2014-15: Fixture Changes Thread

[SamD]

BT Sport have chosen to broadcast the FA Cup quarter-final replay between Blackburn Rovers and Liverpool.
This leaves the BBC with Reading v Bradford.

Reading - Bradford C: 19:45, Mon 16 March
Blackburn - Liverpool: 19:45, Wed 8 April

[Judio]

So this proves that BT and BBC DID alternate each round with the first pick of the replay

Obviously with the lack of any in the 5th Round we could not prove anything !!!

This leaves the BBC with Reading v Bradford.

The Bradford chairman will not be dancing tonight as they did not choose them they HAD to show them finally !!!!

Have the FA cup semi dates been decided yet? I need to book the Villa game off work!

[Judio]

No the BBC have to try and pick the 1st choice match and time before knowing if Liverpool are in it !!!

[TheTon]

Really??? That'll be too late for me to book off by then! What are the KO times? I'll just book them both off...

[TheTon]

So have the kick off times been decided for the semi's? Or nothing at all..?

[Judio]

Nothing has been announced

I think they will wait until after Reading replay

And also maybe another day to see if Arsenal lose in Europe ??

The Sky/BT announcement for TVed games must be soon? Wondering if there's a minimum period of time for clubs to notified of chnges?

[snout]

It was 4th April last year when they announced games for 3rd May onwards.

If, as now looks likely, like they are waiting for the Easter games to be played, we won't see an announcement until 7th April (or later) for games starting 2nd May.

So much for the aim of giving 6 weeks notice, or giving a fig about supporters who actually attend games and need to arrange travel, leave, etc. in advance.

[Judio]

It is worse this year

It appears they are waiting for the Cup Replay on the 8th !!!!

Hull v Liverpool league game could be shown on Sky depending on the result

that bit in red will be very interesting to TFF managers - a single transfer 4 for 1 may be possible..... (shame about the Citeh and Chelsea timings....)

[Mystery]

Do we have any indications as to the effect of Liverpool reaching the Cup semis? My best guess is Arsenal-Hull to revert to May 2, freeing up May 5 for Hull-Liverpool. Any thoughts?

[Judio]

UEFA forbid any matches to clash with their competitions

Only free weeks are
Wed Apr 29
Wed May 20

Not on TV unless SKY decide to only show 2 on last day

Hull v Liverpool now Tues Apr 28

Same double game week as Chelsea

Match not on Sky
