Pretty crap kick off time for fans travelling on the day of the game. Tiger Travel will probably be setting off around 6:00, as an example, to arrive 2 hour/hour half before kick off.

Friday 7:45pm would have probably been better, probably.

Good chance we will now get this live in Aus on ESPN. If so it will be my first viewing of the Tigers this season.

Yep! It'll be on ESPN. If you've wanted to watch matches you can watch them legally online for free on Bet365 and other gambling websites - without having to deposit any money, I think you just need an account.

I suspect you'd be a bit old to make it down to Sydney for a viewing experience in a pub in the city though.

Tiger Travel is setting off from the KC @ 5.15am as the drivers have breakfast booked @ Leicester Forest Services for 8am prompt. <laugh>
I was going to drive down for a 3pm ko but now I shall book TT and sleep on the coach even though it means getting up @ 4am FFS.

Danny Wellbeck has been pencilled in to make his long awaited return in the game against us.

Oh good. So much for Arsenal playing a strong team then. <laugh> I wonder if Jack will be back ? At least our nemesis Santi Cazorla wont be back in time. Still injured. :emoticon-0136-giggl
 
Has either club confirmed yet that Hayden and Akpom won't play? I know it's been widely reported (including by Phil Buckingham), but the original story that inspired a lot of copycat articles seemed to base its conclusions merely on a shaky interpretation of the FA rules which I think might have been wrong. I've seen nothing from either club about it.

My grandparents live up at Blackheath so you must be close-ish to them?

It's only about 15 mins drive from our village. We bought land there in 1973 and I wanted to retire in Blackheath when we quit Sydney in 2000. My wife preferred Wentworth Falls where we also had land since 1973 plus a house, so only one winner there!

We love the walking trails around Blackheath and visit quite regularly. Also has a great Fish/Chips shop and close by in the Megalong valley is a cafe there which serves the best full English breakfast in the area.

They were never going to let them play and Phil wouldn't have reported that they definitely can't unless he'd had it confirmed.
 
Viewing figures from the recent FA Cup games...

Peterborough v West Brom - 5.6m

Chelsea v Man City - 1.5m

Not only does that show that a lot of people still want to watch the FA Cup, but it shows the massive gap that still exists between games shown on terrestrial tv and games shown on Sky.
