Fans of Hull will also benefit the most if they’re playing Boro rather than Southampton.

If they can’t guarantee when the game will be played just promote Hull and save all the bother.

And they inevitably would. They'd be insane not to.

Aye, that’s who I mean. Statement’s on about the now confirmed kick off time, then says it might be changed.

Worrabout Hull fans arrangements in London ?
They seem like they have been forgotten in all of this

Have the hearing a lot sooner than next Tuesday for starters. I know its out of EFL control, but they are going to be the ones taking all the blame for it.
It is a shit show all round caused by the action of one team and they need punished heavily for it. I think the likelihood is that they will be punished heavily, because it will have affected the EFL's reputation and from a financial standpoint as well, they will lose out on ticket sales straight away because no one will know until Tuesday what is happening.

They’ve got to try and get it sorted immediately like. Apparently the hearing is Tuesday at the latest. They ought to think about the fans for once and get the f*** on with it.

If they go with the date it will be Southampton in the final as both teams could appeal leaving no time for alternative arrangements. IMO.

Any chance the EFL could actually hurry it up, fans will be booking travel and accommodation and possibly taking time off work for the game

Hull fans forgotten about ?
As you say some workplaces are easier than others to change/alter holidays
Whoever they play -give them a goal head start as recompense

Classic indication those making these decisions have no idea about fans or the time, distance and money it takes for those clubs and supporters not next door to Wembley to sort out their travel.

The right thing to do is for Southampton to withdraw from the playoffs and mark their own homework - a proper investigation and outcomes to be made public. The football league can then act more swiftly and make a decision on who plays in the final - if anyone - and Southampton will be in a position to negotiate a less punishing points deduction/fine etc for the start of next season. By not acting, Southampton are making the situation worse for thousands of fans, the ruling body and the game of football.

Best post on the threadWere there any warning signs that trespassers would be reported to authorities and any benefits from watching people have a kick about ? Did it state it was private land owner by Middlesbrough FC ? No cameras or filming allowed ? 46 Championship matches played. How many variations can you have FFs !Boro had more than enough chances to wrap up the game in first 45 mins at the Riverside !

They have confirmed that they don't know when it will take place.
Appearing decisive without making decisions and making sure that the fans really matter.
