Seems that is what this article is saying as well. ITV want to show our game on the Saturday evening.
See here: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-city/8381616/Manchester-Citys-heavy-schedule-forces-authorities-to-put-FA-Cup-semi-final-plans-with-United-on-hold.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/footba ... -hold.html</a>
Also, I can't understand all this talk of having an early kick-off because of 'security issues'. If it was the final itself, do you think the police would be looking to move the kick-off time to an early start because of security issues? If we are knocked out of Europe on Thursday, we'll be playing at 5.30pm on the Saturday. If not, it could be anytime on the Sunday (no guarantee it would be an early kick-off on the Sunday either).
