Us v Liverpool Saturday
Tottenham v Man Utd moved to Sunday for TV
West Ham v Arsenal moved to Sat @12.30 for TV
Palace v Watford Sat 3.00pm low profile game
Portsmouth v Blackpool Sat 3.00pm very low profile game.
So no great Police presence needed anywhere.Saturday.

But won't your Saturday 3pm games be moved for overseas TV Coverage as per the 3rd round, so many of these will be moved to 12.30

Take a look at the games, which one will you want to watch as a fan bought up in China on the PL?
Newcastle (replay dependent) v Watford could go to 12:30
And there has to be something at 3pm to televise overseas.
Can you imagine the Asian market gambling on Doncaster v Oldham?
EDIT
Do BBC 5Live and TalkSport get any say in which games have to be played at 3pm for them to cover?

For Coventry in mid Feb last season it was £18 for adults, £6 for kids. Free travel. Coventry had full allocation and it was nearly full. (27K).
Assuming its Saturday 3pm (might well not be) and with caveat that West Brom might not have as many coming as Cov (doubt they'll sell out) then wouldn't be surprised with a repeat/and a similar approach to pricing/travel/sales.

We can make a loss - will be a drop in the ocean with our prem finances and guarantee a big crowd. I don’t think they will, but it’s just an opinion that would be a good price. Have done it before for this sort of price - few years ago but Villa away in round 4 (I think) was £10 all round.

Correct, as was the case in the 3rd Round when only 5 games had a Sat 3:00 kick off.
International agreement allows them to move more than 1 game as was the case with our game at Bmuff.
The same happened on Sunday.
The cost of this game will have to be creative when the Kick off's are announced.
That's how I understood it to be. Overseas tv games primarily the 12.30 games

I think that you are the one being gormless as the 2 high profile games have been switched to 1230 Saturday and .4 pm Sunday The rest are not games to expect trouble or serious crowd control. Ours certainly wont be nor I doubt Portsmouth v Blackpool or Palace v Watford.

You’ll need a fan number. Easy enough to sign up and get one.

Would be nice to get something back for the thumping they gave us last season.

I completely agree that there is little chance of crowd trouble at those 3pm games.
However there is also little chance of crowd trouble at our game with West Brom, so I fail to see the difference between this weekend and the FA cup weekend.

It's about time that the FA announce any fixture date changes.
They need to *pull their fingers out* and *just get on with it*.
