I can't find any confirmation of the semi final dates / KO times. Is it me? Am I missing something?? If the dates have not yet been agreed, then what on earth are the FA waiting for? Surely the KO times have been agreed to meet TV / EUFA rules well in advance and all they needed to know was which of the 4 teams was drawn first to get the Saturday KO. Is anything holding the announcement up? Or am I such a luddite I can't complete a simple Google search???
It isnt just you and I wouldve thought they shouldve announced it yesterday afternoon at the latest. It doesnt take 36 hours to make this decision.
Cheers Bum_Chinned_Crab Phew - glad it isn't just me being a thickie. I just cant see why they couldnt have announced it immediately after the draw. They have a had a year to sort it out and whilst I know it is trivial, I need to plan for things a month away. Ho hum, guess we will just have to wait & See
ITV and BT have to decide who is showing which game and what time kick-off each game will be(they'll be working round the Premier League games on Sky), the London Marathon on the Sunday is probably also causing complications.
I think you're being a bit over demanding by saying 'immediately after the draw' as there are elements to consider, but 24 hours shouldve been enough ergo we shouldve known yesterday evening.
From Wembley Stadium; "Tickets will only be sold via the clubs involved and they will initially sell them to their season ticket holders and members. It will be unlikely any will go on general sale and there are no neutral seats." "Ticket prices are still TBC but last year they were £30 - £60 and I expect they will be around the same price. "
I don't have an issue wuth that, but my point is that they have lnown the date for years, as with London Marathon. The Premier league has been fixed since last summer and they knew the quarter finalists a few weeks ago. Surely they could have agreed the permutations in advace as there was only going to be a few combinations and then announced it earlier. This is stuff I do daily at work and I am not paid as much as the likes of BT and Sky people will be . . . .
They're waiting for Arsenals champions league fate to be confirmed. The next CL round is midweek before the semi, should Arsenal pull off a miracle they will request the Sunday slot. ITV will want to show Arsenal v Wigan but they'll also prefer the Saturday slot to avoid clashing with sky's super Sunday or whatever they call it. So ITV will be waiting to get the best pick, I'd expect dates to be confirmed tomorrow.
Official website has it as the saturday http://www.hullcitytigers.com/fixtures-results/fixtures-list/index.aspx only sell to season ticket holder and members. Does members just mean people on the database that have bought tickets previously?
Sunday the 13th 4pm kick off. its also being shown on BT Sport Also, HCAFC have been allocated the eastern side of Wembley
OK we know the semi, assuming we are through we know the final, assuming we win the FA Cup does anyone have details of when we would return to Wembley for the 3rd time for the FA Community Shield?
