League 1 and 2 finals are weekend before… likely that’s when the second legs would be for championship… I really hope it happens, just to see the cock up |  |

Obviously if we are in both the playoff final and the FA Cup final, it's more of a problem! [Post edited 8 Jan 2024 21:24]

They have been for a few years now. Just like 1992, I reckon we will face the winners of Liverpool and Bristol Rovers in the fifth round. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Nicked from Twitter… on 21:45 - Jan 8 with 3071 views | PhilTWTD | What if the two teams that reach the play-off final also reach the FA Cup final? One big showdown for the FA Cup and a place in the Premier League! |  | |  |
Nicked from Twitter… on 22:42 - Jan 8 with 2754 views | itfcjoe | I've backed all of the top 4 in Champ to win the cup each way (i.e. to win or lose in the final) at silly odds.....can see that happening but it'd likely be Leicester out of anyone! All 4 got a decent draw tonight where will all be favourites to qualify |  |

Play just once. The winner gets promoted, losers ribbons go on the cup. |  |

Yeah that’s what I put it down to, but still, no idea what they’d do if a team was in both finals |  |

Nicked from Twitter… on 09:14 - Jan 9 with 2036 views | _clive_baker_ | It's unlikely of course, but it's not impossible when you consider that a few of Ipswich, Southampton, Leeds, WBA and Cov will likely be in the last 16 of the FA Cup, and 1 of those highly likely to be in the playoff final. Great FA cup draw for us. Home was a priority, but to have a game where we can heavily rotate and potentially bed in new signings (if not cup tied), while still having such a good chance to progress is ideal. Not to mention the additional revenue of a full house, £120k prize money and a potential 5th round tie to come. Who knows, if the draw is kind we could feasibly find ourselves in the 1/4's. |  | |  |

I’d just like a Wembley trip, semi final will do nicely |  |

Two mini-matches. First half for the cup. Second half for promotion |  | |  |

One game, winner picks which cup they want to take from the day, and it’s to be unveiled to the fans in a gender reveal style on pitch party. |  |
