Shroppie Posted 18 January, 2016 Share Posted 18 January, 2016 I know it's a few weeks away, but a query for the experts. We're due to have a Monday 8pm ko for Sky but if West Ham draw in the cup, they would normally have a replay Tuesday or Wednesday thst week. What would take precedence? Could our game be moved to Saturday/Sunday? Or would the replay be delayed? Need to know before booking trains.

Saint Garrett Posted 18 January, 2016 Share Posted 18 January, 2016 I believe it gets moved to Saturday lunchtime if West Ham and Liverpool draw in the next round. (or Exeter) Might be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear you are. It would be at 5.30 on Sat 6th. BT have Man City v Leicester at lunchtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lickierambert Posted 18 January, 2016 Share Posted 18 January, 2016 I think it gets moved to Sunday lunchtime. There was a slot there for Swansea v Watford yesterday if either of them drew their 3rd round games and needed to play this midweek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRM Posted 21 January, 2016 Share Posted 21 January, 2016 So we now know it is Liverpool v West Ham in the 4th round of the cup, good chance of it ending in a draw and I for one hope it does. Saturday 5.30pm game much better than a Monday night. The fact sky have built in a plan B of a Saturday game shows what a joke this is, why not just schedule it for the Saturday now and remove all element of doubt. That would no doubt help ticket and hospitality sales rather than have to make re-arrangements at short notice. I can't see West Ham bringing the full allocation on a Monday.

I agree this situation really is unacceptable and a stand needs to be taken against Sky. For those, like me, hoping to travel by train, it makes buying an advanced ticket impossible as the need for a replay will only be determined 6 or 7 days before our game. It also worries me that Saints haven't issued any warnings that the date could be changed. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't show that it's a joke, it shows that they're good at planning.

Apart from the one on the page you go to for ticket information for this match you mean? http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/tickets-southampton-vs-west-ham-united-08022016-2871446.aspx Please note that, should either Southampton or West Ham require a replay in the fourth round of the Emirates FA Cup, the date of this fixture will revert to Saturday 6th February, with a kick-off time of 5.30pm.

itchen Posted 21 January, 2016 Share Posted 21 January, 2016 So, having moved my shifts once to take account of the move to Monday, I may have to move them again (which won't be possible) if the game moves back to its original day.

A normal 3.00 pm ko would have presented a problem. At least a 5.30 means he will make the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What it clearly shows is that they are only concerned with their schedules and profits ! They don't give a sh!t about the supporters who go to matches !

Clearly they have a reason for not wanting it on a Saturday evening unless they have to do so. I should think it has something to do with advertising rates for MNF compared to SNF. Also, if they shift our game to Saturday they run the risk of not having a midweek game at all, which is inefficient. Having Plan B and publicising it is clearly "planning".
