Excellent. Assuming it does go ahead on Saturday, that will be a place to head to. However, don't assume anything.

I don’t think reinstating ‘boro will be considered.
They’ll make a decision, Southampton (I like “Cheathampton” someone mentioned earlier) will appeal. The game will go ahead pending the outcome of the appeal.
Whatever the result I feel we’re going up, just hope we do it by destroying them,

Surely they should have put the spy on the team of the week just for bants
That article leads to an assumption that the only charge against Southampton is spying on Boro.
Is that really the case? If so, how can the information about it being 'systemic spying' be excluded?
Also, why are they only sitting tomorrow? I assumed they've already been sitting, but were commiting to delivering a verdict by tomorrow. Crazy if that is the case given the short timeframe until the final.
Other teams didn't want to get involved apparently.
This could make a huge difference
They aren’t going to kick Soùthampton out now, not at this late stage, points deduction and a fine mean nothing if they go up, the only other thing they could do is a very long, 2 years?, ban from football for the manager and all the coaching staff effective immediately, if he’s on the touchline on Saturday, the EFL will have given the green light to cheating.
This is why I said **** it, and booked a hotel instead. Can't be arsed stressing about missing the train home
The EFL are totally complicit here. Not only did they put a rule in place without a penalty... they put a rule in place that actually allows the very thing that the rule endeavoured to offset.
The rule should have read. 'any team found spying at any time on an opposing team for any immediate or future matches will suffer the following sanctions.'
The rule must have been drafted after a liquid lunch paid for by a previously imposed fine.

Also, FWIW you get considerably less people heading west than you do going the other way. I imagine it will be much quicker to get a train heading in the wrong direction, get off after 1 stop, and catch a train heading back past Wembley
So, Middlesbrough were not allowed to represent their case to the Adjudication Committee, the damning evidence has likely not been included in the case against Southampton, only the EFL and Southampton are allowed to appeal any decision. .... go figure
What does Azeez get in for? He’s done **** all across the two legs.
There's an opportunity for an entrepreneur to shift a load of binoculars to fans for the full football experience at Wembley.
Please tell me we're going to pass around some giant inflatable ones at the game.
It's screaming out for it.

Wembley Park is always best for arriving, it's close but mainly because you get to walk down Wembley Way to the stadium. I've always gone back from Wembley Central which is 20 minutes walk but the queues are less (but still substantial so there'll probably be a 10-15 minute wait there). I'd be interested if anyone has tried getting back from Wembley Park and how long it took to get to the platform?
I've seen this mentioned on a fan site as well, but it's nonsense. Google Map shows it as a 40 minute walk from our end of the ground.
Given all the potential headaches flowing from various decisions, I'm wondering if they might just say not enough time to make a decision, need more info, final goes ahead and decision given at a later date. Then they chuck them out if they win while hoping that they don't.
I read a piece today that said if it was multiple teams affected then reinstating Boro wouldn't be fair and it would be points. If it was only Boro them reinstating them was fairest. Not sure I agree but that was their thinking.
You'd think so. But of course we had a game called off with 15 minutes to go so nothing would surprise me.
Better than a 90 minute wait being corralled into a train at Wembley Park, no? I appreciate some folk might struggle walking that far though...
Just gad quick look and can't see any giant inflatable binoculars for saleThere's an opportunity for an entrepreneur to shift a load of binoculars to fans for the full football experience at Wembley.
