Games Moved for TV

Seems a bizarre angle to take on it, but anyway...

IF we get past Spurs, and IF we are then drawn away in R5 then we will have four consecutive home games followed by four consecutive away.

Spurs (FAC)  H
Ipswich        H
Liverpool      H
Chelsea        H
Palace          A
FAC5 ?         A ?
CL16            A
Brentford      A

That’s great insight!
A great stat! Love these sorts of facts .

Will be definitely be away for the first CL16 leg? I can see the point if we are to give us 2nd leg home advantage over a qualifier

[Martyn Smith]

If that happens we will have 3 home games on the trot in the space of 7 days. Has that ever happened before?

It will also mean we only play one league game in March.

And if we get knocked out of the FA Cup tonight we will only play one of the five weekends in March at all. Which given how congested seasons can get is bonkers IMV. Still, as you say, lots of rest time, maybe opportunity for a bit of WWT here and there

[cdbearsfan]

Yes definitely away first leg.

When do we think that the Easter match against Newcastle date and time will be confirmed??

[cdbearsfan]

Supposedly some time before the end of this month.

Great i love saturday evening games. Bettee atmosphere.  Also days will be longer by then

[cdbearsfan]

Can live with those. Man City will move again if we make the Champions League semis, or if either of us make the FA Cup semis.

I don’t get why there is a possibility of moving the Forest game to Sunday.
