FA Cup Final | Crystal Palace (N) | Sat 17 May 4:30pm

[OntarioBlue]

I’ve just realised that we will still have two Premier League games after the FA cup final. Whatever happened to the days when the final was the last game of the season ?

City have requested 4pm kick off.

Miles better for us this time around in my opinion.

Club World Cup starts on the 14th June, last Premier League weekend is May 25th. Hopefully the last game of the season is irrelevant and the players can go and put their feet up for 2-3 weeks.

Better than playing the Final on June the 1st and them barely getting a break.

Hearing that the first 20,000 tickets for the final are going to be offered to fans who purchased a semi final ticket.
About time City did something to rewards fans loyality.

Nice idea but I can't see it happening.

Even City wouldn't be that stupid. Unless the FA want 5-00 or 5-15 and City offered 4-00 as a compromise.

No chance

 

[journolud]

Interesting if true. I went to the semi but not any of the other rounds and while I can see some logic in this I would feel for regular home and awayers who gave the semi a miss for there own valid reasons who might miss out on the final

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Never going to happen with people on the cup scheme.

 

[Tbilisi]

Never thought I would give a shit about Eurovision.

Full series of international games at the end of the season.

that would be a good idea, if we can get the bulk of what was there yesterday in the ground we will have a good end

Fuck sake.

Although 7=10th June roughly, get CL qualification wrapped up and hopefully they can miss Fulham (A) and at least get a week then. Wouldn't be surprised if City are asking for players to be left out of international squads. Especially with Fifa running it.

 

[Leeky]

The TV blackout stops it being 3 on Saturday

All Premier league games on Sunday, EFL will be done and dusted

 

[Tbilisi]

Will we sell out?






Only joking.

Where are you hearing this? Would be a controversial decision by the club. But can see it happening…

 

[Stretford Born Blue]

Apparently, supporters club members will need to purchase their tickets as for the Semi, ie, you’ll tell your OSC admin that you want a ticket, then OSC will be allocated some blocks, from which you’ll need to log in and pick your own seats from those blocks.
If you intend buying a group of tickets, you’ll need to make sure the members are in your friends and family list.

There's no other PL games that day, there's a game on the Friday night, all the rest are on the Sunday with one more on the Monday, so there's no clash with the final.

How bizarre, I just checked

So 1 PL game Friday night, the rest on Sunday

Obvs planned with the Cup Final in mind but if this not a 1500 ko then a stink should be made.

Why the hell it hasn't been set already, I wrongly assumed there would be PL games on the Saturday.

It's all a bit bonkers tbh.

 

[ysmsa]

Now that would be something.

It would, a fucking ludicrous decision for starters ;-)

 

[citymad]

Hopefully, we'll be able to sell out our allocation.

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

How does that work? It was 3pm last two seasons.

Press reporting that BBC pushing for 3pm so it doesn’t clash with Eurovision ! Jesus Christ !

Which is laughable as there are only two sections of society that watch Eurovision. And hardly either of them bother with football ;)
