I don't think its unrealistic to assume that city will beat wigan and play in the semi on the weekend of the 12th/13th. Meaning we will have 2 gap weekends and 2 midweek fixtures to squeeze in.

 

Does anybody know if there are any rules relating to how games are rescheduled. City and Sunderland coincidentally have to reschedule their postponed pl game and also their league cup final weekend pl game. God forbid either of them draw a 1/4 or semi fa cup game.

 

The last thing we need is to be playing sunday/tuesday or thursday/saturday games on the final week

Currently we are third on the list of postponements for sunderland and will be fourth on the list for city. You'd have to assume priority goes in order of postponement and then schedule per available date

Hopefully Sunderland lose their QF, and our game gets rescheduled for the Semi weekend, leaving just the City game to reschedule for midweek. If City get past Barca, then there wont be too many possible dates for that.

Think only way this could be done would be if the Bitters beat Arsenal as they are due to play Sunderland on semi weekend.

 

Can see City game being shoe horned into the last midweek of season as Sky wont want it clashing with Champions League (And City could still be in it) Sunderland game could also be revolved around TV as I think it now needs to be shown as it was initially scheduled as a tv game

City won't have any weekends free, it will be a midweek unless they lose to Wigan.

 

Champions League knockout games are on 18th February, 12th March, quarters are on 1st and 8th April, semis on 22nd and 29th April. Internationals on the 4th March, they play other Mancs on 26th March

 

Obviously if they get knocked out Champions League those weeks will be free, however I don't think Sky will want the game to clash with another champions league match if at all possible. this leaves definite free midweeks of

 

25th Feb, 19th March (clashes with other Champions League games), 14th April, and 4th May. So it'll be one of those, they will also have to schedule in the Villa game which is going to be postponed on the 8th.

 

Wouldn't expect a decision for a while as they will need to play Wigan before anything is said (which will also rule out the 25th Feb)

Seems like City game could be nailed on for May 6th then.

Surely both our games against Sunderland and City simply get moved to the midweek after they were originally scheduled ? There are no cup replay or CL dates set for then.

 

I can see Sky/BT being all over the City game to be honest, they love a big midweek game in the last week or so of the season.

The midweek after Sunderland game is a champions league week, obviously this doesn't effect either side, but as game was originally a tv game, I think Sky will want to keep it that way and not clash with Champions League

Apparently Hull and Brighton can't replay their cup game midweek when CL games are on, as UEFA have a rule which says that no other games can be played on days when CL games are scheduled. This would reduce the options we have for our rescheduled games.

Yes this is true, no games can take place when the CL is on.

I think we'll want to play Sunderland when we are meant to play City. Sunderland will be alright with that as well. So if they go out and City go through it will be that weekend.

 

I agree with everyone saying that TV will put loads of pressure on for City to be as close to the season's close as possible.

Sunderland are due to play Everton on that date, so if Sunderland go out and Everton go through it is possible, either of the others mean it won't be

If a TV game (Sunderland) is postponed, do the TV always show the re-arranged game ?

Midweek of 19th March would work for Sunderland game. No clashes that week.

Unless Sunderland draw their cup match, which would presumably mean that replay would be on midweek of 19th March.

Sunderland also have a game against West Brom to fit in sometime. 'Twas postponed because of the League Cup final.
