It used to be the highlight of the football calendar and everything was based around it.
Sadly, it's now the other way round

I know we're all blaming the BBC and the Police, but this kick-off time farce is yet another example of how far the FA Cup Final's prestige has fallen.

I see it the same as the Carabou to be honest now. The prices suggest the FA see it on a par with the Champions League!

At one time it was the only live club football match on tv. Used to love the all day build up, cup final it’s a knockout, teams leaving their hotel etc. shame those days have gone.
 
I messaged the club regarding ko time for cup final , typical reply , we understand it’s frustrating but we are waiting on FA to confirm ko time and hope to have an update soon !!

Thanks for the update. Perhaps we will get an update on Friday? If City and Palace started working on this on Monday, a natural deadline would be the Friday.

Same! My dad is a huge Boss fan and bought mine to go along with him, I'm more of a casual fan.

Just dropped the first hint I would sooner be at the game......
 
I can only assume that the FA and TV have agreed a time but it now needs to be signed off by Met police and, more importantly, Brent Council.

But knowing the FA, they probably sent the request by second class post.

If we're lucky, it might turn up as item 26 on the Council's meetings agenda, just before the afternoon tea and digestive biscuits break.

This viewpoint crops up occasionally and it's quite correct I feel. It brought the domestic season to an end. However, semis at Wembley, domestic season still ongoing, daft kick off times have all diluted it's prominence. Mainly down to the FA of course.

Yeah the competition needs a complete overhaul but it won't happen
