For anyone who is interested (yes, I know there is still a long way to go and anything can happen, but people do have holidays and commitments etc), the play-offs dates previously have panned out like this:
Not an exact science at all you will see, but usually the first legs of the play-offs are within 7 days of the end of the season.
This season ends on Sunday 8th May. First leg of play-offs should be Wednesday 11th May/Thursday 12th/Friday 13th/Saturday 14th.
Second leg could therefore quite possibly be Sunday 15th/Monday 16th/Tuesday 17th May/Wednesday 18th.
It does vary a bit, but here are the last few seasons.
Last season the season finished on Sunday 4th May and the first legs of the play-offs were Wednesday 7th May (both ties). 2nd legs were over 2 days, Sunday 10th and Monday 11th.
So play-offs within 3 days from the end of the season.
The season before that the season finished on Sunday 3rd May and the first legs of the play-offs were on Saturday 10th May (later this year for some reason) and the second legs on Tuesday 13th and Thursday 15th.
First legs this time were 7 days after the last game.
Year before that, season finished on 27th April and first legs of the play-offs were on Friday 3rd and Saturday 4th. Second legs were both on Monday 6th.
Play-off first legs 5 days after end of season.
Year before that the season finished on the 5th May and the play-off first legs were on Friday 11th and Saturday 12th May. 2nd legs were Monday 14th and Tuesday 15th May.
Again 5 days after the end of the season.
Year before, end of season Saturday 7th May. Play-off first legs, Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th. 2nd legs Wednesday 18th and Thursday 19th.
First legs 7 days after the last game of the season.
Didn't realise what a quagmire it was and now wish I hadn't bleedin started!
Also if we had a home leg first, how would the ticket office cope with selling 32,609 tickets in 3 days?
Yep. 29th May!

That will changeWe are the only current Football League team to have never played in a play off
Reckon we'd have 18.000 ish &the rest will be disappointedAlso if we had a home leg first, how would the ticket office cope with selling 32,609 tickets in 3 days?

no idea, but i can guarantee someone will post on here "i dunno how people are finding it hard to get tickets, i bought mine online like normal"
lol
Along with the
"I chose to collect and got here at 2.57 and there was a massive queue".
no doubt about it!
i wonder how they would sell tcikets. obv ST and half ST first. then what? straight to general sale? would be a slap for those that got match package tickets in bulk. the club pushed them so really should reward them imo.

If we have to do it then it should be ST,half ST and match package fans (all the same in my eyes as a st holder) all at the same time but the match package fans could only have spare seats and not st ones, really there should be plenty to go around as they will be full price and we are not filling the ground every week.

Naively didn't even consider play-off dates when booking our holiday to France. Such issues are not usually relevant. We get back the day before the final. Potential close shave.
Just keep fingers crossed there isn't a ferry strike

If 14000 pay on the gate,KO will be delayed until after the 2nd leg.14k pay on the gate the kick off would be delayed for about 2 hours as they all go through three gates

Don't want to tempt fate talking about it now, but I think it is wise to look at the scenario in terms of dates etc.
I know someone yesterday said they were away on holiday for the play-off final.
Season ends on the 8th May and the play-off final is on the 29th May.
My concern is when the play-off dates will be. My daughter is performing down London on Sunday 15th. Obvious concern is if that is one of the two play-off legs.
Anyone else got possible clashes? Or booked a holiday that they might well live to regret?
I would be devastated if we made it and I missed out.
A long way off yet, but arrangements for other stuff could well be being made now, as is in my case.
Do they ever take into account ticket receipts or stubs? I haven't bought any kind of package but will have 7 or 8 ticket stubs by the end of the reason I reckonIf we have to do it then it should be ST,half ST and match package fans (all the same in my eyes as a st holder) all at the same time but the match package fans could only have spare seats and not st ones, really there should be plenty to go around as they will be full price and we are not filling the ground every week.
