Fixtures Man?

Post by Marty Dobson » Thu Jan 10, 2019 11:27 am

Anyone have an update on the situation re Man City, Man Utd., games. I am travelling for both games, one trip (I hope) and have to make arrangements yet. I have a ticket for Man Utd game on Tues 29th. Could that game be moved?
What about the City game. When will TV FA Cup selections be announced? Any help greatly appreciated.

I’d be shocked if the Arsenal v Utd match isn’t Sunday or Monday. This would delay our Tuesday night game.

I'd say there's a very good chance the United game will end up on Wednesday. The FA Cup T.V games should be announced by the end of this week I reckon.

Seriously annoying if either cup tie is on the Monday. It will mean a new date altogether for the United game.

Wouldn't either cup game on the Sunday also result in the Utd league game being moved?

I think he means not played that week at all.

The Met Police may have a big say in the fixtures.

They have Wimbledon v West Ham / Millwall v Everton / Palace v Spurs all in very close proximity. Knowing how well they all don't get on you can't imagine the police would want all the fans meeting up at the same time.

Then Chelsea are at home at the same time as Arsenal v Man Utd and Barnet v Brentford.

It's no wonder they are taking their time over re-scheduling the dates.

The Utd game will not be moved to a different week.

They’re scheduled FA Cup dates and PL dates. They maybe quite a few early kick offs on FA Cup round 4 day (Saturday) like last week.

If United play Monday they won’t be playing Wednesday. Possibly Thursday but doubtful.

If the United cup game is on the Monday then the best we could then hope for us the league game on the Thursday which would then put back the Southampton home game to the Sunday.

It's no big deal but in post 6 you mentioned that if either cup tie was to be played on the Monday then our game at Utd would have to be moved. I asked if either game being played on the Sunday would also mean that it would have to be moved?

Arsenal V Man Utd Cup tie on Friday night 25th at 7.55 pm. We're still on Sat at 3pm v City. Man Utd game still on Tuesday giving the top 6 side an extra day. What a surprise.

Those swines at the FA haven't even scheduled a game for Liverpool that weekend, it's a conspiracy I tell you.

I doubt they’d get to much more rest than our players
