It's the FA cup - *Everyday'saSaturday3pmKO.Thought Maidstone whoever they play may have got a better slot than a Monday on ITV4.
Football is becoming like that John Cleese school master sketch in 'The meaning of life'.I'm assuming Preston would get moved to the Friday if we get there? Or would we just play Saturday/Monday?
I just don’t see why the cup game could not be on the Saturday other than of course one competition is EFL and the other FA - it’s just stupidly crazy. All designed to help Premier League clubs and sod the restStones boss: Don’t make us play two days before FA Cup tie
Manager George Elokobi says it would be unfair if Maidstone have to play a league game two days before their FA Cup fifth-round tie.www.kentonline.co.uk
It's not ideal, but if we are also playing 2 days before it's not completely unfair on them.
Not even all premier league clubs either. Just a few stupidly rich ones in the top 6I just don’t see why the cup game could not be on the Saturday other than of course one competition is EFL and the other FA - it’s just stupidly crazy. All designed to help Premier League clubs and sod the rest
This round is entirely midweek - so we’re opening the round which is something, I guess…Thought Maidstone whoever they play may have got a better slot than a Monday on ITV4.

1. MR said on CWR last night the game will be played on the Friday.So I guess the intrigue now is:
1. Preston date - will it move?
2. Ticket Prices
3. Maidstone Allocation
Full house??? Really?1. MR said on CWR last night the game will be played on the Friday.
2. Doug knows it will probably be a full house so i imagine ticket pricing won't be as cheap as the 3rd & 4th round.
3. 4.5K will be the max.
Allowing ST holders more time to reserve their seat and apply their ticket to their card would really help. Using my phone screen didn’t work last night, nor did the print out.Full house??? Really?
was impressed with numbers last night - bloody hope some changes are made to get people in though
Who cases, neither of us are going to win itAs an aside, In what logical world are Blackburn 50/1 with PP and SkyBet to win the FAC and we're 80/1?
They are at home to Newcastle, we're playing a team in Weymouth's league.

Wouldn't be that hard, Leeds and Southampton same scenario, they'll put the play final back a week an swap with the L1 finalObviously incredibly unlikely to happen but what on earth would they do if we made both the FA Cup Final and Play-Off Final considering they’re due to be played on the same weekend?

The FA will obviously use VAR to ensure that we don't win the semi-final.... should we get there.Obviously incredibly unlikely to happen but what on earth would they do if we made both the FA Cup Final and Play-Off Final considering they’re due to be played on the same weekend?
Probably not but i'd expect at least 25K as they will sell their allocation and we had 17K home fans last night.I doubt we will sell out for the game
Really I have been amazed at the size of the attendances against Oxford and Wednesday just remember where we were a few years agoAttendance was pretty disappointing last night, especially given how many of our fans were whinging on social media that they couldn’t find a stream. We love to bang the drum that we’ve got class support but the stadium was close to half empty with £15 tickets for a game we were very likely to win well. I’d like to think we’ll get a lot in for Maidstone but doubt it will be - sell out.
2K more than Saints v Watford last night and they've not played each other 4 times since boxing day.Attendance was pretty disappointing last night, especially given how many of our fans were whinging on social media that they couldn’t find a stream.

You got there in the end.then!Allowing ST holders more time to reserve their seat and apply their ticket to their card would really help. Using my phone screen didn’t work last night, nor did the print out.
I read the article and seems they’ve sent an email to the league to make the request.Stones boss: Don’t make us play two days before FA Cup tie
