Will be 6th Feb (Tues) as Sheff Wed have a game at Blues on the Friday
Makes sense, just throught a week on Tuesday might be a bit soon but I guess if the club's agree, it can happen.My guess would be 6/7th Feb. We've got no midweek game and that's still 3 weeks before the 5th round. Millwall game is on the Sunday that week as well so there's space for it.

I’m actually sick and tired off playing Sheffield Wednesday 4 times we’ve played them this season go away Sheffield Wednesday do one
So there is a silver lining to losing all those Saturday gamesThat’s good. They’re likely to put a very youthful side out for that only 3 days before Brum. We then don’t play til the Sunday

All cup replays are that week. Always have been 10 days after the original dateMakes sense, just throught a week on Tuesday might be a bit soon but I guess if the club's agree, it can happen.
Not when you've hotels booked and days off work sortedHope they move the Plymouth game to a weekend near the end of the season.

Dark ages??? It was so much better when replay was few days later. More intensity and bad blood etcAgree, I’m not sure why there’s even debate. Its the same every year, approximately 10 days after the original tie and has been for a very long time (although some of us can probably remember the dark ages when it was always 3 or 4 days after).
Not surprisingly, they don’t schedule league matches in the 6th/7th Feb slot.
It will most likely be Tuesday 6th as SW play on the 9th (Friday night).

This Palmer issue actually gives this tie a bit of that old school feel
It’s ironic that the ticketing only became an issue in the computer ageTotally agree, but it left very little time for anyone to plan it and ultimately I think the influence of the police stopped it as they couldn’t get organised in time. Ticketing and logistics was always a problem (especially if the replay was away from home) but we seemed to manage somehow. And it did make rematches very tasty!
As an aside, we’re probably only a few seasons away from the end of all replays in the cup competitions, the wind is definitely blowing in that direction.

Still not easy for those who work thoughManual ticketing for immediate replays was fine for those who could queue (or find someone to queue) at the ticket office on the Monday morning, not so good for the many of us who didn’t live locally or couldn’t get away from work.
It clearly makes more sense the way it’s done now, both in timing of replays and the distribution of tickets. Computerised ticketing works absolutely fine 99.9% of the time.
Queued for 9 hrs for the Cup game up at Everton. Got to the front of the queue only to be told the tickets have now sold out.Manual ticketing for immediate replays was fine for those who could queue (or find someone to queue) at the ticket office on the Monday morning, not so good for the many of us who didn’t live locally or couldn’t get away from work.

Quarter finals and semi finals are both on dates we have rare Saturday 3pm home games scheduled. Going to have to move those games to midweek on our way to Wembley
I think getting a good draw will help focus the minds of fans a bit too, everyone's got Sheff Weds fatigue atm. If we knew getting through meant getting Man City away, I think it'd add a few more to the gate and help the atmosphere.Hopefully a good 5th round draw but pity that will be another midweek game if we reach it.
They didn't put a youthful side out last night though. Mostly first team squad same as us.Yeah, great - Cos that really worked out well for us last night!
I think their 20 man selection was far weaker than ours.They didn't put a youthful side out last night though. Mostly first team squad same as us.
They had no choice but to schedule replays within days of the tie back then as a tie could potentially need multiple replays before it’s conclusion.Agree, I’m not sure why there’s even debate. Its the same every year, approximately 10 days after the original tie and has been for a very long time (although some of us can probably remember the dark ages when it was always 3 or 4 days after).
Thinking about it, I’m sure the only semi final to be played at Highfield Rd was a third replay, Arsenal 1 v 0 Liverpool late 1970s.They had no choice but to schedule replays within days of the tie back then as a tie could potentially need multiple replays before it’s conclusion.
