[Albion] When are we likely to play Cardiff at home?

[Falmerfourtickets]

It was assumed this would be w/c 11th March but that seems unlikely now.
Obviously other fixtures such Chelsea and I assume Spurs will also have to be rearranged.

Thanks in advance

April 2nd is the earliest date I think although they are playing Chelsea on Sunday the 31st March

Suspect they are waiting for the forthcoming European games and Millwall game to be concluded. If we beat Millwall, the only dates we could play Spurs would be April 3rd or April 23rd.

The midweeks before are out due to an International break. The Champions League Quarter-Finals are due to be played April 9/10 and 16/17. The Semi-Finals April 30/May 1 & May 7/8.

Sky have Arsenal vs Newcastle and Wolves vs Man Utd on TV on April 1/2, so could put us on the Wednesday.

Sky have Chelsea vs Burnley on Monday April 22nd and Man Utd vs Man City on Wednesday April 24th, so could put us on the Tuesday.

With Chelsea playing on Monday 22nd, and potentially facing the same European schedule as Spurs, you'd have thought the most likely night for that would be April 3rd?

So April 23rd will probably be Spurs vs Albion or Albion vs Cardiff.

IIRC UEFA don't like top flight games clashing with Euro-weeks unless there's no other options.

Why is the w/c 11th March out btw?

 

[BensGrandad]

I would suggest Wed 20th March, Wed after the Millwall cup game as the following week could be taken up with a replay.

No it can’t international break, players will be coming back midweek.

He didn’t rule it out. He just said it was ‘unlikely now’ (given that it is only nine days from now, he’s almost certainly right)

 

[BensGrandad]

OK I give up, it just shows the problems the club have sorting it out.

Brighton vs. Cardiff won't present a problem then.
