This thread is to discuss all of the play-off matches taking place in League 1, League 2, the Championship and any other leagues in the coming weeks.

Championship

Final to be played Monday 25th May

League 1

Final to be played Sunday 24th May

League 2

Final to be played Saturday 23rd May

Predictions?
In the Championship for me I can see a Sheffield United-Burnley final, which I hope will end in a victory for Kevin Blackwell's men as I feel that they deserve to return to the top flight after everything that has happened in recent years with the whole Tevez saga and what not and also the fact that they've done extremely well to get into the position that they are in this season.
For League 1 I'd like to see MK Dons go up, beating prefereably Leeds in the final.
Finally League 2 where I would love to see Rochdale finally escape from the 4th tier of English football, beating Shrewsbury in the final.

Blue Square Premier - 1st Leg Results
Stevenage Borough |3-1| Cambridge United
Torquay United |2-0| Histon
Blue Square Premier - 2nd Legs
Cambridge (1) vs (3) Stevenage Borough - 12:00 K.O
Histon (0) vs (2) Torquay United - 17:30 K.O

Cambridge and Histon have it all to do in the 2nd legs of their play-off semi finals, tommorow night, as they must both attempt to overturn a 2 goal deficet from the first leg. Personally I'm hoping for a Cambridge-Torquay final, in which case I'd be rooting for a Torquay victory.

Your views and opinions on the play-offs this season?

Not really lol sorry :P. You could make a thread about them though, I'd like to get a bit more involved with basketball.
Edited the thread title now just so there's no more confusion.

[Jack.Lfc]

Really hope preston come up.

[brandon]

I want Preston to win the play-offs, would be a pretty amazing story with their results in recent weeks. As for League One, part of me wants Leeds to go up to make the division a bit easier urgh.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cambridge United |2-0| Stevenage Borough (3-3 on agg) - Extra time being played.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 second half goals for the U's have kept their Wembley dreams alive, and extra time is now being played. 4 minutes gone in the 1st period of extra time, and you can watch the game live here http://www.justin.tv/vip_football_2.

EDIT: Scott Laird has just been sent off for Stevenage with 5 minutes gone in extra time, 2nd yellow card. Quite controversial, it also means he'll miss Boro's FA Trophy final against York City on Saturday. But keep in mind that when Stevenage went down to 10 men in the first leg of this semi-final, they went on to win the match 3-1. Extra time going to be very interesting now.

[Browney]

I know this isnt a play off match but im not making a new thread for it, sunderland ladies losing 1-0 to arsenal in fa womens cup final. still, hello ladies.

[Twist]

Still 2-0 Cambridge, 2nd period of extra time being played. 15 minutes away from penalties. http://www.justin.tv/vip_football_2 << to watch the game.
