Anyone know when this will be confirmed? My understanding is that the TV companies need to give 5 weeks' notice (which basically means the deadline is tomorrow). Or have I missed the TV picks for that weekend?
............until it isn't, and the club postpone the sale on Monday nightApparently on sale on Tuesday, so any changes should be sorted by then.
Ah yes of course - many thanks. Had forgotten about the FA Cup!I asked similar recently when the last lot of TV was announced. I was told it's FA cup semi final weekend, so if they get through, it could be postponed.
FA Cup gate receipts are shared between the home and away sides equallyAt least Chelsea can't get drawn at home in the SF, they have been drawn at home in every round of both domestics cups this season. Unbelievable amounts of luck. The extra home revenue has filled some of the financial gap of no Europe.
The FA Cup has alreday seen us lose Man City as a home weekend fixture. Would be really good not to lose Chelsea as well.Ah yes of course - many thanks. Had forgotten about the FA Cup!
Looks likely Chelsea will get through, unfortunately, so presumably rearranged for a midweek in May

Most of the games you have suggested WON'T actually take place on that weekend though - if for each game, either of the teams involved, reach the FAC Semi finals.
- Aston Villa AFC Bournemouth
- Brighton & Hove Albion Chelsea
- Crystal Palace West Ham United
- Everton Nottingham Forest
- Fulham Liverpool
- Luton Town Brentford
- Manchester United Newcastle United
- Sheffield United Burnley
- Tottenham Hotspur Manchester City
- Wolverhampton Wanderers Arsenal
We COULD be live as it's turned into a bit of a rivalry now.
Nailed on tv games will be the title race so Spurs/City; Wolves/Arse & Fulham/ Liverpool.
Then probably Man Utd/Newcastle?
So much like our City game, the TV companies get to bank an extra midweek fixture even closer to the pointy end of the season.Most of the games you have suggested WON'T actually take place on that weekend though - if for each game, either of the teams involved, reach the FAC Semi finals.
City v Spurs won't take place, if City beat Newcastle tomorrow (and if they lose, then United v Newcastle won't take place!)
Wolves v Arsenal won't take place, if Wolves see off Coventry tomorrow.
Fulham v Liverpool won't take place, if Liverpool beat United on Sunday (and again, if they don't, that scuppers United v Newcastle...)
Fair enough. I obviously wouldn't have posted that had I known about the FA Cup semis.
