    I've known for a long time that our match with the Gooner's is an early kick-off at 12.45PM I presumed because it was going to be on Sky TV. However, it appears that this game is NOT being televised as far as I can see ? Therefore, why on earth are we playing a day earlier than everyone else, especially when the Cup Final is taking place in London later in the day ? makes no sense <doh> Can anyone enlighten me please ?

    I believe the reason that we're playing Saturday whilst everyone else is playing Sunday, is due to engineering works on the Tube. The reason for the early kick off is, I presume, so that the fans are well out of the way before the cup final kicks off at teatime.

    Just been surfing the net and it appears that the game is being shown live in several other countries so there should be a good stream to be found <ok>

    I think this game could be best viewed from behind a sofa. I do fear this one and hope I am wrong.

    Bloody marvellous, Canary fans around the Globe can watch it live, but here in Nelson's county we've got to make do with a dodgy internet stream if we can find one ! <grr>

    Nice one Supers! I'm going to the Cup final so maybe our paths might cross but then again maybe not!

    I'm not, I lost out in the ballot for the fourth ****ing time this year (Chelsea, Spurs and Liverpool before now) so I'm well pissed off! I've never been to WHL or the Emirates so they were the two games this season I was most looking forward to getting to, looks like I'll have to make do with a dodgy feed once more :(

    i didn't get tickets in the norwich end - i didn't even attempt to to be honest. an arsenal friend of mine has a box and i'm in there along with two other city fans! no chance of me running on the pitch like the liverpool fan did though...

    My father in law is a senior blazer at the FA and he gave me his ticket allocation! My youngest is a Liverpool supporter! <grr> I didn't do a good enough job in brainwashing him!

    As a referee JWM, can you still get tickets for the Cup final?
    I used to in the 80s when I was refereeing.

    It's something to go with railway works, and I don't see why we can't give them a game. We are due a good performance.
