Liverpool In Europa on Thursday, so they’re Sunday, which means we will be on Sat, early or late, I think.

We've no game on Wednesday 13th March
Apologies. All screwed up! Corrected.
Lets hope they don’t move Brighton game UP to midweek after Liverpool and before Barcodes!!

The early Six Nations game (2:15pm) is on BBC but the two later kickoffs (4:45pm and 8:00pm) are both ITV.
As the Newcastle game will presumably be on BBC, no reason why it can’t be later on Saturday unless they’re worried viewer numbers might be seriously impacted by going head to head with the rugby.

Can't do that Brighton play on the Thursday in Europe.
Excellent! Gives us a nice respite and recovery for a full strength team, with a few getting “niggles & injuries” in the game for the international break that follows!!

It was late, and I had to be up for work so wasn't really paying attention.
I think that lead us towards being Saturday tea-time on BBC. They wont be worried by a clash - in fact might want it to mess up ITV viewing figures. But in this day and age it doesnt matter - last Saturday I had two televisons side by side so that I could watch Scotland and City win. And this week we have had football on both BBC1 and ITV1 at the same time - much to the annoyance of those who don't like football. Or (my hope) Friday evening.

Same ticket allocation as as Hudds minus 5% cos the georgies have more fat bastards.
So City will have 47000 bouncing about.

Think they'll get more as I don't think Huddersfield requested the full amount they were entitled to. Burnley had 7800 when we played them last season so I'd expect Newcastle to get the same

Happy with the draw for us and also avoids the nauseating prospect of the Dippers and Rags getting to the semi finals and avoiding each other there.
Could just imagine the jizz storm about the possibility of the two cheeks meeting each other for the perfect (sic) final.

Funny that day....that fat Geordie took it well
Cheers mate, I was only joking but I'm not on the cup scheme and want to go to this one so I will be buying a ticket.
Apparently London has already being dropped to Defcon 4 knowing that only one from Rags and Dippers will be in the capitol in the coming months ;)
I'm in Ireland that weekend and that Rag v Dipper game could really ruin my St Patrick's Day Sunday if I'm unfortunate enough to be eating our meal out in some pub that has that game on. Can you imagine the types that will congregate! There'll be at least 50 lookalike and sound worse, of that Irish accented scouse fool from YouTube, whilst those supporting the rags, will to a man look as if they've just, for the first time ever, emerged from under a bridge!

Does anyone know when this will be decided? So annoying not being able to plan around Saturday or Sunday.
