Wolves away

[BringBackSwales]

Any inclination as to when this will be rearranged for? I’d heard a rumour Wednesday May 11th, anyone heard anything?

10th-12th May or 17th-19th May are the only available midweeks.

Whichever they announce will play a role in the title race as we'll either be playing a game behind or a game in front of Liverpool for half a week.

Now we're out of the FA Cup I don't know why they haven't announced it.

We’re playing on Sunday 8th and Sunday 15th so would have to be the Wednesday following one or the other you’d think. Could be discussions over TV as there are probably games already scheduled for both dates? Stand by for a 6.00 ko time!

Could it be the 19th?

Before West Ham game would be better

I suspect Sky would prefer it to be played in the final week of the season for maximum impact.

We play West Ham on the Sunday so shouldn’t play on the Tuesday. There are already 3 PL games scheduled for Thursday 19th, none on the Wednesday. Wednesday 18th is the date of the Europa League final. Could it be that PL fixtures cannot clash with that final?

It SHOULD be played at the first possible opportunity which is Weds 11th May.

It won't be though as it gives us the jump on Liverpool. It will probably be played the following midweek

Perhaps they’re waiting to see if West Ham are in it - wouldn’t be such a TV clash if not.

I was thinking more in terms of it being a UEFA restriction. Can’t see them being happy if a massive, possibly title deciding televised PL fixture, clashes with one of their showpiece finals

I think the fact that the three games already scheduled are on the Thursday is a good give away that Uefa won't let games clash.

Worth noting that none of the 3 game on the 19th could be played the week earlier as those playing already have a match.
