FA Cup : The road to victory

[Coys1955]

Is the Portsmouth game likely to stay as a 3pm on Sat 7th Jan?

Good question. It would just be nice if they gave us plenty of notice though (i.e. before the tickets go on sale), especially if there are going to be family ticket packages.

How many do BBC & ITV show anyway? They had four for the second round and gave 17 days notice if that's anything to go by (it probably isn't), but last year they showed six for the third round.

There are plenty of other more attractive ties for TV though including some big all prem ties and non-league v league clashes so I'd be surprised if ours was picked. But then what do I know...

Believe their might be train strikes on 7th January so wonder whether Spurs will attempt to play on 8th to try and maximise attendance.

 

[White Van Jan]

Think I saw earlier on that it was 12.30pm Sat 7th, but I'm looking on the Spurs site and can't see anything.

Not on TV it said too.

Why would it be 1230 Saturday if it’s not on TV? Personally hoping for a Saturday 3pm as I want it to go on general sale to take my boys as I did for the morecambe game last year

That's what I was thinking too. Like I said, I can't find anything on the official site.

That would be nice but I doubt they care about fans enough to do that.

 

[White Van Jan]

BBC website saying we're 3pm Sat? Maybe I dreamt the 12.30. I don't think I was pissed yesterday

There has been rumours this is the time, it’s just awaiting police confirmation.

Neither can i?? Would have thought the tickets/dates/time would be confirmed by now

Nice to think that they think of the travelling supporters when confirming times and dates...........oh wait, they don't!
All this faffing about and late changes will be the main factor deciding whether I renew my season ticket; it's disgraceful that supporters attending games are last on the list to be considered.

Add in it is train strikes that weekend on the Saturday and it really is going to mess up people’s decision making. Pompey fans must be even more annoyed than us.

Lol 12:30. They really like pissing us off don’t they?

Just seen that - no justification for that time, whatsoever!

 

[Hampshire Spur]

Have a feeling its lunchtime ko as pompey fans can be raucous. They will bring s lot of fans as well as it's a big day out in the smoke for them.

 

[Legacy Lilywhite]

Oh well. Was going to take the kids but that’s gone to fuck with that KO time.

Yeah would say this is a police requested kick off time.

Think they get allocation of about 10k?

 

[spursmalc]

Are they saying because of train strikes we will put it on at 12.30 to stop some travelling or to make it easier for them to get home? Not sure but it is strange unless down to Policing although Portsmouth are not as high a risk as Spammers.
