With a potential Bolton v Oxford final on the cards I think we need to get organised and patrol the M40 and all other access roads through the Chiltern escarpment, assisting our fellow Wanderers.
Can't find the thread where there's discussion about the season seeming to end early. I'm sure it has as normally it's the first weekend in May.
However, I note that the play-off final is quite early too on the 18th May. This may become the new normal in future.
It's to enable other play-offs and the FA Cup - 25th May - to be fitted in at Wembley before the Champions League final on 1st June. (The Premier League ends it fixtures on 19th May).
This year there are only four weekends in May in which to fit all the matches too. Some years there are five - depends which day of the week the 1st falls on.

Think we should use this as a lookout...
@NewburyWanderer I alway assumed that is what it was originally built for.

And of course the Euros to follow.
I've never known there to be less hype about a major international tournament.
It finished a week earlier than the championship as the League 1/2 playoff finals are a week earlier.
