That we have will have been featured on TV for three consecutive live regular league matches. 

I remember when we last played at the Pirelli Calendar in 2021 it was bitter wet and windy and the highlight of the match was a pigeon who continually sat on the pitch undisturbed in the half we were attacking. Luckily it's not a 3pm kick off so he can't make it.

The play-off semis and final are league matches.

I used the word "regular"  to cover myself   but the match isn't showing  NOW - i am certain that it was showing before -- as I had forgotten about the Burton match --- and I did my grovelling to Mrs Coleman.

They also moved the Orient match from the Wednesday to Tuesday but kept the 8pm start - again I saw it. I agin had to get permission changed there.

But the vale Wimbledon match postponed from last Tuesday ?  is live with a 7pm start .
that might be some kind of rule.

As we know the FA wanted both matches played before Feb 3rd.

Officially not. eg appearances and goals scored there don't count as league.

The play-off have been happening every season for about thirty years. How more 'regular' do you want it?

Unbelievable Jeff !!


Funny thing is Orient had a player called  Happe today. are they ever going to boot Wellens (or Wellentens as I call him) out

Amazingly PV will be right up for it on Tuesday.

Play off goals have never counted towards top scorers (either official league run competitions or bets with the bookies) which is official enough for me. Only a handful of teams compete in them which means there’s an imbalance - how can you have one team play more “league” games than another? Clearly a standalone competition to me.

Not sure Tuesdays match will be shown live on Sky as it was an original designated Saturday 3pm fixture

Lots of games on 7th February are 3.01pm kick offs.
I’m wondering whether those games will be ok to view on Sky as they won’t be 3pm Sayurday games.

The blackout rule is for football between 14.45 & 17.15 so kicking off a minute later wouldn’t make a difference.

Ok, thanks.
I just looked up why it is 3.01pm kick off.
It is part of the “every minute matters campaign”, to do with the application of CPR.
