Yeah, I'm not really into the "everyone hates us" attitude that some fans have but you do wonder if it was potentially the last ever FA Cup match at the likes of Anfield or Old Trafford or even Villa Park whether they'd have done this? One of the oldest historic grounds in football, hosted a World Cup Semi Final and even an early FA Cup final back in the late 1800's, a club steeped in FA Cup history and even if we go through we might not have a home draw again yet they shove it on a Thursday night. It's shite for everyone, especially the Peterborough fans but I think it's also very disrespectful to Everton and Goodison Park.
They’ll spin it that it allows everyone to be able to watch as it doesn’t clash with anyone else.
(I presume we’re the only match that night)

Bizarrely there are three FA Cup games on that Thursday night, including Cardiff fans being asked to travel to Sheffield Utd for a 7pm kick off

Maybe, had a rethink before you posted and went up to 28 but you could be right.

The BBC showing this on iPlayer means that it can be shown at any time they choose.
Why on earth would they choose to fuck over the Peterborough fans by showing it on a Thursday evening.
It's an utter disgrace, and not only devalues the fixture, but the FA Cup and football in general.
The match should be one that has all the elements of a bit of football romance, with Goodison hosting one of it's last FA cup matches, and Peterborough having never played there. Instead, they have made their fans struggle, and it will cost them far far more in time and money that it otherwise should do.
It epitomises everything that is wrong with football and everything that the fans despise.
In terms of the romance of the cup, is there a bigger fairy tale than the potential father vs son?
Peterborough fans should not have been denied the opportunity to visit the Grand Old.Lady before she bows out for good.at the end of this season. The timing of this fixture makes it night on impossible for them.

Got tickets for this and the Villa game, with the blank Saturday in between meaning I can fit in the promotion battle between Sporting Khalsa and Quorn FC.
Genuinely hope the Peterborough fans have a lovely day out and go home after a plucky defeat. In a dream world, the Old Lady's last FA Cup tie would be a QF win under the lights (I would say over the Shite or Villa but I hope they are both out before then).
