[Blue Valkyrie]

We won't know anything until after FA Cup 3 is played in January.

Rearrnaged date not straightforward http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/brighton-and-hove-albion/fixtures

because of Newcastle match with QPR excludes the obvious date of 31 January 2017

Wednesday 8 February 2017 (unless Cup replay then 21 February on a Tuesday) ? First one is not a Champions League date, second one is. http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=2017/competitionformat/

FA Cup replay date would not be so straightforward as well.

The FA Cup rules say both all clubs must play a strong representative side in FA Cup matches. (But Holla played against Hull last season.)

Fifth round and we are scheduled against Barnsley.

Of course all bets are off if both Newcastle and Brighton play reserve teams and lose on January 7th.

But even so, wouldn't they just pick it and then just move it to a time and date that works? Because they'd DEFINITELY want this game.

Will depend on when its played, IIRC UEFA have a rule that says if there is champions league football on then no other live football can be shown on TV.

What are the chances of us both getting through the third round and then we get drawn at home to the geordies in round four?

Play it as a double header? Winner gets three points and through in the cup. Save the Geordies another trip down.

We are playing on the 2nd February. They won't arrange it for the potential 4th Round replay date, so 7th and 8th Feb are out. We are playing Ipswich on the 14th. So next viable date is 21/22 February, which is a Champions League night so it cannot be on TV. I would put a reasonable amount on the Newcastle game not being on TV, as the only dates where Sky can get it on TV are so late in the season the clubs won't be able to rearrange for then.

Or we'll have another Thursday game... With Reading (H) also moved (to the Sunday) and also on TV.

Thats what i was thinking, sky can show 1st half and BT/BBC 2nd half

28 Feb/1 March would be an option though

Does the Europa League have the same rights as Champions League, re no domestic football broadcast? I would suspect so.

5th Round replay date. Doubt the clubs would rearrange for that date either. Then you are back to the Champions League clashes on March 14/15th. I think Notters Thursday/Sunday is the only way they can get this game on TV.

 

[perseus]

28 January (if both Newcastle and Brighton lose)
8 February (if neither Brighton and Newcastle draw)
21 February very likely clashes with Champions League

 

[Prince Monolulu]

7 January (if both Newcastle and Brighton lose)
8 February (if neither Brighton and Newcastle draw)
21 February very likely clashes with Champions League

How would January work?

7th January is the third round date. We will have to do particularly badly to be knocked before then
8th Feb can only become a thing if both get knocked out in the 3rd round, in which case we will play on the original date.

Gets my vote. Thursday 9th is my birthday

I am certain that we have played before when the Champions League games have been going on. I am sure that I read that the only matches not allowed are PL games.??
