Fixtures Calendar - 2023/24

[blue b4 the moon]

Fuck the team.

I’m off work Wednesday and Thursday that week. Perfect as it stands.

I was looking forward to watching the Brighton game with my mate in Denmark but I'm flying home now during the game....better for City but a pisser for us.

Last time I caught a game with him was the Raz last minute winner at Bournemouth..... without sounding morbid he's 77 now so won't get many more chances, we used to go home & away before he cleared off in '92.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

When you’re still going in three comps. in April, how else is it possible other than two games a week?

Wednesday- Saturday has been pretty standard forever.

I know travel is a mare for folks on a Sunday, but my own preference would have been us Sunday and I don't see why it couldn't have been. Apart from the obvious of giving us a major disadvantage, what is the rationale for us being Saturday?

I know I will be told to eff off by several here, but after playing RM ( which I think personally will be a lot harder than last season), Peps gonna put out a weakened team. The lads will be shot at, so more than likely gives rested Chavs an in. Then they can lose to Rags in final.....

I'm sure Real have been given plenty of time before and after their game with us.
Yep Sat and then Sun (playing Barca).
The FA and PL NEVER give us that benefit.

 

[MCFCOK2305]

Well it will be Wednesday because we will beat Real over two legs.

Can still be Thursday if we beat Real. Its all down to what days they decide the semi finals are on. If first leg is Tuesday, both league games move back a day

 

[69FACUPfinal]

So 2.5 days between Real Madrid (H) and Chealsea (Wembley) - I don't think the powers that be want us to do the Treble again, do you?

I agree with you . Clear and more obvious than a delayed VAR decision.....

 

[chesterbells]

These both Sky games?

Do they ever go out of their way to give any team that?

 

[Corky]

The F.A shouldn't have meaningless friendlies in March/April..it's such ridiculous timing coming at the business end of the season.
Not having a pop at you by the way..

It is a FIFA thing world wide, and the players don't have to play, they want to.

 

[Alfie Budd]

These both Sky games?

Yes.

 

[Vic]

So no-one knows which day the Brighton and Forest games will be played until 6 and 9 days before? (Assuming UEFA are prompt with the dates for the CL semi final)

Exactly that ... some geniuses run the game!

 

[lancs blue]

You think those fixtures are bad? Try this lot around European SF.

 

[Corky]

Not sure what will happen with ticket sale for the variable aways?

Sales normally 3.5 weeks before, Brighton needed a device last year, Forest was paper. Brighton was hard enough to do anyway, Everton away was bad in 18/19 arranged short notice with hundreds of regulars not going.

Likelihood is most people will buy for Forest and it is a bonus if moved, but avoid Brighton.

Looks like games on Good Friday, Easter Saturday and Easter Monday before the SF first leg two days later.
The old school Football League management certainly didn’t go out of its way to help teams playing in Europe!

Yep, that's what it was. Liverpool also had a 2nd leg of the Fairs Cup SF against Leeds on the 28th so the league match at Maine Rd on the Monday was mostly reserves.

 

[Pegasus]

So running late on announcing TV picks for weekend of 4th / 5th May??

Late for whole of May actually except the last gameweek, which is always done during that midweek itself.

 

[Blue Smarties]

Concert at the Co Op Live that night. Will be interesting to see how the trams manage.

Utter cunts. They must know this game falls in between the CL semi finals if we get there so why move the game at all. Leave it at 3.00pm rather than piss about with it.

 

[CTID1999]

Do we think Spurs (A) will be the midweek before the last game?
