Save the dates: Playoff schedule announced

Put in for your time off now!

Dates and one of the kick-off times have been confirmed for Aston Villa’s playoff push.

Gather your family, friends, co-workers, and anyone else who supports the club. Time to check your work schedule (writer’s note: Tuesday = damn it!!), paid time off, and/or ability to not-so-quietly watch.

Sure there is still Sunday’s match with already promoted Norwich — but let’s be honest and know that most supporters are already looking ahead. Hopefully the team is not doing the same and Sunday can be a momentum boost heading into the two leg match.

I hope John McGinn is told the match is actually in Scotland — by the time he runs there and runs back — the match will likely be about over and he cannot be a sub and pick up the 15th yellow card.

The first leg will be at Villa Park — and I look forward to hearing the home crowd roar the boys to victory.... 6-0 would be grand.
