Well well well, Saints sinners booted out of the playoffs and fined 4 points

Good, about time administrators grew a pair and actually hit trangressors with a proper punishment!

So how are Middlesbrough and their fans going to make arrangements for the final in four short days time?! Can those tickets be printed and distributed and can those many coaches be organised for the journey down to Wembley?🤔

Wembley uses e-ticketing, anyone wanting a paper ticket has to print it at home. As for transport? Anyone's guess. If I was a coach company in Middlesbrough I wouldn't have been holding on to coaches on the off-chance of this outcome.

My guess is Boro will be calling coaches from all over the country and perhaps even subsidising them.

Surely some if not all the Middlesbrough players will be abroad on their holidays, thinking the season ended for them two weeks ago. Getting back from say Dubai, as they won't be in the likes of Scarborough, then getting match fit before Saturday is almost impossible!

I suspect the players were all told to stay put with the hearing looming. If they were allowed to disappear, someone at Boro has some explaining to do 😂

Can we put whoever made this decision at the EFL in charge of the Man City case? 😂

I would have thought that Middlesborough might have believed they had a chance of this happening and put holidays on hold for a couple of weeks.

They will all be on standby, it will look the Normandy landings.🤣🤣🤣🤣

Maybe the Normanby landings if they can dock at South Bank.

The players were prevented from going on holiday in expectation of this outcome.
