Someone here just said that if Hull manage to win their replay, then we'd be playing them on the Saturday ( 12th ) at 12.00 !!! Surely that's a wind up ?
 
Not ideal, but at least we know a bit more. If its Hull its going to be one hell of an early start :shocked:
 
Why have the FA Cup matches been arranged as they have been. Hull City meet Arsenal on Tuesday and if Hull win we play them ofn Saturday. If Arsenal win we play on Sunday. What I do not understand is if we play Arsenal on Sunday they then travel to Spain to play against Barcelona three days after, if they lose to Hull they play West Bromwich Albion on Saturday with another day to recover. Do the FA and EPL wish for success in Europe or not. Would a Saturday game for the FA Cup quarter final be better for all three teams. Discounting the fans who does not seem important.
 
Who knows AK and TBH, I really do not care about Arsenal and the CL - especially as they are 2 nil down anyway. From a travelling supporters point of view I would much prefer a visit to The Emirates, but from an opposition point of view, I would prefer to play Hell!
Tickets go on sale at 10.00 PM straight after the replay
 
Even Wenger has pretty much given up on the Barca tie and going by their performance at Man U yesterday they might only be playing for the FA Cup.

If the replay goes to extra time and then penalties, then ticket selling will have to be delayed for an hour surely?

If it's Arsenal we get a 9K allocation and we are playing them in the league in a few weeks, you might have a good chance AK

I think we get the option of 9,000 tickets. However, the club may decide to take less. I'm not sure we will sell 9,000 with a PL game around the corner.
 
There has also been a change in the allocation criteria as well as Watford subsidising the Upper Tier pricing at The Emirates. Will have to stay up after the game.
 
Tempted to go along on Sunday , although it would mean an early start for me ... Can anyone advise if it is likely to be a straight forward journey from Hemel Rail station to Arsenal on a Sunday , what is the best underground station for the ground ?
Just realised train from Aylesbury may well be a better option , has anyone on here done that route ?
