Millwall’s fine away - don’t let the press etc make you worry...

Indeed, the easiest and safest of away days unless you are looking for trouble. We'll be held back and escorted to Sth. Bermondsey station once the surrounding area has been cleared (which I suspect will be quite a while for this match) London Bridge will be interesting however. I'm going for a relatively alcohol-free Saturday lunchtime kick-off.

BBC said games to be played between 15th March & 18th March. (Frid-Mon)

BBC got it wrong.

Players are released for internationals on the Monday, so there will not be a game on the Monday.

Friday 15th March is Comic Relief, so unlikely BBC will have a game that night, but BT might.

England vs Scotland in 6 Nations at 5pm on the Saturday and Sky have Premier League Fixtures on TV on the Sunday (14:15 and 16:30). So there's unlikely to clash with those ties.

I would guess there will be a Saturday 7.45pm game, like last year, and a Sunday lunch time game. Perhaps 1 Friday game and 1 Sat am game?

Very glad to hear the Monday is ruled out. Nice.

Getting there from London Bridge isn't necessarily safe, but once at Bermondsey, going through the cage to the ground is fine, if not a bit throwback to the days of hooliganism. Then probably held back for 30 mins after the game to allow the Millwall neanderthals to disperse, and they'll always be at London Bridge to greet you off the trains.

Pretty sure there will be two games Saturday and Sunday, similar to most years.

Blimey, Millwall Online is full of top quality homophoebic hilarity. They're so desperate to get their funny quips online, they are just repeating themselves one after the other. Whoever mentioned they share one brain cell may well be overstaing it a bit. Can't even spell Skalak:lolol:

What is London Bridge XD? And believe me, a massive contingent of BHA fans will go via London Bridge.

It would mean a Sunday night though in all likelihood. Not sure that’s been done before?

Pretty much this.

Just copied this from the FA site.

Quarter Final Weekend of Saturday 16 March 2019


Weekend doesn't include Friday or Monday in my book.

Fulham vs Liverpool at 14:15 and Everton vs Chelsea at 16:30 on Sky on the Sunday.

They could go head to head with Sky, but my guess would be there's a 12:15 kick off Sunday.

Saturday, will probably have a 12:15 too and I would guess a 7.45.

I suppose the final fixture would have to be Friday night or Sunday evening (or clash with a Premier League game).

Perhaps?

Friday 19:45 - BT - Watford vs Palace
Sat 12:15 - BBC - Millwall vs Albion
Sat 19:45 - BBC - Wolves vs Man Utd
Sun 12:15 - BT - Swansea vs Man City

Sky already scheduled to be showing Fulham v Liverpool at 1415 and Everton v Chelsea at 1630 both on the 17th March in the Premier League.

Assume that FA Cup TV picks from BT and BBC won't clash with those games.

Everyone is forgetting that Watford, Palace, Millwall and Brighton are on the same side of the draw.
