FA Cup replay. West Ham v Man Utd 13.04.16 [confirmed] - sold out

DJ Hammer

Can anyone confirm when the replay date is, now that Man U are out of Europe. I read somewhere that it's next Tuesday 22nd. March.

DJ - I doubt it, we've got the international break next week, all the players called up will have gone to join their national squads. It'll have to be sometime in April, probably Wednesday 6th or Wednesday 13th as Man U play on Sunday the first two weekends and both teams have a midweek fixture in the week before the semis.

April 6th i think. Would have been April 13th if they had gone through.

SuzanneClaret

Yeold is right, it should be April 6th.

DJ Hammer

;ok cheers

Bozo

Confirmed as April 6th.....7pm ko - no ticket news tho' !

MJ_IRONS

I would have said that this would be a nice earner for the club, considering its the start of the new fiscal year, but Sully has reduced ticket prices, think the most expensive will be £30.

7pm ko seems early, nothing on the FA's site either.

IronHerb

7pm is a EUFA requirement if we want our game on TV due to Champo and Europa matches. Same as Arsenal v Hull

SuzanneClaret

There has been no official word from the club about the date or ticket sales, all info has come via people not associated with the club via social media.

DG said date not yet 100% confirmed.

SuzanneClaret

Apparently STHolders can phone up now and but tickets.

SuzanneClaret

On hold with the ticket office now as for some reason this game is not on the web site.

Currently some lad is trying to flog me corporate seats.

Bozo

How odd, when I posted late last night, the confirmation was on www.whufc.com - put there at 10.32pm - link now says "page not found"...??!!

I've found a link to the tickets at the bottom of a page about something else.

But once I've clicked on it the page crashes.

ASLEFshrugged

Bozo - I saw it too, you weren't hallucinating. It had better be on 6 April, I sent a text to the bloke who sorts out our shifts to give me an early finish!

SuzanneClaret

Same for sir_ian, he's organised to swap shifts.

SuzanneClaret

Tickets purchased ;wahoo

MrsGrey

Bozo/Aslef - glad it wasn't just me. I've been racking my brains trying to think where I must have seen it, since it 'couldn't have been' on OS. ;doh

They've got the announcement up again now, anyway

Just got my ticket after watching the Chelsea game. At 30 quid this one is going to be great value. Can't wait.

SuzanneClaret

;thumbsup

ASLEFshrugged

Still no actual date.

I'm praying it isn't a 7pm kick off on the 6th, unless I'm on earlies that week I'll miss the first half as the earliest late shift doesn't finish until 7:42pm and I can't get the day off as I'm flying to Washington DC Friday morning (Smashing Pumpkins).

Of course if its a week later I'm fine, I get back to London 8am on Tuesday and I've got the week off so with jetlag it will be a 2pm kick off for me.

ASLEF

Date is 6th April at 7pm. I have bought my ticket.

SuzanneClaret

Me too...

ASLEFshrugged

Drat. Maybe I can get a "spare" shift, hope that no one goes off sick, watch the first half in the mess room then race to the pub during half time.

SuzanneClaret

Please note that the date for this fixture is yet to be confirmed.

Is my match thread streak getting hijacked again?

jay_in_cpt

Perhaps this should just be the date confusion thread rather than match thread ;hmm

SuzanneClaret

It doesn't say match thread does it.

Hammerex

Article in the sun today says the FA face being fined by Uefa as our replay against Man Utd is scheduled on April 6th which clashes with the champions league quarter finals. How on earth does our replay affect champion league matches.

AfaIk it's a UEFA rule that no senior matches are played on the same days as UEFA competition games, without special dispensation.
