Kick off times for semifinals

Its ITV who are to blame! They had the time picked not to clash with Sky's 4pm kick offs.

From another post....


This is absolutely ridiculous.. It's a 06:00 start for everyone.. It'll be a mad rush to get down there and spoils, spoils, what would be a great day out!

I am really fuming.. 12:30?? You have to allow five hours to get there, frikking unbelievable...

If you want to be involved and see the build up in the ground even earlier... It's just utter crap.. Absolute crap. No one gives a toss about the fans anymore.

5 from me this article sums up the FA, bunch of out of touch arseholes

i seem to be the only one who is happy that chelsea have been facked over



the other semi should clearly be played at OT though.. they are screewing over the scousers

Funny this as I don't seem to to remember Chelsea fans (or any other) being bothered when we had to play away in Saville on a Thursday night, and then again at midday Saturday away to Chelsea in the fa cup a few years back. Giving us 38 hours between two big away games.

I'm looking forward to this!

What a mental decision! Huge piiss up!!!

Going to be a messy one!

It is a mental decision certainly. As far as us scousers are concerned the travelling element is fine as we had those journeys anyway but it feels like a distinct lack of a day out which is much of the issue.

We'd be travelling in, and getting into Wembley pretty much straight away.

After the match one set of fans will be heading straight back again...match day experiences are not just about the match. It's about the whole day.

The other semi between Spurs and Chelsea is potentially troublesome.

The players will have to watch themselves and not do anything stupid that could give rise to anger in the crowd. The ref too!

A day on the lash, right through to 6pm then tearing into the opposition fans with some banter can't have the happiest of endings...

It's a complete balls up

The other semi between Spurs and Chelsea is potentially troublesome.

potentially?

i think its 100% certain that there will be trouble and the police must be hating it

Potentially

The FA and met police have seriously underestimated the hatred between Chelsea and Spurs fans.

I think most Spurs fans hate Arsenal more as a club but hate Chelsea fans more.

Kicking off is almost a certainty with fans drinking all weekend and then potentially 4-5 hours before kick off. Even when we played Villa it was kicking off all over the shop.

Wembley is a poor stadium for fan segregation at the best of times. It will be hilarious
