Newcastle at home likely to be moved back to later in the season?

[Giraffe]

Just looking through the fixtures and I note that Newcastle at home is scheduled for January 28th, which is FA Cup fourth round date. Assuming that one of us progresses then it will be moved.

I wonder if Sky will then get involved with that one. Any guesses when that might then be.

Tuesday night 15th March looks to be the first available date

Beware the Ides of March

Or, if Solly plays a blinder, there's a newspaper headline there just waiting to be written

Despite this being the third thread on the subject, I'm still unclear as to whether the game can be moved if both teams are knocked out of the cup. I know that Sky can do it when a game has been rearranged at short notice and, I think, if both teams agree. But the former doesn't apply in this case and, as for the latter, Newcastle may fancy a game against a promotion rival if, say, they'd be involved in a 3rd round replay a week before
EDIT
Sorry, meant to say if we'd been involved in a 3rd round replay

I hope it is played on the correct date as most of their 1st team will be away on African Nations Cup.

I will bet you a nice flexible fat-filled £5 note BG that the game will NOT be played on the scheduled date of 28th Jan.

Monday's FA Cup draw will give an indication of whether Albion or Newcastle are likely or unlikely to reach round 4 and postpone the game.

...and even if they both lost Sky will cream their pants over it.

I'm not so sure: the cup is not going to be our priority nor Newcastle's: I don't think it's that unlikely that both of us gets knocked out in the 3rd round

Arsenal v BHA
Chelsea v Newcastle.

...and Sky wouldn't want it?

But, as I said above, they can only move with the permission of both clubs. BG is right, if the Newcastle players are at ACON and if Shelvey is suspended, we would be gagging to play the match on the right date

Do we care what Sky want we just need the 3 points.

The bet still stands.

Are we on for a Lady Godiva BG?

As an away Albion fixture that is very tempting. Easy enough to get tickets due to the size of allocation, and rather attractive to me before leaving. Been to Highbury on a few occasions but yet to darken the door to the Emirates, two birds with one stone for me.

 

[BensGrandad]

I never bet least of all on anything BHA.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

So we're at both Newcastle and BHA get impossible away draws, lose then tell Sky to do one. In the words of The Undertones....
