According to the BBC website this is our time and date for the 4th round tie. Or are they just speculating to get it on the fixture list?

ah hold on, just had another look and we're also playing Blackburn that day.....

That will be temporary until the TV fixtures are decided.

Does anyone actually know when the TV fixtures are decided?

They normally announce it a couple of days after the draw, so hopefully Wednesday.

Don't they wait for the replays to finish?

That would make more sense.

That would make more sense.

But it wouldn't leave either them or the host clubs much time to get it sorted out. Especially considering there's not much of a gap between rounds 3 and 4. It's a bit of logistical nightmare in general to be fair, but if we do get Arsenal it'll be saturday at the latest due to the Champions League, I wouldn't be suprised if our game was then brought forward to the friday night for the TV.

Arsenal don't have a champions league game until mid February.

I thought 4th round was only Saturday and Sunday games.

I think it will be this Wednesday or Thursday we will know.

Why thank you

To back myself up, having done a NSC search, last year's 5th Round games were decided by ITV on 31 Jan and ESPN on 1 Feb, we beat Newcastle on 28 Jan - So tomorrow and Wednesday then

As long as its not moved to a late saturday afternoon klick off !

No as it doesn't give them enough time to sort out the schedules/ police etc, so they have to gamble and hope the big teams like Utd/Arsenal go through. (as they will want to show these teams).

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Does this mean Blackburn will not be on 26th?

It was never likely to be.
