Newcastle rearranged date?

[KingCarlito]

Anyone know when this away game will be given a date?

 

[berryblue]

Should be soon now we are out of the FA Cup. W/C 18th April is free?

 

[Carlos- the- jackal]

Anyone know when this away game will be given a date?

Will be March 26th which is FA cup quarter final weekend.

 

[mancity dan]

Will be March 26th which is FA cup quarter final weekend.

That's an international weekend isn't it?

 

[Latics Fan SJK]

That's an international weekend isn't it?

Yep, Germany v England

 

[East Level 2]

Will be March 26th which is FA cup quarter final weekend.

So which famous cup competition is having quarter finals on the weekend of 12th March?

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Presumably sticking it on the cup weekend will have to wait until the TV companies decide when Utd are playing.

So we could be playing both Norwich away and Newcastle away that weekend? Fucking hell, we'll have to put the kids out again!

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

We could play them one after the other, in York. Would enable even more people to have been to York away!

Er, yes. Um.
Should have read the thread further down where someone corrected Carlos.

 

[SWP's back]

Have we got a date yet?

 

[Ric]

Have we got a date yet?

Nothing yet, but I don't really understand why a date hasn't been found.

 

[BringBackSwales]

It will be once they have sacked a manager who is losing every game to just after they have appointed a new one and are playing better

It's very odd

 

[coleridge]

Haha. Don't you just know it.

 

[Kompany is King]

Maybe a journalist will ask club representative?

Given our champions league involvement is it better for us to play sooner rather than later.

Beat Kiev & get favourable quarter final draw we could make the semi-final.

Maybe City want an April date when Nasri & DeBruyne are anticipated back.

 

[mat]

Knowing City it'll be weds between le arse and Swansea.

I've just looked at this, and I reckon there are ony two midweeks between now and the end of the season when PL fixtures could be played, assuming they have to abide by that ridiculous UEFA requirement that no games can be scheduled on days when CL games are played. (And also taking into account that ridiculous UEFA decision to set aside Easter weekend for international friendlies, meaning no games can be played the midweek before or after).

So the available dates are: 19/20 April and 11/12 May (the midweek before the last set of fixtures). The practice is to play a rearranged game at the earliest possible date so we'll presumably go to the Geordies on Tuesday 19 or Wednesday 20 April.

No valid reason I can think of for not announcing it now. I can only assume that they're waiting to see what happens in the FA Cup next week, and then they'll announce in one go all the games that need to be arranged in the rest of the season. Why help the fans out by confirming as early as possible to help them make plans, after all? (Sarcasm).

You are joking, aren't?

It's nailed on that we'll draw,Barcelona, Real Madrid or FC Bayern.
