[Albion] FA Cup fourth round v Chelsea [8pm on 8/2/24]

[Dave the OAP]

The Chelsea game is showing on google as 15:00 on the 8th..

I assume we are still waiting to see if the TV want to move it to show it?

looking at the last round, games were Friday to Monday.

anyone any idea when they release the TV schedules for this?

Thanks.

To be fair, the last round three games were only played last night, and they’re usually pretty quick in sorting them out

Much more efficient than the PL

Game will definitely be on TV, so one thing for sure is it WON'T be 3pm.

Assuming 7 (seven games are for domestic TV, I imagine these will be in bold and a further 4 (four) likely to be moved for foreign TV (in italic).

1 Manchester United v Leicester City

2 Leeds United v Millwall or Dagenham & Redbridge

3 Brighton & Hove Albion v Chelsea

4 Preston North End or Charlton Athletic v Wycombe Wanderers

5 Exeter City v Nottingham Forest

6 Coventry City v Ipswich Town

7 Blackburn Rovers v Wolverhampton Wanderers

8 Mansfield Town or Wigan Athletic v Fulham

9 Birmingham City v Newcastle United

10 Plymouth Argyle v Liverpool

11 Everton v Bournemouth

12 Aston Villa v Tottenham Hotspur

13 Southampton v Burnley

14 Leyton Orient or Derby County v Manchester City

15 Doncaster Rovers v Crystal Palace

16 Stoke City v Cardiff City

Wish they’d hurry up and sort it. It’s my 60th birthday that weekend and I’m getting grief from ‘er indoors trying to organise it. Naturally I won’t commit to anything until I know when the match is going to be.

I'm just hoping for any day apart from the Saturday. Normally i whine if its moved from a Saturday

I'm in a similar situation, youngest's b'day, he'll want to go to the Albion, which my wife is livid with me about as apparently I caused this!!!! (I suppose I did )

3pm KO = Going
Evening KO = Not Going

Can't be arsed with the inevitable evening KO transport shitstorm against the same opposition twice in the space of six days. Bad fan. Oh well

Do we have any idea when the TV picks and kick off times will be announced?

So as we’re late Thursday I guess that means tomorrow.

Got similar problem but it's other half's birthday, even more tricky.

 

[Dave the OAP]

On another tack, I have listed my Chelsea ticket and Uni Parking for the 14th. We are way, but with it being Valentine’s Day, I was getting grief anyway!

so anyone wants it, good seat in the North Stand surrounded by hooligans

Ah, the FA are old school. Must be the blazers.

 

[Zeberdi]

Not sure want to do 2 x 350 mile return trips on PT to see us play Chelsea twice in 7 days - will do one or the other - the PL match is more doable at the moment as it’s a Friday with better trains.

Ouch

Do you think they've forgotten?

 

[Milano]

FFS I'm having to stop Mrs Milano booking stuff for youngest b'day, this can't go on forever, WTF are you doing FA?
Just seen on another thread 8pm Sat is a rumour, please god no. That is not a KO time for a football match, bloody ridiculous which ever two sets of fans get that.
