FA Cup semi-final - vs Liverpool Sunday 3pm

[UK Redsox]

Would the Chelsea game preclude an fa cup tie at the same/similar time
There is a viewing clash tonight for instance.

Maybe da Beeb and BT would accept a clash on the Sunday but I doubt that they'd want to go up against that Saturday fixture

Knowing how useless the FA are itll 12.30/1oclock Sunday ko. Making it as awkward as possible for both sets of fans to get there

[exiled on the wirral!]

There's also two Premier League games on the Sun afternoon. Therefore, unless they don't mind fishes with other Premier League games, the options are:-

Sat - Noon and 19:45

Sun - 18:00 or later

Tonight Swansea v Liverpool is on the same time as Bradford v Reading so I doubt it matters if there is a clash.

I don't have a problem with how they've done it. Season Ticket holders and regular attendees will get one anyway.

I won't.
I've been to most league games but not one FA Cup.

Last year I believe it was 5pm sat and 4pm sunday.

Chavski v Manc U is on at 5:30 on the Sat

God forbid that could mean an FA Cup semi final kicking off at 3.00PM on a Saturday.

I would guess that the reasons for the delay in announcing the dates and times are 1) to see who wins tonight before the BBC pick their game, and 2) to see how Arsenal get on tomorrow. If they get through (unlikely) the next round of the CL is the Tues/Wed after the FA Cup semis, therefore they would have to play on the Saturday at Wembley.

If this is the case, we won't find out til at least Wednesday.

Hi guys.

I once drove past Villa Park on the way to Tescos. Can anyone confirm my sale date? Alternatively, if anyone is selling their seats, I'll gladly take them off your hands at face value.

Four together and decent view preferable.

Cheers in advance guys.

Well you qualify on grounds of your visit to Tescos and I was going to offer you both my tickets but I don't like being called a "guy" so jog on

No probs Geez. If you change your mind, I'll be in The Green Man on match day. Cracking pub, full of Villa.

Laters.

That sounds logical.

I've been told today I can have our four Club Wembley tickets from work!  Which is great!  I've also been told there is no chance of me having them for the final though should we get there, which is fair enough I suppose.

Go in to work tomorrow, throw a strop and say "fuck your tickets, unless I get them for the final you can shove em up ya arse" and see what happens.

If you need someone to represent you in your subsequent Employment Tribunal claim just give me a shout.

I wonder if Lawro will be talking about the dark days of football again given the horrific scenes at the Madejski...

Those flares on the pitch. It was like the dark days of the 70s
