"Playoffs? Playoffs?" :D One of my favorite sports moments EVER!

Diddly-Poo!

I checked the FSW schedule for the week of the 10th (rumoured date for first games) and it has other programming scheduled for the times matches would be on.

However, none of the fixtures will be officially announced until the seasons finished (IMO) and FSW has a promo about upcoming programming and they mention the Nationwide league in that.

I'm really hoping they show them (obviously), they were on last year.

FOX Sports World will have them LIVE in the US. All 5 games.

Sportsnet (but NOT FOX Sports World Canada) will have them in Canada: 4 live and 1 on 2-hour delay.

Thanks, Ollie.

Seriously! Who cares about Wolves, Forest, Sheff Utd and Reading (hooped imposters). The Div 2 playoffs will be much more exciting.

Bastard Tractor Boyz bolloxing up the end of the season.....again. :(

The Div 1 playoffs start on Sat May 10. Both matches are shown live on FSW. The first match at 4:15 am pacific and the second at 9:30 am pacific.

C'mon Reading

[DennisM]

The only problem is that for now FSW is not saying which first leg match they will be repeating. Also I assume that they will be repeating just 1 second leg match as well. Go Reading! Is the final on the 18th? That's what I'm thinking. First leg on the 10th. Second leg on the 14th and the final on the 18th?

I'm really jazzed about seeing the Royals for the first time since I was in the East Stand at the Mad House a couple of seasons ago.

After seeing them playing the likes of Wrexham and Wycombe and Rotherham just two seasons ago, I'm absolutely amazed to think that they have a shot at the Premiership.

I'm with ya there man. 17-7, who woulda thunk it. I mean the team hasn't been been the same since Jorge Orta...

Oh wait. You meant... Nevermind.

[SueB]

I believe you meant to say they haven't been the same since George Brett!!! :D

Watch out for Bristol City. Seriously, does anyone know if they are going to show the Div 2 playoffs?

It's looking about 99% unlikely (and they never have before). Gonna have to rely on Web casts and Sky Sports News.

And I'd rather not play Brizzle in the playoffs. Rangers and City are 1 and 2 in the form table right now - would make for a cracking final if we can avoid each other in the semi's. And the two sets of supporters would easily fill the Millenium.

Looks like we avoided each other for the first round. I thought that last year's Div 2 playoffs were televised on FSW. I could easily be wrong. But it looks like you're right. I don't see the games listed on the FSW schedule. Hopefully they'll show the final on FSW.

QPR no longer has the benefit of an artificial surface to play on, so it looks like a home-and-home with Wednesday next season.
