FA Cup 5th Round Draw (against Chelsea Home)

I'm hoping for a Friday night kick off. When was our last Friday night game?
I suspect the answer is V Birmingham City in 2000, before we clinched promotion, complete with premature pitch invasion.

I doubt very much that TV will allow it to be played Friday, or that City will want it 2 days after Sunderland.
 
Quite relaxed about the draw. Would rather Chelsea at home than away. If we beat them, then only one of our difficult opponents from the three Arsenal/Liverpool, Everton/Swansea and Sunderland/Southampton games will still be in it with one more round before the Wembley semis.

Timing could have been better, but we have a strong squad, if deployed correctly ahead of the Barca, and still fit of course.

No we played a few Friday night games in 2001-2002 season . I remember we played Bradford City away on a Friday night .
 
I wonder if anyone has considered the idea of perhaps moving this tie to a day immediately prior to the Saturday / Sunday scenario?
Worth thinking about!

I think it may have been mentioned once or twice!
