The FA Cup (Other football)

[cdbearsfan]

No, our game with Tottenham clashes with the FA Cup Final. The natural place to play a potential rearranged game would be the midweek after, but that's the date of the Europa League Final.

I thought they had stopped that shite with the FA Cup final being played on the same day as league games. What a load of crap. It should have its own day.

They have haven’t they? All games that weekend  are on the Sunday aren’t they?

Yes, when I said it "clashed" I meant that it was the same weekend, not the same day. Even the FA wouldn't be big enough twats to make us play twice in two days.

With the marathon on the Sunday being in mostly south of the river & Palace fans travelling from the same area, I'd assume our game will be on the Saturday.

We potentially have to play City the Wednesday before the SF games, and then play Tottenham the Wednesday before the final if we get through. For our SF opponents, Palace have Arse away so I expect that will also be moved to the week before as well.

For league knowledge, Forest game being moved is home v Brentford so they could be anywhere.

Sorry, I meant the Cup final being the last game of the club season after the PL has finished. Still, if it at least has a Saturday to itself,  it's better than nowt.

Prices the FA set last season.

For tickets in levels 1 and 5, fans paid £80 for adult tickets in category 1, while category 2 cost £65 and category 3 £45. Category 4 tickets cost £30, and there are concessions for seniors 65 and over as well as children and young adults under 20 years of age.

If the announcement follows the pattern of last year and every round this year then the dates will be announced on Friday morning.

I predict we will play 1715 on the Saturday.

I doubt the FA has yet met with the clubs, the local authority, members of the Safety Advisory Group and broadcasters.

Andy Gray (not that one).

Andy Gray (not that one), Garry Thompson, Gareth Southgate, Yannick Bolasie, Christian Benteke, Gabor Kiraly.

[Somniloquism]

Because we have potentially a CL semi-final a few days later (no other teams in the SF has that claim), AND they won't know for sure until well after these fixtures should be announced, I can't see any day but the Saturday. Let Forest / Citeh have to play with looking forward to facing us in the final.

Was it our Ayew the one who went to Palace or the other one?
