Wolves fans are convinced it will be Sunday 12pm.

Fucking grim. Don't even think the first train goes into Birmingham until about 9am on Sundays.

Remember going over there for an early kick off on a Sunday the first year we were relegated, January 2002 possibly on my birthday. We were abysmal and lost 2 or 3 nil. I think it was televised by ITV Digital.

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

I was there as well. Bobby Parker was never the same after that game.

He should have took Richards legs, he was just too nice.

 

[play_in_skyblue_stripes]

He was being touted as the new Bobby Moore for his reading of the game but his lack of pace was really exposed in this match.

Bobby and another player I can't remember lived next door to my friend . I remember going round once and they were in friends house.Im sure one if them had a leg in plaster at the time.

I don't expect us to gain revenge on 1973 game but that game was a huge let down. I didn't go but really disappointed. Then again to win any FA cup game in those days was so hard as teams really , really tried as did the fans.

 

[jimmyhillsfanclub]

I thought it was ‘up to’ 15% rather than a minimum?

I think you're right actually.
Up to 15% at discretion of the SAG according to fa website (although the article on question appears to be from 2014)

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Felt like a loss when I was there. But I’ll take your pedantic point.

2bh the best way to phrase it would be “we haven’t won a game where VAR is present”

 

[Malaka]

Remember it well. All the excitement and anticipation on way from cov and especially the walk to the ground…the poor performance…and the silence on the way back. I’m not sure my dad said a word on the journey home.

I cried that day and hated Wolves ever since

 

[Otis]

I cried that day and hated Wolves ever since

Same for many I think and then I had a really horrible supervisor, who was a Wolves fan and had to work with him for eleventy billion years.

Dave, the Poison Dwarf. Grrrr.

He made me dislike them even more.

For anyone who watched the City in the 60's and 70's and dare say, even the early 80's, our rivals were Wolves and Leicester. Hardly a mention of Villa.

 

[coop]

So that's another Saturday 3pm game gone due to Fa cup.

Practicing for next season.

 

[bigfatronssba]

This must be our first away (non replay) QF game since 87?

 

[blunted]

He should have took Richards legs, he was just too nice.

Agreed I was there that day when Parker had a mare. What a disappointment. However, I was in the North Bank when Ray Pointer scored in a 1-0 win and in the opposite end when we kicked off our promotion charge from L1 with a 3-1 win. That was a brilliant game. They were our biggest rivals then.

It was Sillett who stoked up that fire and created a faux rivalry due to the fact we hadn’t beaten them in so long. Fair play to him for breaking the hoodoo.

I signed up to have the fixtures imported to my calendar, and it automatically changes when the fixtures change. The Hull fixture disappeared and has since been replaced by the QF, 3:00pm Saturday.

 

[Cov kid 55]

Thanks for this, a great memory. Might seem strange, but that day in 1967 at least matches the FA Cup win twenty years later. Something to do with being a young boy in mid 60’s Coventry, having immense pride in where I lived, and in my football team.

All of them will change is assume for tv

I think villa had been relegated, seem to remember them coming back to the 1st in the mid seventies then it was a hate at first sight kinda relationship

They picked them a week or so ago. Leicester v Southampton was listed for Friday 8pm. Perhaps they will select a different fixture now so could still be Baggies.

Don’t be daft, they are not going to change the Leicester v Southampton game when it’s only recently been announced for Sky on the Friday night.
And it’s equally unlikely the EFL will move the WBA or Birmingham games to accommodate an FA cup game. Our game will fit around those, probably on the Sunday lunchtime as has already been said.

Well that’s guaranteed to be wrong, it sure as hell isn’t going to be 3pm!

 

[JohnWH]

Proper short shorts & big hair. The way football should be. Thank you for sharing.

Fun Fact - The first ever piece of business I got paid for when I set my business up in Jul 2020, was for Gary O'Neil. When have a mutual friend and when was U23s coach at Liverpool, I sorted accommodation out for him for a few days a week as he was travelling up from where he lived.

 

[wingy]

Useless bit of information too.
First professional contract I undertook as a self employed break out in the early 70's was the lunn poly shop in Nuneaton!

SB.

Leicester are in the FA Cup QF so won't be playing Southampton on the Friday night anymore hence something else will surely be picked by Sky instead.

Wolves were already listed to play at home v Bournemouth at 3pm Saturday 16th so WBA/Bham games wont be getting moved unless one is picked by Sky to replace the friday game.

 

[Skybluecol]

Correct it is "up to 15%" or no more than 9000.

We should get the whole of the lower Steve Bull Stand (2750) and a upper section of the Stan Cullis Stand (1500) = 4250

Spot on

 

[Alex1987]

Expecting a date/time today surely?

 

[edgy]

Expecting a date/time today surely?

I think it needs to be sorted within 4 days of the draw.

 

[edgy]

Yes, it's going to be announced at 2pm.

Will we be happy about it?

Apologies, my mistake. I suspect at this notice then there won’t be a Sky game on the Friday night.

 

[play_in_skyblue_stripes]

Outside Wolves ground right now.
Club person said its a Saturday.
Supposed to be 12:15 kick off

 

[ccfcricoh]

Sat 12.15 confirmed

 

[Skybluecol]

What a shit time

 

[edgy]

The best out of the lot for me.

 

[Tommo1993]

It’s okay I suppose, rather that than Sunday or Friday.
