Apologies if this has been mentioned before but who would host the final were we to progress?

I believe we'll be away at the winners of the other semi (Tottenham or Chelsea).

Correct. Interesting that Spurs are playing the game at their first team stadium - could suggest a day out there or at Stamford Bridge if they can get past Sunderland.

They also played the Liverpool game there on Sunday evening.

Surprised it's on the Monday. Can't imagine the crowd will be as big as the previous two play-off games.

I would think the club might have requested it as the team are playing tomorrow night

And don't expect it to be Stamford Bridge if Chelsea win as they have played all their games at Kingsmead so far

Fingers crossed Spurs win then. It'll be our only chance for a while to check out the new stadium.

Would've thought Sunday would've worked, but perhaps they can't get their relevant staff in for then.

Couple of results this week that might be of interest.
Last night final of the PL international cup
Crystal Palace 1 PSV Eindhoven 0
Tonight’s final of the PL cup
Fulham 4 Tottenham 0

Only just realised with Derby's promotion, we're the only side outside the top 2 divisions with a Cat 1 academy now.

Great he's come back the way he has as struggled a bit with injuries recently. Hopefully will be another pushing for the first team soon.
