[Albion] FA Cup QF Draw Wed 1.3.23

[mwrpoole]

Looking at the PL for that weekend there is no game Saturday 12:30, so you’d think 1 FA Cup match would be then. There is a 5:30 match on Sky so you’d think they can’t clash with that.

There are no Sky matches on the Sunday as both matches, us at 2 & City at 4:30 are cup tied. Arsenal play at 2 on Sunday due to Europa League but not on TV (yet). Never say never but probably too late for Sky to move matches to Sunday?

So all day Sunday for 3 cup matches.

The FA cup games are on BBC and ITV so won’t care when Sky show games.

They won't want to clash and potentially lose a large chunk of their audience

 

[Gazwag]

There are 4 games how hard is it for the two TV companies to decide which ones they want. They have paid for their picks and have the slots in place for weeks probably months, the games are two weeks away. Why couldnt they have announced first thing yeaterday morning to give clubs as long as possble to sort our their ticketing, staffing etc

We will freeze, and royally screw this up.

Although there would be a certain extra satisfaction if by some miracle we got to the final and shafted Manchester United 4 nil.

 

[Hotchilidog]

Sweet. Ticket bought! Let the cup fever commence!

 

[Deadly Danson]

I'm probably being thick but when they say car parking goes on sale in line with on sale dates for match tickets which date to they mean?

The QF's last season kicked off at the following times

Saturday 19th March 5:15pm (Middlesbrough vs Chelsea)
Sunday 20th March 12:30pm (Palace vs Everton), 3pm (Southampton vs Man City) and 6pm (Forest vs Liverpool).

I'd expect the KO times to be very similar this time round. I can't see either BBC or ITV wanting to move the Saturday game to an early kick off especially when it will involve Man City they will want that on late.

Last season there was no clash on the Saturday as Aston Villa vs Arsenal kicked off at 12:30pm which was the only PL game on that day.

On Sunday the PL game Leicester vs Brentford kicked off at 2pm which means it would have clashed with the end of the Palace game and most of the first half Southampton vs City.

The late kick off on Sunday was Spurs vs West Ham at 4:30 so would have clashed with both the later games on the Sunday. So there is no issues with games overlapping.

Not that different KO times then, and a clash on the Saturday.

Its a really good outcome for us being on Sunday and also 2.15pm albeit I would've rather had 4.30pm
