6pm kick-off for the semi-final

[ohwhenthespurs]

Really bloody helpful if you don't live in London and need to rely on public transport - particularly as I'll have to factor potential extra-time and penalties into any bus or train I book. Will have to book a 10pm train home or something, and get back about midnight. Why six-o-clock?! TV?

To piss off the self styled big club that is Chelsea!

Semi final KO time 6pm??

I cant believe we are kicking off at 6pm.
Two rivals on the beer all day..taking forever to get home.

Also surely this helps Chavs argument to have the game Friday night surprised the police are allowing it.

It's a London derby. In London. The real bitch was playing Arsenal in Manchester early afternoon and still getting home after midnight. And losing.

Where does it say this, me old fruit?

Mental decision. The FA/police wouldn't even consider Friday night (presumably worried about boozing?) but they sign off a 6pm kick off which allows everyone to get on it for 2 days before pitching up.

Helps us and pisses the plastics off with their likely semi 2nd leg a few days later....

crazy decision

 

[ryantegan]

must be a 4 oclock premier league game the same day

 

[andyp8080]

completely thoughtless decision

ignores Chelsea's game on tuesday (not that i care)

allows drinking for hours before hand

and hardly ideal for people coming from afar especially with kids etc

its just nuts

 

[theShiznit]

so at night on a friday you don't think that most fans would be on the beer all day and further into the night then?

 

[bubble07]

the scum are playing a televised home game that day at 12:45 i believe

 

[andyp8080]

vast majortiy would have to work friday and maybe knock off a little early

 

[Monkey boy]

Can't believe there are people (spurs fans) upset by this decision. It can only benefit us and is a massive fcuk you to chelscum.

If you don't want your ticket then give me a shout

Seeing as the Liverpool v Everton game is a 12:30pm kick off on the Saturday, I suspect this has been decided to give the groundstaff time to repair the playing surface :shrug:

Seeing as we moaned so much about the pitch after Pompey beat us, I suppose we can't compain too much that they have factored that into the decision. Probably works more in our favour than Chelsea's too as they play again on the Wednesday

think they're playing Monday night?

 

[theShiznit]

vast majority of those inclined to be on the beer will be finished midday the latest.
