CONFIRMED Semi Final Date - Sat 22nd 16:45 ko

[Dkc]

No good if you live in Sheffield. The last train to Sheffield, from Donny is sadly ten minutes before the Kings Cross train is due to get in.

4 in a cab is the way to go

 

[blackydog]

Not too concerned for ourselves as we have 23k plus loyalty points. Do we think it will be one customer number one ticket though.

 

[Gimli]

Is it today Dad ? Yes it is Son.

Not yet it isn’t

Brisk walk..

Glad I've got my route sorted ,top secret mind

That's not the point really. The original point was the fact that two of the biggest cities in the country have the last train back from the capital at 9:30, or before. This is not typical (at least I know it to not be for Sheffield), but it does irk a bit that it just so happens to be on the weekend when thousands from each city will want to be using the service.

Back in time?

On Semi final tickets? Honestly it’s a been a week and a bit! Why no information? How hard is it to schedule days at Wembley? Surely the whole process takes about 3 hours including pricing, dates etc. Irs starting to bug me! Can’t even remember how we got here, did we beat Blackburn? Like 87 years ago?

 

[originaltrueblade]

Embarrassed about the price of tickets

 

[SUFC Guy]

It's nothing short of pathetic. The powers that be obviously do not give a flying fk about the fans and their potential problems sorting everything out.

Why should the FA even care? Not like they are going to have to queue and buy tickets, sort hotel and arrange transport/parking.

Tossers the lot of em.

Maybe it’s the tv companies that are holding things up ?

9.30 is always the last train back home on a saturday ain't it? 10pm on Sundays and 10.30 in the week. That's what I've always ever experienced.

100% FA re looking at the incident with Billy making comments to the Walsall players after beating em at lane. Their just negotiating % of income from Netflix when they get reinstated and win FA cup in a true underdog story.

 

[Caveblade]

It's shambolic. How can you plan Transport etc. It can't be that hard to set a date and time.

 

[bladesmanluke]

Reckon every day that goes by we lose 1k off the gate

 

[Ralph Blade]

It is absolutely pathetic and once again confirms that in spite of everything they say, the fans are the last to be considered. I’m waiting on flights that I’m sure are increasing in price everyday, as well as the things many other fans need ie hotels and trains. It was already financially a tough decision wether to go or not and this ain’t helping.

 

[Ralph Blade]

Why would that be an issue to setting dates and times, surely one gets the Saturday match and the other the Sunday, kick off time on Sunday would appear to be the only moveable feast.

 

[HuddersfieldBlade]

FFS United/City/BBC/ITV/FA/UEFA* sort this out. If its on the Saturday I need to get out of taking the little one to a kids birthday party

* delete as appropriate

 

[TopBoy]

The delay is due to VAR still reviewing the Ndaiye assault near the halfway line.

I'm just hoping that the weather warms up a bit as I'm planning to wear my short shorts and muscle vest. The birds love it.

Blimey…this could take some time…I mean, when did we last beat Walsall at the Lane?

"They" say you should go 8ncognito or clear your cache when looking for flights as they can see you have been checking. Unfortunately it has been debunked.

Kin ell, they'll make a killing on the Wrexham game then ;-)

Use a different device, such as the wife's. Then look on your phone and book.

I don't know if it was here or twitter, i think it was Twitter actually... Saw someone saying that BBC get first choice and wanted Man Utd v Brighton but the BBC slot is Saturday and Man U can't play on that day. Reckons there's disagreements about who gets which game.

Could just be 2+2 = 5 like, but who knows

Replace "Walsall" & "Netflix" with "Wrexham" & "Disney+" and your post is perfect

 

[5tannington Blade]

Brightons fixture list on their website says saturday for their fa cup fixture? Time TBC

 

[5tannington Blade]

Has this always been like this ?

 

[XH536]

The games Saturday just the kick off to be confirmed ,last year's Saturday match kicked of around 15.30

1530!!!!!
Traditionally, association football matches, in this country, start at 1500, fuffing FA.
1300 would be a better time for folk to get down there and return at a reasonable time, thinking of the younger and older end of the support.
My thought is it could be played at either Old Trafford or Swillsborogh.
Toss for which venue, easier for all concerned.
Blades-Man City and venue share monies accrued.
Bart' time FA thought o't fans.

Aside from the fact it’s a death trap Hillsborough capacity is probably down to sub 29k with all the restrictions and condemned sections.
