Derby confirmed as Thursday, 27th April 8pm

[Rodrigo Barbosa]

May the 4th be with you.

Hi all,

I receive an a e-mail from a thomson sports about my packet of manchester derby.... its confimed the possible dates.

1 March: but only if neither City nor United are involved in an FA Cup 5th Round Replay


8 March: but only if United are knocked out of the Europa League by St Etienne on 22 February


or week commencing 24 April eg Wednesday 26th, as there are no other cup or European matches scheduled that week.


We are unlikely to know the new date until week of 20 February once the FA Cup and Europa League matches mentioned above have been played.

24th April then.

Are Thompson Sports still the only clue we have on this? I'm guessing City are being messed about because the rags will be wriggling like the feces worms they are, but City should have put some info out there. Especially if 01 March is still a possibility!

 

[SWP's back]

March 1st would be absolutely ideal

I'll keep an eye on Ragcafe as they will probably be informed first due to most of them having to book flights etc.

If it's in April we could have a 10 game month. 6 league games are already scheduled, then the United game, potentially 2 Champions League quarter-finals and a potential FA Cup semi-final.

Reckon the rags may play for the draw at Blackburn then.

It will be which every date suits the vermin the most

Not a chance it will be March 1st. They will say it's to short notice or some other excuse.
