    Wouldn't it be a good idea to delay play-off semi-finals until AFTER 17th May, in order that folk can attend the match.

    Tell Sky to do one if it doesn't suit them.

    We won't have to worry about any of that play off business though as we'll hit automatics ;)

    The roadmap is only *if* certain conditions are met. It is not guaranteed *at this time* that folks will be able to attend games on 18th May, therefore the FA cannot delay the games on the basis of something that might not be allowed to happen - and more clarity on this will only appear around early May.

    Imagine if the FA delayed the play-offs until the week later and cases increased rapidly in April after kids return to school, and parts of the country are in a tier that restricts attendance - one side could have a big advantage over the other. Or the dates slipped due to an increase in cases - and 50+ local authorities are currently seeing cases not falling significantly while in lockdown.

    I'm not saying it won't happen, but that is a decision that can't be taken yet.

    Dear EFL don't let the government send the schools back on March 8th. It will cause another spike and we'll be back to square one. Why are they testing the waters with people's lives?
