Slightly better than 5.30 and I may risk trianing it now.

Why can't it be 3pm ffs?. As far as I'm aware there are no other games that day. It's just a complete piss take.

And wonder why the Cup has lost it's magic. The BBC build up, from lunchtime , was often just as good if not better than the final. It helped make it a unique experience.

Have the FArce ever explained why we have these ridiculous kick off times? It is the English FA Cup. First consideration should be for the fans of the two English teams competing!

Many times. It's for TV.

With 200 PL games a season, champions league, championship, Spanish, German and Italian football and smart phones and the like, the huge build up of yesteryear just wouldn’t work anymore.
The FA Cup losing its magic is directly related to finishing 4th being more important than a trophy, getting relegated is viewed so badly and football on tv isn’t a novelty anymore.

Why do people like 3pm kick offs? Love a later kick off

Doesn't bother me either but all depends where you have to get back to/transport issues.
