Pearcy Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 As per the title, today's play off first leg has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch. I've never known a play off game been postponed before, what happens next? The second leg is due to be played on Thursday, so I'm guessing they'll rearrange it for early next week. With the final on 19th May that doesn't give the winning team much time to prepare for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 I think that they’ll move the Crawley home game to this Thursday when MK Dons home game is due to be, then move the MK Dons home game to next week. That way MK Dons retain home advantage in the second leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be draining well on Tuesday. Heavily forked on Wednesday then on Thursday, Friday, Saturday they can chill on Sunday. (I’d imagine neutral venue. May even shift it to the Amex) 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 So, was it due to rain over a long period or a massive thunderstorm or something? They have been forecasting them for Hampshire/Sussex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinéadB Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 It's still chucking it down in South London, hopefully the ground is okay to be played tomorrow evening. A massive pain for both sets of fans - especially with the train strikes tomorrow. Then the reverse fixture has been moved to Saturday evening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
