Ah, yeah, my bad! I imagine they are just putting 35 and 36 together now then. No point in making two separate announcements back to back when it's this close now.

TV selections are yet to happen for MW36 onwards. This should happen this week though. https://www.premierleague.com/news/4039904

An already retired scheme so you won’t find anything about it. The club is essentially just waiting for the few that are on it to “fall off” before it goes entirely.

Genuine speculation here and very much string on a pin board here… but maybe it’s because the SF and Final are both at Wembley, which is owned by the FA, becomes the home ground, and therefore the FA has complete say in what happens just like all the other home grounds in the previous rounds… 🤷🏻‍♂️

Cosbeh is accurate here. Mentioned this previously in the thread but here are the rules and we don’t have a say! https://www.thefa.com/-/media/thefacom-new/files/competitions/2024-25/efac/rules-of-the-fa-challenge-cup-2024-25.ashx Page 38.

Everyone but Jim Radcliffe can agree on that! 👍🏻😅

Sadly I don’t even think we have to agree to it. According the FA’s own rules, we can only challenge it/agree with it if they try to charge away fans more than home fans. Otherwise, whatever the home club wants is fair game. https://www.thefa.com/-/media/thefacom-new/files/competitions/2024-25/efac/rules-of-the-fa-challenge-cup-2024-25.ashx Page 38

The home club. Nope. This is all on the home club and it’s basically what United charge their home fans now.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure it’s mandated by the home club in a “just in case” scenario (Liverpool went close to the wire as an example). Maybe they don’t receive the tickets all in one bulk delivery and they get multiple “drops” from the home club? Plus, every home club would rather it go to home fans, purely from a financial perspective. It pays to make it more difficult, while staying within the allocation rules.

How many left are we saying?

Likelihood for Friday? Based on pure guess work?

Looking for one if this doesn’t go to All STH.
