Bar BS3 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 The Championship final is usually the last one. A dramatic conclusion to the season. This has varied before, on tournament years, but I like it being the last game of the FL season. The only query I’d have is having the most valuable game in world football, played on a pitch that’s had 2 games in the previous 2 days. Although that’s never recently damaged the pitch, so it’s not really a concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denbury Red Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Last season the Championship game was played first due to the World Cup - it allowed players involved in both to have two extra days off to recover - otherwise Championship playoff final has always been on the Bank Holiday Monday.

I don't for one moment imagine we'll finish top six this season, but in the unthinkable event that we did win the playoff final then no, I wouldn't be working at all in the following week. Obviously. It would take at least that long to get back to Bristol through the chemical haze from London. We're Bristol City, we work when we want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Journalist Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Haven’t gone through all the replies, but the order of the finals alternates. The Championship play-off final always goes first in the year that there’s a major international tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there that day if I remember we were 3-1 down, fantastic comeback. though if that was your first game it was I think the first home game of the 70-71 season.
