How is City vs Man Utd a high risk fixture??

According to the Mail article, all fixtures involving Man Utd (or Liverpool) are considered high risk.

Saturday was going to be a logisitcal nightmare.

 

[cov_george]

They just don't want us to eve play on a Saturday

People moaning about the Sunday….just imagine getting to the back arse of Azerbaijan on a Thursday night to play Fc Carrier Bag or whatever they’re called. Mental.

why in the name of fuck would you do that?

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

Oh well that answers the question of whether I needed to try for a ticket in the open sale. Could have gone on the Saturday but not the Sunday. Shit

 

[Evo1883]

Talk sport also confirmed its Sunday with a 3.30pm kickoff.

I've just booked my parking , can't wait any longer as they will all go , got parked for £19.50 by the Nike outlet at Wembley Park

 

[Frank Sidebottom]

When we win the FA Cup we'll be in the Europa League.... It's gonna be a nightmare.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Both my dad and brother who are on less than 100 points have messaged today saying they can definitely go if it's Sunday and have checked that our accounts are linked.

I'm wondering when to have "the chat" with them that I will buy just myself a ticket if general sale looks like too much of a risk.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Better make Hull play on Sunday as well then or move that midweek game to Wednesday/Thursday

 

[sw88]

Announced at 5pm?

Gone are the days when everything was announced on a Thursday

Sunday is shit. Feels like they’re favouring Man C v Chelsea for the Saturday fixture, and just a load of excuses coming out to justify the choice.

Ah well, we’re there no matter what day we kick off.

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

When we win the FA Cup we'll be in the Europa League.... It's gonna be a nightmare.

no we won’t

 

[ptr]

why in the name of fuck would you do that?

For our European campaign next year of course.

get with it mate

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

no we won’t

yes we will!

 

[ptr]

Anyone know the date of the Community Shield? Want to plan ahead.

 

[skybluecam]

Hull better be moved then? That's a must win (certainly a must not lose) if we want playoffs. Hardly fair us having to play our two biggest games of the season 48 hours apart.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Liverpool away at Fulham on the same Sunday as as the semi final potentially as they play on Europe the Thursday before, I'm sure this has been thought through though has it

Oh it's obviously making more!sense when UTD are in town

 

[Liquid Gold]

Sunday! Get in! I won’t miss the game on a flight. Now just need to find a Bar in Split that will be showing the game.

Harats Irish Bar in Split will have it on. Not been there for a while but they always have multiple screens on and the guy will change for you if it isn't on one.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Looks like il be watching in Albufeira then

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Talk sport also confirmed its Sunday with a 3.30pm kickoff.

Presume hull will be put back to Wednesday

There’s next to chance of it reaching under 100 points this time.

 

[Covkid1968#]

Il throw the mother of all bitch fits if we are the Sunday

Sorry mate - appears that Utd letter was a Red Herring...feel really bad now!! Can you def not make the Sunday??

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Let your source go instead and take his seat on the bench

 

[lord_garrincha]

Would have been nice to be a Saturday... but oh well... same day as when we played Leeds!

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Complete nonsense that doesn’t really suit anyone as to be expected from the FA and the Met.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

The marathon does create chaos to be fair, Ive been there ….however, not sure it would affect a match in Wembley?

The FA couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery, why pick to have the semi final on the same weekend as the marathon.

 

[Bugsy]

Would have been nice to be a Saturday... but oh well... same day as when we played Leeds!

also that was on 12th April 1987

we play Man Utd 21st April.

I’ve running the London Marathon on Sunday morning, so selfishly I wanted the Sunday so I didn’t have to (try and likely fail to) resist drinking all day Saturday.

However 3:30 kick off makes it extremely tight, so I’ll probably miss KO, be in my sweaty running gear and likely feeling horrendous!

Get a taxi for the last few miles and just jump.out a couple of hundred yards from the finish line

Nah I'd just run down greenwich park, under the foot tunnel and join the route on the Isle of Dogs.

Saves you about half.

 

[AJB1983]

If we can’t move the hull game then it’s massively unfair.
No premier league games for a week either side of the semi’s.
Only Man City playing in Europe midweek on the Wednesday and that’s at home. So if anything it’s better if they have the Sunday just so we get an extra day ahead of hull.
No way they can play 2 games in 3 days. Don’t even do that at Christmas.

Nothing like a bit of motivation to run faster and through the pain barrier....

Good luck and hope you make the game

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

They really won't have a clue what to do if we actually beat Man Utd and make the PO final

 

[Brylowes]

Play Off final will be on Sunday June 2nd, if were in the FA Cup final.
Sure I’ve seen that somewhere.
