    I'm pretty sure it used to be whichever team finished higher in the league (or it was at some point).

    The 2015 FA Cup semi final home team (Villa) was decided on a coin toss so maybe that's how it's done?

    That is trumped by my prediction several months ago that City would be promoted!

    The way Brighton started I'm glad we play Wednesday IF we get through. Wednesday are nowhere near as good as Brighton but that's football.
    Wednesday players were celebrating like they'd got promoted already.

    It could have just been my ears or the tv feed, but the Wednesday fans seemed quiet and nervy until almost full time. Always assuming we get there, but their expected big following could work against them if we get the pressure on early.

    They players seemed to think just getting there was the achievement.

    IF WE DO GET TO WEMBLEY: Now we are used to going to Wembley I hope there wont be a pitch invasion and the players just thank the fans in a restrained way and leave the pitch. If we win at Wembley, that's the time for celebration.

    Aye, even IF we get to Wembley and then even IF we win, it'd be good to remain dignified and acknowledge the Wendies first visit to the new Wembley with an appreciative rendition of 'you've had your day out, now **** off home' at the final whistle.

    Someone **** on the pitch would hardly be a first.

    Next thing you know Leicester will be copying us and start chanting Barcelona we're coming for you.

    Okay so what odds can I get right now on Hull City winning the Premier League title next season? If it's 10,000 to 1 I might risk a tenner.

    I read just last week that the bookies are no longer offering longer odds than 1000-1 for any sporting bet, seems they took a bit of a hammering from Leicester fans. Seems a bit short sighted to me, they may have lost to Leicester fans but they must have won big from the likes of Arsenal, ManU, City etc

    Oh dear.
    I hope everyone goes on the pitch like Watford 2008, I hope everyone makes as much noise as possible, I hope flares go off and there is deafening singing from all parts of the KCOM apart from the away section.

    Celebration nights are few and far between, and you never know when the next will come long (or not...).
    Maybe a show of mass enthusiasm and passion from the fans might stimulate the players, and repair the damage done this season.
    Pictures showing celebrations last decades and show future generations that we as a club had good times. As we know, sadly, the club decided to sulk after the FAC final in 2014 and the greatest sporting feat in the city's history was brushed under the carpet.
    Promotion in 2013 was celebrated by as few people as possible in some sort of bizarre Allam stunt to show he hurt he felt by Geraghty's slight of him. It's all about him, you see.
    Should we get to Wembley and win, you will be politely but firmly ushered out after the presentation.

    Tonight's the night.
