    Well, with the new dates announced for next season, the FA Cup Final is once again 1 week before the season finishes!

    We all knew the reason for it this year, with the Champions League Final being held at Wembley, UEFA rules state that the pitch must not be used for at least 2 weeks before. However, what reason do they have next year?

    The Olympics won't start till July or something, and its not as if Wembley is the main place for the Olympics. It just adds another reason to hate the FA, its amazing how ****ing stupid and careless they are. You can guarantee we will be playing a team that will get to the semis at least!

    Daft!

    Isn't it also European Championships next summer in Poland and the Ukraine?

    The FA are rushing the end of the season to give players a rest.

    FA Cup Final is on Saturday 12th May, with the season finishing a week later.

    Just because it is the Euros does not mean the fans should suffer stupid midweek trips. There will only be two teams in the FA Cup Final, I am sure they could handle on more game.

    Wigan away on boxing day or new years. They may be in the championship but they will still make us go there.

    Been twice. Went for the league which we drove, took ages, and then for the friendly when we got the train, but then decided to do works on the line after we had booked tickets so there was a bus replacement. We went to Peterborough, to a place beginning with E, then to Attleborough and then to Norwich on a bus from there...on crutches.
