That is irrelevant. It is getting to Kings X to connect with a train to get you there. And there is only one. And, any delays, a not unknown phenomenon on our railway system, and you are ****ed. Last train back is 17.29 getting you back in just before midnight, which would be a bit awkward for a 3pm kick off. Then you have to get home. And for this you would only have to pay about 75% of the net wages of someone on minimum wage, plus ticket for the game, food, drink etc. Now, I realise these are short distances in Australia but it is still a bind for fans. Not to mention the cost. Also makes you laugh when you listen to Talksport and listen to how difficult it is for the rugby fanatics to get difficult places like Wakefield, Leeds and Wigan after suffering nightmare journeys of 2 hours.
There will probably be a few replays as well, so expect there to be even more undecided 6th round ties.
Fair points made ^^^^ here. It is ITV who want the exclusive draw bit and lets hope that when the BBC take over from ITV from next season the draw will be delayed untill all ties have been played. No need at all to have any draw made early. Ok postponed games cannot be helped but the ITV really have killed the draw imo. As for SB team selection i dont see much of a change from his normal FAC selections. They have tried and failed many times. PL wont allow it. More than likely. Lets face it if we say draw Charlton away that would replace the PL game @ West Ham as an example. But what interest would it really have ?
charlton in the QF would have huge interest, a lower league side on the verge of a semi final with a chance of knocking a premier league side out. Plus they are a london club
Just had an email from one of the guys that I play cricket with offering me his season tickets for the Arsenal vs. Liverpool 5th round tie. £87.50 each FFS. £15 is a great deal.
