FA Cup semi

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Remembering the great "justice"

chant in te FAC vs Arsenal, I don' tknow how easy (shouldn't be?) to arrange for the semi, but it has to be done, surely?

A little aside from your post, which I agree fully with.

 

Kenny has rightly stated that we won't play on the 15th, but are we heading for a battle? If we play the 14th, Chelsea will have to play the 15th. If they get through against Benfica the CL semis are on April 17th and 18th.

If that is the case with Chelsea, then we should demand that our Semi Final be played on 14th at Old Trafford or City of Manchester, that way Chelsea can play on the 14th as well, just like the good old days, semi finals on the same day !!

That's up to the FA - It's a problem of their own making by having the Semi's at Wembley - fecking stupid idea - especially with one northern tie and the other southern.

That would be far to sensible

Already booked trains down assuming we'll be on the Saturday - hopefully we're at 1245 rather than 1730

[baz2107]

Chelseas semi would be 18th so not a problem

I can't see the ITV1 wanting a 12:45 kick-off (although maybe the police will advise it if it's Everton). They'll want Saturday night TV ratings.

 

It's it's ESPN then it doesn't matter as they know everyone will be watching illegally no matter the time.

I've had details sent to me this morning for the charter train, with the 14th as the semi final date. Not sure how they would know.

[sutty]

My project go live is on the 14th. I could do with an evening f***ing kick off and the go live going alright.

Has anyone else noticed that our 2 potential FA Cup semi final opponents at Wembley are the last 2 teams we beat to win FA Cups at Wembley?

 

Make of that what you will.

It's surely going to be a 5.15-5.30pm kick off.

 

Saturday shopping, Grand National racing. They'll want as large an audience as possible.

we beat Brighton & Stoke away in the LC this season & beat them home in the FAC (we also did Chelsea in the LC, so let's do them in the final)

History opened its head like a wallet and folded itself inside.

[Nerik]

We also scored last time we won a cup.

If we do get Everton in the semi , The Police will not want tens of thousands of people trying to leave the city as tens of thousands are pouring into the city for the national

Surely you'll have fixed your light switch by then?

[Rory Fitzgerald]

Look, only one way to sort this and its been done before this season, Friday night ball ! I mean, what could possibly go wrong on Friday the 13th.

 

Just seen that we are on the Saturday and Chelsea on Sunday, there was no mention of times.

Just need to build a really big conveyor belt and it'll be sound.

I think less people in Liverpool that day is exactly what they want

Loads of scousers swerving it and drinking in town is the nightmare
