It hasn't been decided yet but hopefully we should know today or tomorrow
It's in FA Cup fixture lists as Sat 19th Feb when Everton play their replay with Chelsea. The other 5th round ties will be played on the same day, but not a mouthwatering prospect amongst any of them.tueartsboots said:It hasn't been decided yet but hopefully we should know today or tomorrow

It can't be - there are internationals then.
It'll almost certainly be the weekend of the 5th round ties but with the Rags being at home to Crawley the delay in announcing the actual day will probably be down to which cup games get selected for TV, coupled with the GMP not being keen on both teams being at home on the same day.
Watching the game with mid sussex blues on sunday and after next round draw our treasurer said it would be over a weekend but didnt know if sat or sun.Kakhaber Tskhadadze K.O.T.A. said:M18CTID said:It can't be - there are internationals then.

Most probably be us they move to Sunday as rags play in France in Champs league the following Wednesday and we play Europa the day after.

With most clubs playing the 5th Round during that weekend, I can't see our replay being televised, so I'd guess the Saturday. The Aris away game, the midweek before is Tuesday so that wouldn't have any bearing on it.[/b]
I'm really looking foward to a home FA Cup tie with a 3pm Saturday Kick-off, if that what it turns out to be!

But the Aris home leg is on the following Thursday (24th) and rags play Marseille the night before on the Wednesday (23rd) so it will most probably us that will be moved to Sunday (20th)
