Club ticket announcement always just said Please note that the date for this fixture is yet to be confirmed. with no date given, provisional or otherwise.
There was an article, sure, and most people worked out the options for dates, but I don't think any where officially endorsed (even provisionally?) by the club. I noticed it because I thought how odd it was to sell tickets to a event that didn't have a date.
The club put up an article a few days ago stating categorically that the replay date had been confirmed as the 6th of April.
After a few hours of that being accessible to the public (maybe a day), they removed the article without any note to say it had been perhaps posted prematurely. So anybody who viewed it and then felt no need to re-view it would be surprised to see a new date (I think ASLEF on here arranged shifts to suit a 7pm KO on the 6th).
Exactly what Luke said - saw the same on the official site late one night confirming April 6th - then it disappeared without a word !! Strange but true...but 13th it is then - can't wait, just gotta get lucky buying a tkt on Saturday morning now !

Not until today.

Now the club have posted a proper confirmed date.
I'd missed that ;doh
Didn't think the club had confirmed the date until today but I don't take much notice as it doesn't matter to me when a game is as I can always go.
The game will be broadcast live on BBC One and BBC Radio 5 live.

My elder son is unhappy - he is in America on the 13th but could have made the 6th - my younger son is very happy as he will now attend!
