Newcastle (A) Game To Move To The Sunday. Maybe Liverpool Too.

All correct and something we've kept in mind for a while. Not sure if the fact that the League Cup final is on that Sunday afternoon will affect our kick off time or not? Expect not, but never know.

 

At least Newcastle and us aren't still in the League Cup.

Last season the Cardiff v Liverpool Final was played the same day as

 

Sunday 26th February 2012

Arsenal 5-2 Tottenham Hotspur

Norwich City 1-2 Manchester United

Stoke City 2-0 Swansea City

 

Not yet found out the kick off times though.

Cardiff v Liverpool was a 4pm kick off : http://www.football-league.co.uk/capitalonecup/news/20120203/carling-cup-final-ticket-details_2293330_2599041

 

Arsenal v Spurs was 1:30pm : http://www1.skysports.com/football/live/match/253529/report

Norwich v Man U : 1:30pm : http://www1.skysports.com/football/live/match/254222

Stoke v Swansea : 3pm : http://www1.skysports.com/football/live/match/253866

 

So two matches with 1:30pm kick offs (and the North London derby was televised whilst the Norwich match wasn't) but Stoke overlapping with the Carling Cup Final, so it seems that they don't move matches to avoid the Carling Cup final... unless they want to.

Cheers. You stuck to your task well there. I knew the board could count on you when it really mattered.

Let's hope their 2nd leg match is a nice away tie in Russia or similar.

Potential opponents for Newcastle:

 

Viktoria Plzen (CZE), Fenerbahce (TUR), Steaua Bucharest (ROM), Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk (UKR), Genk (BEL), Rubin Kazan (RUS), Lyon (FRA), Lazio (ITA), Metalist Kharkiv (UKR), Hannover (GER), CFR Cluj (ROM), Olympiakos (GRE), Benfica (POR).

 

In terms of a difficult journey, the worst draws would be Dnipro, Rubin Kazan and Metalist Kharkiv. The others are all fairly straightforward.

I think the Europa League semi-finals are played on a different week to the Champions League ones, so they get shifted to the Wednesday, which subsequently means any following league game wouldn't need to be moved.

 

says 2nd May on yoooaaayfa.com, with Champions League Semis on the 1st.

 

Not that Spurs will get that far anyway.

good news that , will be tough for them playing in Ukraine just 3 days before us. hopefully they pick up a few knocks then have a 4 hour flight back , hope it is tight from 1st leg so they play their strongest team. still undecided about making journey up there on a Sunday , unfortunately having sunderland away on a Sunday as well two trips tough to do.

Sunderland away is a Sunday too?

We are due to play them on the 23/02 but they have the 2nd leg of the Europa Cup Rd of 32 on 21/02 so our game will be pushed back to the Sunday.

 

If Liverpool make it through to the last 16 our home game against them on 16/03 will be moved as they 2nd leg is on the 14/03.

What's with the crap links to avertising websites in some of these posts? Is this now a new SWF thing? Aren't you raking in enough money without the need for extra advertising?
