Derby in the last week of the season?

[Shogun]

Looks like there could only be two midweeks available for two rearranged matches if Liverpool make the SF of the FA Cup and Europa League.

23/24 April
14/15 May

I guess should Liverpool already be in London for the SF on 20th April then they could move Fulham v Liverpool to 23/24 April but surely as the first match postponed, then we would get priority? Although maybe they'll just put ours the last week so that it's set in stone and causes less disruption as the PL won't know until 3 weeks after they beat Southampton whether or not Liverpool will win their QF and make the SF forcing their Fulham match to get moved.

I couldn't be arsed with this lot in midweek and then Arsenal away to end the season.

Staying up really depends on us getting points back doesn’t it

[Gash]

Sorry, it's maybe too early in the morning for me, why would the derby on March 17th be moved? The tickets go on sale on Monday.

Yep, but we may get some back then get docked the same amount for the second offense.

Ah right, bit of a farce that, buy tickets for the game thinking it's a Sunday then it could get moved to midweek a month later.

Good to see you found us. We're slowly getting the old band back together.

Thanks. I suppose there are worse Hells than talking to oneself everyday about the Blues. But maybe not so many,

Should never have been given that date to begin with, can't remember, when was the last Derby re-arranged , Paul Wilkinson (Thursday) .23 rd May 1985

Rambling on , oh Brighton slicing Utd apart here

Was just about to book a train ticket yesterday before they got too expensive, then I read this ! Could have been very costly !

You never know, maybe Southampton beat Liverpool in the cup at Anfield and it doesn't get moved

Not sure that’s a risk I would take

Look on the bright side. We could be the ones to spoil Turkey Teeth's leaving party
