Can anyone tell me what the likely date of the 4th round vs sheffield will be on and ticketing sales dates by any chance? presumably if on a weekend they would give a large allocation?

cheers.

Coventry who are playing Sheffield Wednesday in the 4th round have just rearranged a league game for Tuesday 30th so that means Sheffield Wednesday won't be playing at home on the Sunday
And given that the Luton tickets have already been sent (with Tuesday's date on), I'm assuming WE can't play on the Sunday either - so presumably one of the matches is a Friday night. And if there's any logic involved, it will Weds v Coventry on the Friday - given the comparatively much shorter distances involved....

Why does it take them so long to sort out stuff like this, if it's a Friday night or a Sunday it makes a huge difference to travelling fans trying to sort out time off and travel etc... If they keep dragging their feet they'll be lucky to shift a few hundred tickets for this game.
This. Can only imagine that there is some disagreement between the four clubs involved.

Agreed. The draw is not a shock to anyone so why can’t all clubs involved schedule to sort the next day? I’m sure it’s more complex than we imagine but these things really do drag.

Yeah, very much this. Train tickets need sorting asap.

Although it should be taken in to consideration, I very much doubt the travelling distance of visiting supporters will have any bearing
