everything coming their way.

That comment from the Millwall fan puts it in to pesperctive as to how much the result of a game could be affected by a an incident such as the Southampton Spying.

They'll be fine. This will help them

They must think we are all stupid.

 

[pierredelafranchesca]

out of interest.....how many subs are we allowed on the bench for the play off final? Is it different to the league?
