And potentially a load of Cardiff fans milling around from the day before. Still i think a move to Villa Park is unlikely - as they'd need to get 40,000 Leeds and Millwall fans out before 40,000 Villa and Newcastle fans appear for a 4pm KO. Even if Villa Park had been available - i can't imagine them moving it at such short notice - and effectively halving each clubs allocation. I guess if the Milwall scenario does happen then it'll just be moved forward a bit more to 12 noon KO. Do you think that perhaps they might have been able to anticipate that when the fixtures were agreed - or did they just assume they get a nice friendly Yeovil v Scunthorpe play off final.
