    Not a bad first season in charge, Nicky. A future BFC head coach?

    To use your words it is bent like RL :D

    From the Premier League handbook:-

    • At the end of the league season, the winner of each regional league shall play the runner up of the other league in the semi-finals, with Clubs which finished first being the home club.

    • The winners of each semi-final shall compete in the National final, the winner of which shall be deemed the U18 Professional Development League National Champions

    So, as it stands we'd be at home to Millwall in the semis.

    It's not entirely clear as to where the venue for the final would be although there is reference to a 'draw undertaken by the Premier League to determine the home club'. I'd have thought it was simpler and fairer to just say that the team with the better record in the league stage was the home club.
