Newcastle Jan 28

[Carrot Cruncher]

If we're both in the FA cup 4th round and the rearranged date will be on telly, then with FA cup replays and the CL, the earliest date I can see free is the 28th March.

Of course, if Sky are allowed to go up against the FA cup, and providing either of us aren't involved, it could be the week of the 5th round FA cup replays (28th Feb/1st March).

Yes, I'm bored...

They better hope it doesn't get rearranged to a Champions League week then.

If SKY want to televise it they will decide when it's played!

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Will no doubt also coincide with the New Year rail strikes to be inevitably announced......

Blimey, you really do believe in looking on the bright side of life!

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Exactly.

 

[perseus]

Sky have already chosen their live matches for this period, and this is not one of them.

BUT

This is FA Cup 4th round weekend, and the chances of both us and Newcastle going out on Rd 3 are quite low.

Therefore, it's likely to be moved, but not by SKY.

We had this before. Guesst he rearranged date? https://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/showt...a-telly-game&p=7655801&viewfull=1#post7655801 It might even be on the Tuesday 24 January 2016 before the scheduled date?

Haha.....it's inevitable :-(

Did it get moved and if so what was the score?

They would only be able to move it to a Monday or Friday from a midweek fixture due to UEFA rules on live match broadcasts on Champions League/Europe League match days.

That would obviously have an impact on Saturday fixtures and surrounding mid week fixtures (if we have any).

All this would firstly depend on what date the two clubs and the FL decide on to begin with and if there is enough time for the rearranging of other matches to then cater for Sky.

Just make it the last match of the season

 

[Guy Fawkes]

You say that, but i'm sure i read somewhere that many moons ago we actually forgot? Meaning we had to go through the qualifiers!

Or did i just make that up?

Brighton forgot to apply for exemption from qualifying for the FA Cup in 1932/33. Starting in qualifying, (beating Shoreham 12-0 in 1Q) they reached the fifth round before being eliminated by West Ham after a replay

 

[dazzer6666]

We'll play Fa cup on Friday and Newcastle on Monday I reckon.....

 

[Hiney]

Sky want the game. It's inconceivable that it won't be televised when played.

Absolutely this.

Assuming one of us is still in the FA Cup, the game will be moved so it conveniently becomes part of the RUN-IN

Sky will therefore be CREAMING themselves

 

[Ernest]

SKY don't show the FA Cup so if we both get KO'D in the 3rd round then it will be on SKY sometime over that weekend , otherwise it will be when it suits them

 

[Stat Brother]

Absolutely this.

Assuming one of us is still in the FA Cup, the game will be moved so it conveniently becomes part of the RUN-IN

Sky will therefore be CREAMING themselves

Assuming both teams maintain their current form.

 

[mwrpoole]

So on the off chance we both get knocked out in 3rd round, can SKY still rearrange it with 3 weeks notice?

Yes, they can do what they like as they will offer more money to the clubs if one or both get funny

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

They can. And possibly will. Or maybe not in the end.

The wise won't book anything in advance that can't be cancelled and refunded.

 

[jamie the seagull]

Sky moved a Middleboro match at very short notice at the end of last season.
Small print of contract allowed them to make decision outside of normal time scales.

......and scored 43 goals in their FA cup run, without even reaching the final! Got to be a record, shirley?

Probably second. Preston NE scored 50 in 1887-88.
