Title: Why are the play offs out of sequence
Post by: Colemans Left Hook on May 25, 2023, 05:16:07 pm
I presume over ther years the divisional play offs go in sequence but haven't taken much notice

either the play off for the Premiership is first   - which this year it is
play off for the Championship next   -which it isn't
then finally the play off for the Division one

either they would be played that way or in reverse order so

Wednesday - Barnsley should be on the Sunday  logically ??  meaning the middle match - but it isn't


I know the "Exclusive Yorkshire" match is Monday but why ??

Guessing the obvious answer must be so rake in more money ??

Normally it goes league 2 play off on the Saturday, league 1 Sunday and championship bank holiday Monday

Not always in order. It has varied considerably which game on which day.
Next season the Championship final is the week after the other 2 finals. Not sure what that’s about unless maybe England have a friendly before the Euros?

Pencil in Sunday 19th May for League 2 final.  Won’t need it of course because super Grant is taking us up as Champions.  :thumbsup:

I thought so too. I had a quick look at last year and it looks like the Lg1 final was the week before the Champ and Lg2, but in 2021 it did follow the Champ / Lg1 / Lg2 sequence!
