Poor form for releasing the date so late in my opinion, Any reason why?

my best guess is anytime between 9-19 May. The dates will be set by Sky and EFL.

Don't they normally take place Tues or Wed in both weeks following the last league game ?

not necessarily. Sky likes to have them across as many days as possible so they can show them all. There has certainly been some on Thursdays before, as well as odd times at weekends.

So even though the average fan has had an expensive season and been messed about by Sky from August to May it is beyond the realms of Sky to treat the average fan decently and provide the dates well in advance? This way the average fan could make reasonable adjustments to his or her lifestyle to support their team at a such part of the season.
I would class the average fan as a customer but to Sky a customer is the person who buys what Sky sells irrespective of the inconvenience to those that are part of their package.

I would have thought the police would have a say, but of course they will not have a say until the fixtures are known.
Those accustomed to privilege may feel that equality is oppression.

Last season, both first legs were played on the Saturday after the season ended, so assuming the same this year would be on 11th May.
7v4 was at 3pm, and 6v5 at 7.30pm.
The second legs were on the following Thursday (4v7) and Friday (5v6), both at 7.45. Equivalent dates this year would be 16th and 17th May.

We are unlikely to finish 6th or 7th, so if we finish 4th or 5th our first leg will be away (at the moment to FGR or Exeter) on a Thursday or Friday night. That should be fun!

Bit harsh that "away goals do not count"

I take it the picture the Chad used to promote these dates was a thank you to Conrad for his part in us teetering on the brink of the play offs?

I think they should count.....a goal is a goal..... imagine winning 0-10 in the first leg, and losing 1 nil in the return.....be a shame to go out if away goals don’t count

In that case it would be 0-0! Good job they introduced penalty shoot outs. Although next goal is the winner was tried for a bit.
