BBC

Is that a fact?

So did they dictate we played on the Sunday or did they pick it because it was the nominated Saturday fixture?

Just curious loike.

I haven't been to a game since 2003. I don't think it's fair that I probably won't get a ticket

Read online that historically Liverpool don't play on Saturday closest to the date of the Hillsborough disaster weekend. This would be that weekend wouldn't it?

If it's true that the final criteria day is 5+ home games only then looks like my son is going to be unlucky as he only has 2 homes or 3 if you include Swansea and 1 Cup game. He misses out on my criteria 2 cup and 2 home PL matches by one cup match. Ho hum.....

It's the final criteria so far. The club expect there to be further, lower, criteria.

FFS Liverpool and their taboos! I can understand if it's the day but all else is nonsense. However I bet they will play if a Champions League game was scheduled on the exact date.

I don't see anything unfair in the way the club have done things, and it is made clear at the start of the season that attendance at cup games pushes you up the pecking order for semi-final and final tickets. It just so happens that this season all our cup games have been at home but in another year that could favour those of us that go to away games.
Breaking it down into small windows depending on how many years you've been a season ticket holder, or how many games you've been too is really just to even out the demand on each day. 
There's enough tickets for everyone who qualifies via the stated criteria and for semis all clubs end up getting more tickets off the FA once the initial 31,500 go.

Much better than the ballot system you get for events like UEFA finals and Lords test matches, which are basically just money-making opportunities for chancers.

Well said. A voice of reason. I've been surprised by much of the moaning to be honest.

I'm just glad we've got an F.A Cup final to look forward to.
