...I realise there may not be an advantage without fans present but I always thought the higher placed team would be away in the first leg.
That's the situation in the other semi where Morecambe are away at Tranmere? :shrug:

What sort of Mickey Mouse outfit books in a pitch relay before the end of the season. Having to give up home advantage in the second leg is a major gaffe and will probably cost them promotion, especially as fans are now back in.
It's not County's pitch so I would think the work was agreed between the WRU and Newport/Dragons rugby.Quote:

Or it's a chance to pinch a first leg win and put pressure on FGR. I don't think home advantage in the second leg is what it is cracked up to be.Quote:

Thanks Eric, apart from the Leicester game, I’d say the better team won in all of those home Play Off defeats as well.Quote:
