shame

by the end of February we will inevitably have lost top spot but we will I believe have 5 games in hand on Bournemouth and 3 on Huddersfield. That's a lot of games to catch up and how many points I wonder?

this cup run could really come back to haunt us so we had better at least get a mega draw in the next round to compensate.

 

[sir albion]

Yeah thats a lot of catching up and it always seems to be home games that get cancelled,shame we can't still play on the monday

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Given the money involved I wonder if the club will try and get it on. After all they have recovery time until the following Saturday and do play 2 games in 3 days over Christmas and Easter.

A further day could result in 'X' number of games in so many days in any case.

 

[One4the.road]

I wonder if Gus would want to play saturday and monday

 

[Tony Le Mesmer]

It won't be on - Football league and FA wont allow it

 

[kevtherev]

If we get drawn at home we could play the tie on the Friday night. Then it would not be alot different to a Sat/Tues schedule.

Why ?

I don't think its inevitable. FA Cup weekend Bouremouth and Hudds play each other so someone's got to drop points and can't see Bournemouth keeping this run going forever?

 

[hastings]

Any chance the cup could be played on Friday night?

 

[scotjem]

Its an ill wind. I'm away that weekend but thought I wouldn't be missing anything. Now, however,...

[One4the.road]

Blimey were did you here the Friday night bit at this stage

Why will we inevitably not be top by the end of feb personally I think we have a great chance to stay top for a while yet

SKY will be showing a game Monday night as there is no PL program that weekend, so they will probably change the match, they must have factored in we're still in the Cup. But our match with Plymouth could be played Tuesday/Wednesday night that week but not be live on SKY.

As for Friday night, well there are only 8 matches in 5th round and probably 3 or 4 will be on live. Depends who we get, Spurs & Arsenal are playing CL on 15th/16th against Milan/Barca so they won't play Friday night, whereas ManU/Chelsea don't play until 22nd/23rd so they might fancy Friday night for an extra day prep.

 

[Giraffe]

I have a feeling it will stick where it is. Remember Sky run football, so if they have scheduled it that's probably it. Could therefore see the match being played on the Friday or Saturday and then still playing on the Monday night against Plymouth. As someone else said why not, it's only the same as at Christmas, and gives us an extra day after that for the Saturday match.

 

[Dirty Dave]

On Saturday 23rd April we play home to Southampton and then on Easter Monday 25th April we are away to Colchester.

What's the difference between that and playing our cup game on Saturday 19th Feb, with the Plymouth game as scheduled on Monday 21st Feb (plus an extra few hours with the evening k/o)?

 

[Shoreham Beach Seagull]

We can't have it on the Friday its my 18th birthday can't have me missing it

 

[empire]

pretty sure,sky dont cancel games, it will be on

 

[Beach Hut]

pretty sure,sky dont cancel games, it will be on

I doubt it unless we draw Chelsea/Everton who are replaying their cup-tie on the 18th.

That is the only way the game will be on.
