[UK Redsox]

Has a kick off time been decided ?

Saturday 30th May at 3pm I think.

No it is 5.30 or 6pm - because the BT coverage doesn't start until 5pm.

[kippaxvilla2]

Which is utterly ridiculous by the way.

I wonder if the club will show it on a big screen at Villa park for those of us who'll struggle to get a ticket...?

I may be mistaken however - I am confused because I watched the game on TV yesterday and at the end they put up a caption saying their coverage started at 5pm on 30th May.

On the BT website there is no start time for coverage

Presume the BBC dont give it the big build up now - Its a knockout, meet the teams, camera on the team bus etc

And the FA website says KO time depends on TV schedule!

That's what I've been seeing.

The Wemberleeee Stadium site says TBC.

The only place that I've seen a time listed is on http://www.live-footballontv.com/live-english-football-on-tv.html which says 3pm


I'm asking because if its a 3pm KO I'd be tempted to stay overnight in that there London but if its a 5pm or later, I'd go across and back on the day.

Until a KO time is decided, some sites (inc da Beeb) list all games as 3pm. eg, originally both semis were listed for Sat 18 Apr at 3pm

I took it from the caption on BT that it kicked off at 5?

[cdbearsfan]

Last year's kicked off at five. This'll be the same I imagine.
