Don't we need a third voting option at the head of this thread for the poll? 'Steve Gibson's legal team' or similar?
Of course they will. People have bought trains and hotels without a ticket for anything, the EFL cant be blamed for that.
I think that supporters would point to the finals date being in the calendar for a year and that all EFL coverage pointed to 23 May as being the date of the final and that having reached the final, the supporters had very right to assume, expect and believe the final would be on that date,
The EFL did not say the date of any final would be announced in due course.
Apparently we've been told to be prepared to play it on the following Wednesday.
So that says it’s definitely a four thirty kickoff on the Saturday against Southampton…
…unless it’s not.

But Southampton absolutely can, and that is where legal letters should be be addressed. Use Grapple Law to draft them.
They could have ‘confirmed’ that straight after the second play off…seeing as how they haven’t actually confirmed it anyway
EFL Statement: Sky Bet Championship Play-Off Final
The EFL can today provide an interim update on the ongoing disciplinary proceedings involving Southampton following Tuesday’s Championship Play-Off Semi-Final Second Leg.
The Independent Disciplinary Commission hearing will take place on or before Tuesday, 19 May.
The exact date remains under discussion and is expected to be confirmed shortly.
The Commission will issue its decision as soon as possible following consideration of the relevant submissions and evidence.
As the proceedings are being conducted by an Independent Disciplinary Commission, the EFL does not control the proposed timetable.
Notwithstanding this, the EFL continues to plan on the basis that the Championship Play-Off Final will take place as scheduled on Saturday 23 May, with the kick-off time confirmed as 4.30pm.
Supporters should, however, be aware that the outcome of the disciplinary proceedings may yet result in changes to the fixture.
The EFL has a number of contingency plans should they be required, which also includes consideration of any appeal process, if required.
Ticket Sales for Championship Play-Off Final
Hull City and Southampton will share further information on their respective sales processes later today.
Sales will be subject to usual terms and conditions, and in the circumstances, fans are encouraged to pay particular attention to the terms and conditions.
Likewise, supporters should consider the situation when booking any associated travel and accommodation.
This decision follows ongoing coordination with the Clubs to ensure that on-sale arrangements can be implemented as soon as practicable.
The League recognises that this complex situation has caused concern and disruption for supporters, particularly those making travel arrangements, and will continue to provide as much clarity as possible.
However, in these clearly exceptional circumstances, the League considers this to be the most appropriate course of action.
This is an awful situation for the EFL, if they feel Southampton are guilty then surely the only outcome is to make sure they don't get promoted?
Which given a game has to be played means Middlesbrough are put in the final
Which given a game has to be played means Middlesbrough are put in the final
It's a right mess isn't it. Sounding more and more like it's going to get postponed and we'll all be a bit screwed.
So that means we basically purchase tickets at our own risk?
It's an awful situation for the Club and Supporters more, at least the EFL can or could make a decision about Southampton and the game.
