Our Fixtures - Now till the end of season!

[Gray]

It is about time a club (hope that is us) makes a stand against the TV companies and their demands.

What about the players and the fans?

Does anybody know IF we make the semi's finals which day the first leg would be on?

No one knows that until the final four are confirmed.

The Thursday before the Fa Cup Semi, or the Thursday before last (league) game of the season?

Both terrible options in my opinion.

Hoping common sense prevails over £££. Not holding my breath though.

Why would it be the Thurs before the FA Cup SF, rather than Tues or wed?

Cardiff have a game on the Sunday before, so I think the Tuesday is unlikely. Sky have televised games on the Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday of that week, so they have a gap.

If BT make us play the Semi Final on Sunday, then Sky will say we have enough recovery time (between those two games).

When you see the fixtures pile up like this you realise why nobody has done a Quadruple before. The pileup is going to cost us at least one trophy and I have a gut feel it might be the league.

Assuming your wife's info is right that's the best outcome we could have hoped for in the circumstances form a players perspective, obviously the kickoff time for the semi is shite for fans but that doesn't matter to FA.

Fulham sat - Cardiff wed - Brighton

If BT make us play on the Sunday when we have a Champions League quarter final on the Tuesday they can do one. Fuck all of this TV nonsense the only solution that makes sense is Cardiff 2/3 April and semifinal 6 April. Anything else is a higher probability of us losing out on a trophy because of the greedy big wig fuckers

Edit: post above mine confirms that the big wig fuckers couldn't even be that greedy. Thank fuck

Common sense prevails. Good news.
