FA Cup Semi Final draw - Brighton

[117 M34]

I’m away that weekend, is it on the bbc? Not had a telly for 15 years , but there is a tv in the cottage I am staying at :)

What do you point your furniture at?

Was hoping for one of the other two.
We're away at Brighton last game.
Knowing they could be in final May have allowed them to field a weakened side.
Got a feeling the league will go to the last day .

Yeah but if brighton are out and secure safety before that game, they are less likely to play out of their skins to cement a place in the team for the final.
Plus brighton fans will more like be willing to flog blues tickets if it is a title winning game as if the past is anything to go by in that scenario brighton will be full of blues without them.

Thanks - Its not easy to get down and back from Inverness - in fact its a fecking nightmare - I could have a week in the sun for the same price, but holiday fund goes out the window - Im coming down for this AND the Final

Sleeper down Friday return Sunday.

Its a great draw win or lose. I love going to Wembley. There in no time and well organised. Wealdstone here we come yet again.

Could look at it another way; it's good practice for the league game.

Ha ha :). The open fire, Bit boring in the summer tho

2-3pm kick off makes most sense.

Not to the TV companies it doesn't as they can't show the game then.

They still might be ;-)

It will be 5.30 on the Saturday

 

[cleavers]

3pm would be ok.

Can't be televised at that time, so no chance.

Spurs were due to play Brighton that weekend so will now have a rest before playing us in the CL

I’ve not included the last two seasons, I did these last two years in a post a few pages back

Have we played anyone decent in any of the domestic cups this season (apart from Chelsea in the final)?

Ah, ok.
What’s the total homes and always if you do?

Nope.

Oxford
Fulham
Leicester
Burton

League cup.

Rotherham
Burnley
Newport
Swansea
Brighton

FA cup.

Having said that if this was 2005 we would have struggled to get past the 4th road in both!

Burton
