When will we find out if the Leeds game will still be played or not over the Coronation weekend.Also just noticed the cup final is in June.

I’d be very surprised if there are no games whatsoever played over the entire weekend. I’d guess that there won’t be any games played on the Saturday and everything will get shifted to the Sunday or (possibly) the bank holiday Monday.When will we find out if the Leeds game will still be played or not over the Coronation weekend.
There should be games played on the Saturday, like many others I’ve no interest in watching a bunch of upper class twats jollying it up at the Taxpayers expense.I’d be very surprised if there are no games whatsoever played over the entire weekend.

First legs of Champions League semis are the following midweek which could potentially complicate things - I suppose a game could move to Friday night if necessary should CL fixtures be an issue.
I’d expect some kind of communication to come from the powers that be in the next few weeks.
Should we reach the Champions League semi finals, there are only two available spare midweeks between now and the end of the season - 2nd/3rd May and 23rd/24th May. We don't have a game on 4th/5th April but West Ham and Brighton (our opponents in the games that will potentially need rearranging) are both already playing then.Where we fitting in these two postponed games if we get to the F.A. Cup semi?

Obviously things change should we exit the CL before the semis as that would free up a couple of possible additional midweeks though West Ham are still in the Europa Conference so are in a similar boat as us in terms of when they can play.
And bear in mind that should we lose to Burnley, it's quite likely that the Brighton game would still need moving to a new date as there's every chance they will reach the semi finals after the QF draw gave them a home tie against Grimsby.
Bloody farce that the country will grind to a halt for that.There should be games played on the Saturday, like many others I’ve no interest in watching a bunch of upper class twats jollying it up at the Taxpayers expense.
No. Sunday and Wednesday are deemed to be ok.IF we make the FA Semi, are we nailed on for the Saturday due to the game v Arsenal on the following Wednesday ?
No. Sunday and Wednesday are deemed to be ok.
In fact, considering we have arsenal on the Wednesday I'd say the Sunday is almost guaranteed.
If we draw the rags in the SF then it will be Sunday if they beat Betis as the Europa QF 2nd leg is the previous Thurs.No. Sunday and Wednesday are deemed to be ok.

And using the same logic, if the rags are still in the Europa and we avoid them in the SF draw, we'll definitely be at Wembley on the Saturday.If we draw the rags in the SF then it will be Sunday if they beat Betis as the Europa QF 2nd leg is the previous Thurs.
Fairly sure i read somewhere that with the main day of the coronation being on the Saturday that the premier league matches will all get shifted to the Sunday bar the games due to take place in london. Those will get PP due to policing needs elsewhere.There should be games played on the Saturday, like many others I’ve no interest in watching a bunch of upper class twats jollying it up at the Taxpayers expense.

Almost certainly nailed-on to be on TV but anyone’s guess at this stage exactly when. Just as likely to be early/late on the Saturday as on the Sunday.I have accidently booked tickets for Beyoncé on the Saturday night in Edinburgh of the weekend we are meant to be playing Chelsea, which could very well turn out to be quite an important game. Presumably that will get shifted to the Sunday....right?
Could the game vs Leicester scheduled for Sunday 16/04 be moved ? Cheers
