FA CUP SEMI FINAL KICK OFF CONFIRMED

Merseyzig · March 30, 2012

This is utter nonsense. It should be 5.30 like when the Mancs played last year.

Perhaps both sets of fans could do a '**** the FA' show of cards?

Going to be just as much murder anyway. The roads will be more hazardous going there and back thanks to tiredness, plus alot of fans will remain in london abit later anyway to watch the national, and also get wasted.

Yep. We're leaving at 4am and staying in London till 6pm, so we'll actually be there LONGER than if the match was at 5pm and we'd left straight after.

This is from Kipper, the website not the forum, agree with every word...

We brought you a world exclusive when we told you the kick off for the derby semi final would be 12.30pm.Now we tell you our opinion of that decision.
Even by the standards of the Football Association this is the biggest betrayal of fans in recent years.
It is bad enough we have to travel to London for a game that should have been played at Old Trafford with no loss of revenue. Local fans of both sides could have gone to the match and been home within a few hours. Now we have to be up in the very early hours to get to a **** hole city nobody likes, and then face another six hours journey home. It's the biggest load of bollocks since Lindford Christie ran a sprint.
The guilty parties are the pin stripe suited, cigar-chomping, smug faced ****s at the Football Association, ESPN TV channel, Metropolitan London Police and any of the other bastards who went along with it. They couldn't have got it more wrong.
It's time for the FA to TELL the TV people what the kick off times will be. If they don't cough up the money then go to someone like Al Jazeera. Most of the TV revenues come from abroad anyway. The FA should be considering the fans of clubs first and fix the venue and time to suit their wishes.
If the Police think this will stop potential trouble they couldn't be more wrong. Anyone likely to cause problems (for whatever reason) will try do it whatever the time of day.
All this decision will do is cause more expense and inconvenience for both sets of fans.
What a carve up by a gang of know nothing money greedy gimps.
Isn't it time to **** London right off for semi finals?
