[Albion] Europa and FA cup finals 3 days apart

[Jimmy Grimble]

I’ve posted before about what our schedule would look like with both an FA Cup and Europa League run, managed to dig it out:

Europa League R16 second leg - 14th March
FA Cup Quarter Final - 16th March (presumably it would get moved to the 17th/18th)

Europa League Quarter Final second leg - 18th April
FA Cup Semi Final - 20th April (would again presumably move to the 21st April)

Europa League Semi Final - 2nd May and 9th May. Sandwiched between Villa at Home and Newcastle away in the Prem.

Europa League Final 22nd May
Fa Cup Final 25th May

It’s a shame they’re so close together although realistically any of the scenarios would require some favourable draws (with a huge preference for being at home in the FA Cup, and for having the home leg second in EL). I know the last scenario is unlikely dreamland stuff, but I may never get the chance to look this kind of thing up and repost it again, so why not!

What's the problem. Continue celebrating in Dublin Thursday and Friday, then Saturday morning flight to Heathrow and restart the celebrations in Wembley.

The problem will be the £450 flight from Dublin to Heathrow on those days!!

You've set the bar a bit low.

I've been lucky enough to meet Sheridan in the flesh, the TV doesn't do her justice, the only downside IMHO is the extensive biro across her torso. (well all the bits I could see )

Get the train (and ferry) and keep the party going all the way.

Quite a few of those won't happen (!), but we almost certainly WILL have to fit in a rearranged home game v Man City (and I think the only possible dates - assuming Man City progress in the CL - are Weds 24th April, or Weds 15th May. If the latter, it would make for an interesting EPL run-in.....Villa, Newcastle, Man City, Man Utd as the last 4 games!

100% RDZ is thinking through this as a possibility .

Matchday first XI rotation is about to return in a major way to get us ready for such a scenario
