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.

It’s a fair way and you have to walk south round the bottom of the stadium and out through the shopping centre if you want to do that. You can also use that route to skip the Wembley way madness but as were the wrong side of the ground you’d have to leave early to beat all the enemy troops going that way and effectively save any time.
 
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.
The EFL considers the Play offs and the League to be two linked but separate competitions. The league had finished and the charge can only relate to the play offs.
SFC only admitted one charge that they broke Rule 127 and 3.4. They were only charged with that against evidence that Middlesborough produced to the EFL in their complaint. That's all that the panel can look at unless there is more evidence produced other clubs, but as there are two competitions Play off and League, the EFL would have announced these as a separate charge, if any further breaches of the rules were to be included.
All of the comparison with Swindon does not work for me. Swindon did not admit their guilt, they did the opposite and they had played the game before they were charged which is the opposite of SFC.
I still hold the view that they broke the rules, but did not have any advantage because they were caught. The results stand and we will play them on Saturday.
If after the game, there is another compliant and charge, that may affect the promotion if SFC win on Saturday.
 
Learned this the hard way for Oasis in the summer.

I already knew well what it’s like, we left during champagne supernova having already been to Heaton a week before, it don’t even feel like many people were leaving within the ground but it was already heaving on Wembley way. We legged it all the way to the station and were one of the last few to get through before the stewards blocked it all off.

The scoundrels always hike their charges during events, mind you I bet it ain't much cheaper outside of the event schedules, London pricing!

So that then removes a points deduction from the potential punishments I would have thought, so big fine only seems most likely.
 
A chairperson who is a lawyer or barrister (presumably well-versed in this sort of thing) another legal specialist, who is a member of the institute or arbitrators, and a sports expert. Says Google AI but it's often wrong. ** Edit ah I see you mean the appeal panel. Not sure. My info was for the original panel. **Further edit. The make-up, ie their respective expertise, stays the same, but they would all be different people on the appeal panel.
Don’t ****ing use it then!
