I'd imagine week before on a Wednesday night. Anything to lessen our chances in the cup final.If we get to the cup final, will Bournemouth move to midweek before or after?

Play it on 21st May be gr8.We win fa cup show it of that night and kdb last home game. Surely sky know that's gonna get a tv audience.Bournemouth (H) gets postponed from that Sunday night slot on 18th May ... FA Cup Final against Palace slots in on Saturday 17th May (time to be confirmed) ... the most likely slot for the last home game of the season against Bournemouth will now be on Tue 20th or Wed 21st May ... but could be played on Tue 13th or Wed 14th as well ...
So now we wait for FA to announce the time for the Final and for PL to announce the re-arranged date for our last home game.

The problem Sky has is that the Europa League final is on that Wednesday and the potential viewing figures for a Spurs v rags clash (probably free to watch on TNT’s YouTube channel) would dwarf anything City v Bournemouth could hope to attract. Even if only one of them gets to the final, it’s going to be tough to compete for neutral viewers.Play it on 21st May be gr8.We win fa cup show it of that night and kdb last home game.

I'd be shocked if it is. The broadcasters will want a 5:00-5:30pm kickoff as they insisted on a decade or so ago. Only way it could be 3:00pm is on police advice (as was the case for the two rags finals) which won't be happening this year.Is cup final likely to be 3pm given there are no prem games that day.
Bummer. BBC pushing for 3pm due to Eurovision apparently ! Let’s hope they have some sway.I'd be shocked if it is.

I loathe Eurovision more than most things but may have a rethink if it means we get another 3pm cup final!Bummer. BBC pushing for 3pm due to Eurovision apparently ! Let’s hope they have some sway.
Is an extra week to do the building work more important than giving us a better chance of winning the fa cup?Heard that City are pushing for Bournemouth to be before the cup final to give them a greater window for the stadium works.
But maybe playing it week after slightly lessens our chance of securing top 5 league (?)Is an extra week to do the building work more important than giving us a better chance of winning the fa cup?
Broad as it is long for me. Play it Tuesday night. 3 days after Southampton, 4 days before the final. Seal top 4 apart from the shouting and win the pot on the Saturday.Is an extra week to do the building work more important than giving us a better chance of winning the fa cup?
Exactly the above said. Win next 3 games almost surely guarantees you top 5 and then fa cup final and you do your job before the final week much betterBroad as it is long for me.
