[Albion] FA cup 4th round, Sheffield united

[BenPage]

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.

 

[Wozza]

Yep:

First match: 20:00PM.

Not to be confused with... 20:00AM?!

They must be praying for a Wolves replay win as West Brom v Brentford is a turn off

 

[spoonie]

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

 

[dstanman]

Maybe we should of made it part of James Beadle loan deal to Sheff Wed that they couldn't play their 4th round game on the Sat

 

[HangletonGull]

And people where saying confirmed ffs untill it’s actually confirmed don’t say it is , please can we be Friday night

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

 

[RM-Taylor]

Sheff Weds v Coventry is (so I’ve been told by a Wednesday ST holder at work) on the Friday night

 

[Is it PotG?]

How difficult can it be to let all parties know ticketing arrangements?

If we're Saturday at 3pm and it's a fiver a pop, let us know FFS

Coventry’s game with Bristol City has now been moved to the Tuesday.

Means that they’re tie vs. Wednesday won’t be on the Sunday.

Barnsley & Doncaster are also both at home so one of Shef U and Wednesday will have to be on the Friday.

Yep, Sheff Wed get the Friday eve slot.

 

[chaileyjem]

Yep confirmed by FA

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Bought train tickets after the TV fixtures were announced assuming that it wouldn’t get moved only to then find out it could still get moved because of Sheff Weds. Got lucky in the end and saved a few quid!
