FA Cup Semi-Final | City v Chelsea | Sat 20 Apr 5:15pm SOLD OUT

[Otamendi's Beard]

Who had the Boxpark against United? I thought it usually goes to whoever is on the West Side but can’t remember us having it against United. Had to make do with the Chrystal club

We had it against Utd. Was good last year.

Yes was gutted that my train was too late to get to boxpark.
Had a couple in hotel instead

Hopefully it's Sunday
Shit train or flight times but hotels more affordable

 

[Danny Hoekman]

A lot of interest in this semi.

Loads of bus's being organised.

It will sell quickly

Yes, our coach became fully booked straight away.

A month is very short notice to people booking trains and coaches or accomodation if thinking of staying over.

the fixtures should have already been announced, not at the whim of itv/bbc

That Coventry game was already moved once as it was meant to have been played QF weekend.
So really you're asking them to move 2 games for 1 match and 1 of those games has already been moved.

EXCLUSIVE BY MATT HUGHES: The FA are understood to have initially requested a 4pm kick-off for United v Coventry - but this has now been changed by the police.

United 3.30 on the Sunday apparently.

Struggling to catch last train back if it goes to extra time. Fans screwed over again. WTF can't we have the 3.30 slot on Sunday. 5.15 on Saturday with one, maybe two possible trains home on Saturday with that stupid ko time.

Given it's 'that' source' material...if they reported at 3am that it's dark outside...I would open the curtains to check.

Did they call it "woke" kick off times?

Hmm. Just 3 days after an epic struggle with Real Madrid. Looking at what happened in 2022 we may have to prepare ourselves for a mishmash team selection, making the tie even tougher than it already is. I remain firmly of the belief that playing sunday wouldve been far better for us.

Unless it's a similar game to last season and we have it won with 30 minutes to go....

I'm not sure why they can't make it a 4.45pm kick-off like last season. Sure, it's only half an hour but it could make all the difference in making that last train

Should help boost numbers always more willing to go when they have the Sunday to recover.

If it does turn out to be that I’m pretty happy with it.
