If it IS Marathon and southern based fans traipsing across the capital then play it at 1945 kick-off.

On a Sunday? No thanks!

I’m alright Jack I don’t give a shit what time the game is, booked a hotel a few mins walk away from the stadium to remove the shambles we had getting to where we wanted to after the last semi final :wink:

Now watch them say it’s on 22 April!

Does make you wonder what would happen if two teams on opposing sides of the draw were playing in the Europa League Quarters

Any Brighton fan worth their salt will know that fixture date hasn't yet been confirmed. You shouldn't need it in black or white on the website. As soon as it is confirmed the club will be sending out emails left right and centre as well as twitter etc etc.

Saw a few threads on FB where some fans (lacking in salt) have taken the default Saturday 3pm holding date as gospel and booked hotels and parking!

Once told it’s a TBC their counter argument is to show a screenshot from sky sports showing, yep you’ve guessed it, the same default date, from the same source!

Please tell me it shows both games being played at that time, that’d be interesting!

Yes it does show both at the same time , the working theory is one of the games must be being played at Wembley arena or maybe the 02 could host?

Well I suppose the good old fashioned neutral ground semu final scenario would probably have seen us having to trundle up to Villa Park

Why ? Marathon starts in the South East around 9am, finishes in the Mall (between 11, with numbers peaking around 1-2pm, and about 5pm) and goes nowhere near Wembley at all. Just avoid tube stations around the finish area (Embankment, Charing Cross etc which will be chaos) and it’ll be fine. Brighton line - Thameslink to London Bridge - Jubilee line to Wembley.

Please stop being so blasé about this chaos, despite the fact that there’s been various examples of both events happening on the same day in the past which went without issue

Are we not in unresolved dispute with the FA & MUFC about ticket allocations for each club?

What’s it got to do with MUFC ?

kennyb · Mar 25, 2023

Everyone is in for long wait!

My sources tell me tickets wont be on sale to Thursday at the earliest.

They are being offered a greater share of the available capacity, and we want some of it back, which means them getting less, and they think they’re entitled to more than us, and it is possibly unresolved.

Save the binfest for the final.

What’s the source for this ?

I thought it was obligatory to give them the stand below us in addition to their end?

On the Monday night, even those in fancy dress deep diving suits should have finished by then.
