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

If it's 4.30 then after factoring in ET and pens we would have thousands trying to get back on just two trains. 3.00pm as it should be, means there would probably be five options.

Definitely 4:30. Apparently the met have this game down as high risk

If it's 4.30pm, that will explain why the announcement has been delayed as I would like to think City would have pushed back against that.

They're probably clearing it with the BBC so it doesn't clash with the bloody Eurovision song contest....oh and Everton of course lol.
Joking apart it's a disgrace. Our club can't even post we have the East side allocated, we only know because Palace have put on their website they have the West side.

Well I have just messaged my contact and he still has it as 3pm so apologies of causing any confusion. Always post stuff like his in good faith so people can assess and make plans

Definitely 4:30. Apparently the met have this game down as high risk

I’ve also been told 16:30 and just booked the 20:31 back on that basis
Staying Friday

Why on earth?!

 

[maccieblue]

Definitely 4:30. Apparently the met have this game down as high risk

Then surely the met would want a 3pm ko

 

[Axel Freed]

Why on earth?!

Palace have some fans who scarily all wear black t shirts to intimidate people and City fans are oikish Northerners

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

Please feel free to tell me and the other posters on Blue Moon that story .

I didn't know until I decided to look it up today but it's related to a murder from 160 years ago but probably best to let people google it themselves.

Poor kid. Remembered, but perhaps not in the right way.

Anyway, 4.30pm? Think I'll just drive.

 

[Penworthamblue]

Scheduling M6 closures & train cancellations ?

I've just got up mate after my night shift fully expecting the kick off time announced so I can book the the train and still nothing, really is pathetic

If high risk surely 3pm would be more appropriate

 

[Master-Lotus]

I said over a month ago, we're finishing 3rd and winning the FA Cup.

Doubters go to sleep!

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

They can fuck off. It's a complete shit show so I'm not going and putting money in the FA's pocket. I'll watch on the TV and save myself the expense.

 

[levets]

To be honest with the way the fans are being treated over this then should we win the cup I would have no issue if City declined to participate in the Community Shield in early August. It has been done before.
Due to our participation in the CWC we have already requested a delay to our first league match next season which has been declined.

Yes, and I have no desire to play the rats at Wembley

 

[CTID1988]

The ticket prices are disgusting

I am getting to that point myself, I suspect many others are as well.

High risk would be 15.00 surely.

 

[Blue Mist]

I am getting to that point myself, I suspect many others are as well.

I posted couple of days back that I was close to saying 'fuck you'.
I'm a cynical bastard and I'm beginning to think they do it on purpose.

Why can't City say something to the fans ? Explain what the delay is, whose causing it etc. I'm seriously pissed off.
Death by a 1000 cuts.

Why can’t the FA just say it’s 3:00 KO and for the broadcasters to just deal with it. this is beyond a joke
