[Albion] So any idea when the Brighton v Chelsea game is taking place

[brianwade]

Very few dates available now - next week was suggested but no word as yet ..?

It won’t be played next week. Chelsea play on Monday 15th against Everton so there isn’t time before their semi final.

It’s going to be one of the three midweeks at the end of the season now so April 30th onwards at the earliest.

Edit can’t be the end of April/start of May midweek as Chelsea already have a midweek fixture. That means final 2 weeks of the season. 14th/15th/16th of May would look most likely to avoid clashing with any European fixtures (although I don’t think UEFA outright ban fixture clashes like they used to anymore).

FPL nerds have it as w/c 13th May.. Think it'll either be Weds 15th or Thurs 16th

We might be playing better by then !

Sometime in august behind closed doors in Saudi Arabia ( with a spanner in the billiards room)

I would predict Wednesday 8th May as both clubs have a gap that week.

 

[SpongebobSquarepants]

Very unlikely it would go up against Champions League when it does not have to. It will be 15th or 16th May

I really hope not. That’s the only midweek I can’t make. Who do I need to lobby, as it’s obviously really important that I’m not inconvenienced.

There's nothing to hold up the decision now, is there? As in, the only additional fixture either team could have is Chelsea could reach the Cup Final, which has no bearing on the date of the game to rearrange.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Need to give the Chelsea fans the two weeks grace or whatever it is to sign up as Members

 

[Milano]

As per usual this will be driven by Sky/TNT. Given this could have a significant bearing of who qualifies for the Europa or Conference League, given the 'niggle' that this fixture now has between fans and of returning players who are 'disliked' plus the potential that if Chelsea fail then the pressure on Pochetinno could be sack-inducing then the TV companies will defo want to screen it.
Therefore it can't clash with the Euro competitions.

 

[pasty]

Already annoyed as after careful and precise planning a mid week city break to not miss a home match, I’m now going to miss City home match. Ironically I’ll be in Rome.

 

[mile oak]

Id have completely forgotten about Chelsea at home. FFS get on and announce the date

 

[GJN1]

Can we just call it off? Point each?

 

[Kojakker]

County cup final is set for the 8th, although I doubt that was an option anyway.

 

[GJN1]

Can we just call it off? Point each?

In fact, can we do that with the remaining games? Then we can all knock off early, yeah?

 

[jackalbion]

Week commencing 13th May I'd imagine

You think the extra time between this season and next will produce better posts here?

 

[GJN1]

I just think it will give us all time to go away and reflect not just on the season but also on ourselves and how we can all return in August as better human beings.

We’ve had the extra 8 games of the euros so yes it feels like we’ve had our usual quota of football by now, I’m knackered watching so feel extra sorry for the players
