Thought you were joking but just checked NRE and nothing on the Saturday at all

is there ET and penalties on this round?

 

We'd have a replay at St Mary's first

Have a suspicion that with increased covid restrictions in Wales away supporters might not be allowed to go. There doesn't appear to be any ticket news yet for a game that is not that far off.

I think you are right on that unfortunately from what Drakeford is saying. Was looking forward to a second trip over the border this season.

Just remember Manolo....if VAR had existed we would have won the League Cup under Claude!

Actually, we might have drawn after 90 minutes.

Jumping to conclusions there. Had that goal been rightfully allowed we don't know what else would have happened afterwards.

Someone mentioned to me today that this game is on BBC?

“FA Cup third and fourth-round replays have been scrapped this season to help with the fixture backlog caused by Covid-19 postponements.”

Oh, that's good news.

Channel 864 on Virgin.

[St Steve]

The Welsh Government Economy Minister Vaughan Gething has announced that from Boxing Day all sporting events will be played behind closed doors to help limit the spread of the Omicron COVID variant

[RedWillie]

No one will be going.  Fans not allowed in Welsh stadiums from Boxing day.

Can that be watched in all regions? They block the BBC regional radio commentary to other regions.

[M271]

BBC Wales can also be viewed in all UK regions on iplayer.

Hope it stays the same for the match.

I've watched other BBC Wales sport events through the Sky channel without a problem in the past.

On the Virgin box I put BBC wales on (864) last night to check and it was broadcasting (basically the same film as normal BBC 1).....I know what you mean about BBC Sounds which will just not broadcast some matches if they don't have the online rights.

But I would think in this case it will be fine. It'll be on.

Yaki da.

Yes saw that this morning, that's annoying it's a ground I wanted to tick off. However I was hedging about going so made the decision for me.

England tends to follow Wales on these things so I wouldn't be surprised if the same happens across the UK. That will be a blow for the club as they have sold out the Spurs game.

End of the day it is just a game of footie, more important to keep this blasted virus under the cosh.

Bet they wouldn't have announced these new stadium restrictions if the 6 nations was on... Also nightclubs and pubs are still open. Idiotic to close stadiums but keep tightly packed indoor venues open

Nightclubs are also closing from Boxing Day in Wales.

So we could still have a day out to Swansea,  watch the game whilst boozing in the pub and travel back, almost more appealing than going to the game 

[HarvSFC]

I wonder if there will be any problems with the hotel the club are staying at, or the team bus getting into the stadium this time. 🤷‍♂️

The new rules in Wales come in on Boxing Day and are due to expire on the 7th January.  As things stand fans will be at the game but who knows what will happen from here.
