The Football League has announced that the end-of-season play-offs will
be held at the new Wembley Stadium. "This is the news which fans of League clubs have been waiting for," said League chairman Lord Mawhinney. The League Two play-off final will take place on Saturday 26 May, with League
One and the Championship following. Wembley managing director Alex Horne added: "We are looking forward to welcoming back the Football League play-offs at the end of May. "As the final hurdle in the season-long race for promotion these are exciting and critical matches and we are delighted that they will be returning to Wembley this year." Cardiff's Millennium Stadium had been put on standby for the three matches. |
