F.A Cup 4th Round - Millwall away

[Lambert and Payne]

70 hours after the second leg of the semi - who's agreed to this ? Surely If it can't be on Sat for whatever reason the Newastle game on 29th could be moved - how many times do we move to accommodate the Europa League

According to a Millwall forum it's been moved by the police to avoid clashing with a march on the Saturday. Not sure what march, EDL twats maybe?

They couldn't move it to the Sunday as we are playing Newcastle on Tuesday after.

Can't you ask them to move it to Friday night at 19:45?

Assuming the club monitors these sites for the sake of supporter relations, then maybe they can provide an answer as to why a midweek league game immediately after an FA Cup round WASN'T originally scheduled for the Wednesday so that whatever happened in the FA Cup, fans would not be messed about.

There was always the chance of either Villa or our opponents being involved in a live TV game on the Sunday. If we've agreed to play Millwall on Friday rather than mess 30,000 or so fans around on the Tuesday then that's the right decision, but what if Newcastle had beaten Brighton and their home tie with Arsenal or Swansea and had been chosen for TV on Sunday? We all know that the league game would have been put back 24 hours and it would have been tough shit for those fans who book nights off work for games way in advance.
A bit of foresight and sensible planning back in June could have accounted for all options by scheduling Newcastle for Wednesday. The most annoying thing is that there are people picking up a salary for making these decisions.

Well its probably saved me £100 so I'm fine.

The way things are, having the game hidden away on a Friday night is probably a good thing.

Paul Lambert prefers Tuesday games.

Will this mean TV might pick it up?

[The Man With A Stick]

Friday night football then we'll have to listen to Danny Baker gloating about their 4-0 win just a few hours later...

[Nev]

Will this mean TV might pick it up?

No. They have already sorted their games, it's on the FA website.

The coverage looks really quite shit, the only one that looks promising is Brentford or Southend v Chelsea

If this tie is not on TV then there is absolutely NO justification for it not to be played during the day at the weekend

How can they possibly think that a premier league side playing away at Milwall on friday night could be the safest option?
