Match Buildup Playoff Home Leg - cover the seats with the big flags?

Forgive me if I’ve missed something but why are the play offs 2 legs home & away, not a single game at a neutral ground?
perhaps because Parry and his EFL cohorts are incompetent as well as not fit for purpose ( they could even ironically be viewed as being not fit and proper persons)? ?
 
The flags you're use to seeing on the wall at the back of the East Stand don't belong to the club/Oxvox.

I agree that we should be able to send in our own personal flags and the club could display them. Would be interesting to see if they require a fire certificate like they normally ask for.
 
Ok, we are saying the £ from TV is more than the cost of funding a game in an empty stadium?
Unlikely, its more likely that the EFL will benefit from the extra cash from the TV Money.
 
Absolutely, usually it would be about home advantage, having a baying crowd on your side. No crowd, no point in two legs.
IMHO it's sporting integrity as well as money.
The financial point is that the league and the clubs will make twice as much money from two games televised on Sky.
The sporting integrity point is that all play-off clubs go in to this having played no competitive matches for over three months. That gives a far more random element that having a play-off tie that usually begins within a week of the last regular season match.
Keeping it to two matches at least gives twice as much playing time for a side to make up any goals conceded due to a slow start and having twice as many playing minutes means there is a greater chance that the "better" side wins overall.

The huge surfer flags are kept in a cupboard/room at the stadium and belong to the ultras I believe. They already have certificates etc I believe. It would be great to get those on the seats. The blue seats may make Pompey feel too at home.
 
Stick portable speakers on every seat and then send a microphone to all the fans to remote access it!
