    Actually re-reading it, Uefa will not move the fixture to the UK, so apologies, it's a non-story really.

    That's different what they've just reported on Talksport.

    Makes perfect sense to move it.

    So UEFA definitely won't do it.

    Quite like the idea of 25,000 fans for the Championship playoff final though - that would be enough for ST holders of both clubs there to be guaranteed a ticket - so absolutely no chance of it happening

    Any news on whether we are going to be allowed any fans next Monday yet?

    Congratulations on making the playoffs Barnsley. You can't have any fans at your home game, something to do with Wales and you won't be playing the final at Wembley if you get through, something to do with the Champions League. If you hadn't noticed, we really don't give a flying fk*c about you.
    Yours the FL and FA

    Don’t think we will find out till this Friday. That’s when next Welsh Government update is and that will be for when changes come into effect for Mon 17th.

    The key sentence for me was the implications of a 10 day quarantine for the Uefa delegation if it was in London. Ergo, not gonna happen.

    What if it was in Instanbul? I'm only going off what I listened to earlier. And Jim White is never wrong! He takes after me.

    not read the story, or the reasons for/against it being shifted. I would be mightily pi$$ed off though, if the Championship Play-Offs got affected by it. the irony of the EFL being trampled over, to make way for two of the ESL rebels, would not be lost on me.

    Well thats a bit of a problem when we are playing only 3 days later - or are we going to have to go through the ticket lottery and still not know if you get a ticket whether you can actually use it

    Don't think Turkey is mandating a 10 day isolation period, so no.

    No chance of stadiums being open in Wales in time I wouldn't have thought.

    Delete the first sentence and you'd be more accurate.

    What's up with Tottenham's ground, The Emirates or Twickenham? People have this idea that Wembley is the only large stadium down there.

    Agreed mate. They're only going to have 25k there for final - is that right? Why move a game to a venue that requires another game to be moved? It makes no sense. Wait.... hang on a minute.... this is the FA/UEFA we're talking about isn't it....
