Any whispers as to when this is likely to be rescheduled for?

It's a pain for us trying to work out attendance on a work day, so is ridiculous the PL didn't already have the date ready considering it was a possibility. But what about the Bournemouth fans - they've had to arrange getting home at who knows what time on a Monday morning only for the game to be moved, potentially to next week and no one knows when yet.

And the PL will say they don't need an independent regulator because they know what they're doing...
 
When TV in their infinite wisdom decided to move the game they knew there was a chance that it would have to be moved. So announce the revised date at the same time so that if we reached the final everyone, including Bournemouth fans would know the minute the semi final whistle blew when the game would be played. Surely it's not that hard is it?
 
They will move it to either Tues, 20th .. or Weds, the 21st ... i can see it coming in my crystal palace, oops i mean crystal ball!

Certainly won't help the Bournemouth fans much though, unless they fancy spending a night in a Manchester hotel .

Same night as Europa Final. Doesn’t mean it’s impossible. But if I’m Sky TV, I’d be pushing for it on the Tuesday, rather than potentially have it up against United on another channel.

The PL and football in general gave up giving a shit about match going fans years ago .

Ahh right hadn't thought of that, well day after then no doubt the Thursday 22nd possibly.

Either way it'll be a silly night game with a 7.30 kick off

Tuesday 20th I heard as a strong tip off from a mate within the club, but he did say not 100% yet.
 
So more than 72 hours after knowing the game had to be shifted and the useless bastards at the PL and broadcasters can't tell us when it will be played. They are totally fucking incompetent.
How the fuck can City expect fans to commit to a certain number of games a season when this is how we're treated?
Obviously the club might be screaming at them to sort it out, and at the FA to confirm the cup final KO time, but somehow I doubt it.

This season the PL have been announcing the rescheduling of fixtures because of fa cup games at the end of the week. It will be announced tomorrow or Friday at the latest but no reason I can see why they can't get the news out there quicker for the supporters.

Be interesting to see if the other 19 are treated with such contempt. I think a lot of this is death by a 1000 cuts as the 'game' fears our lawyers will make it pretty hard to charge us without dragging some of the red cartel in.....

The only other teams affected in this case are Palace and Wolves, and the Beeb still has them meeting on the Sunday.

You could argue that Palace and Wolves fans are getting treated even worse than ourselves and Bournemouth.
That game isn’t on TV so the two clubs can just sort it out for themselves without a broadcaster (in our case Sky) having to be involved.
