The authorities couldn't run a fecking bath.

So many restrictions,restrictive practices, inconsistencies, illogical decisions and couldn't give a fuck attitudes.

Sunday at 15:30 is more prime than Saturday at 17:15? You learn something new every day.

Edit: According to this article your claim is wrong.

Few people not happy with the Saturday, but on a brighter note, if we get through, we’ll have 24 hours to book up all the travel and accommodation for the final before the Rags know their fate

 

[HelloCity]

Putting us on the Saturday knowing we play Real Madrid on the Wednesday is just sabotage tbh. Not the first time they’ve done this.

Looks like it won't be officially confirmed until later today. From the Mail article:

The decision is expected to be confirmed at a meeting of the local Safety Advisory Group, which also includes Brent Council, later on Friday.
