2011 Play-off finals at Old Trafford, not Wembley

[bocadillo]

The Football League has announced that the League One and League Two play-off finals will be held at Old Trafford rather than Wembley. This is to facilitate the staging of the Champions League final.

I would think that the fans of the clubs involved will feel a little disappointed about this.

I would have thought that some players would be too, may be the only chance some get to play at Wembley.

Fans of some clubs would rather they were at Old Trafford.

Northern clubs fans will be happier no doubt.

When the subject was brought up on the Carlisle forum a while ago the majority said they preferred Old Trafford. Maybe Carlisle's trip to Wembley last season had a bearing on that. I'm sure more would go to OT than Wembley.

Looking at league one, most of the contenders as things stand would have quite a way to travel, ridiculous. However as BG says why should we bother.
