    anybody know the dates of the semi finals?

    dont worry, i arent getting ahead or carried away or anything like that.

    trouble is i work in quite a small place, and only 1 person can be off at the same time, and people are already booking holidays and weekends away in may and i need to get a couple pencilled in, just in case it comes to that.

    last thing i need is for us to be away at cardiff, and the date not be free, obviously i would just close up and go anyway, but if i can avoid that and the inevitable sacking, that would be good..

    ive had a quick look and all i can find is the date of the final on the 19th

    For some reason, they don't actually confirm the play-off fixture dates until quite late on, last season it was just three weeks before the games.

    Also, the place you finish obviously affects the dates of the games you're in, last year they were on the 12th, 13th, 16th and 17th of May.

    Its all early this year, the final is the 19th May, with the semi finals the 4/5th and 7/8th (or maybe 8/9th)

    You need a job to pay to go to football , but then you have to work when football is on

    I've never found a solution to that problem yet

    Unfortunately, these games will not take place on a Saturday 3pm due to European law as they are all televised by Sky. The game could therefore be moved to Friday 8pm, Saturday 12:00pm, Saturday 12:45pm, Saturday 5:30pm, Sunday 12:00pm, and then another point on a Sunday, time depending on Sky's Super Sunday that day.

    The second legs are night games during the week traditionally. I think it's going to be hard to determine where (if) we finish in the four places and therefore when and where we play until very close to the actual games. If possible you should take as much of that week off as possible, if possible to have every possibility covered :/

    Automatic promotion would make things easier for me, even if not as much fun.

    I don't think my heart can take the play-offs again!
