So, MK Dons stand in our way. First Leg at home 3pm 6th May Second Leg away 8pm 9th May COYR! ADMIN COMMENT: We have THIS general PO thread and separate PO threads for the home and away matches
The timing of the game on the 19th shows the contempt the FA and the Premier League have for the EFL and League 2 in particular. The play-off final kicks off at 3pm, and the final round of Premier League games all kick off at 4pm, and so overlap the second half of the playoff finals. A total slap in the face and piss-take.
Appears to be no kick off time for final on EFL link above, but Crawley Observer are reporting 1pm. This would make more sense as Sky may not want games to clash.
However Sky stating 3pm, so we will have to wait till nearer time.

BBC have it as a 3pm kick off at the moment as well.
A 1pm or 1:30pm kick off seems sensible as even if the match goes into extra time and penalties, it will be/virtually be finished before the Premier League games kick off at 4pm.
But hey, lots not worry/even think about anything to do with the League 2 Play Off final until the second leg at MK Dons is finished 👍
Milton Keynes are averaging under 7000, with top crowd of just over 11,000 so should be plenty of room!
Hi MK Dons fan here so not sure if i’ll get a ban for making an account while not being a crawley fan, when we played wycombe in the playoffs we gave them a crap allocation because they stiffed us first, im curious as to whether you lot will give us the minimum 613 or the full 1600 your away end holds, if you guys play ball with what we ask for we’re usually more than happy to give you what you ask for, how many do you guys reckon you’d sell as well?

No, you don't have to be a Crawley fan to post here. You don't even have to be sensible . I find most forum owners are fine, but Wrexham blocked me from making an account so they can go and do one.
As for allocation, in view of the game's importance, it's quite likely we could fill the ground with home supporters. In recent times a chunk of the away tickets were returned, so we partitioned off some of the away terrace for home supporters. I don't know what view the club will take. It would make sense to only supply the minimum number of away tickets if home support can fill the rest of the ground, but the owners may take the view that an extra segregation partition means fewer supporters attending and a lower financial take. Guessing at our away support is not easy for such a tie, but I doubt it would exceed 2,000. It's hard to tell, really. We had 10k at Man United for the FA Cup 5th round when we were doing well in the National League, had about 1,100 at Sutton a week ago for a fairly short trip in an important league game - but this one is a play-off semi-final, and we have never been in play-offs before.
Our stadium is relatively small so we will sell all home tickets easily as sold out last few games, plus also sold additional tickets Doncaster returned. Not sure what club will do but normally allow a good allocation for away fans. Assume the 613 you state is a minimum 10% capacity? We took over 1000 to Sutton, which was our biggest away support, and would expect to take similar or more.
