Guest Posted 19 February 2015 Posted 19 February 2015 Been weeks now. They should surely have provisionally arranged for 7th March in event of us getting knocked out v Villa. Too late for that date now with Police etc?
st albans fox Posted 19 February 2015 Posted 19 February 2015 Spurs have done that with their fixture ( v qpr) I wonder if we are waiting till late in the season in the hope that they will have nothing riding on the fixture and may not be that bothered

billyn88 Posted 19 February 2015 Posted 19 February 2015 With Chelsea likely to have a very congested fixture list later in the season, I wouldn't think they would be the cause of any blockage. Can only imagine it's police or possibly confirming a kick off time with Sky if they still want to show it.

red5 Posted 19 February 2015 Posted 19 February 2015 It's bound to be down to us, nobody can fook things up better than us.
cc_star Posted 19 February 2015 Posted 19 February 2015 Chelsea just want assurances there's not going to be any black people on public transport
David Hankey Posted 19 February 2015 Posted 19 February 2015 Can't they just give us a point each? Agree
Fox92 Posted 19 February 2015 Posted 19 February 2015 I don't know how close it has to be for the Police to confirm it etc. Weekend 6th/7th looks to close now but it'd be better than a midweek game, for all parties, surely?
Rossapotamous Posted 19 February 2015 Posted 19 February 2015 It's because it is a TV game, Sky can't show it if 7th/8th March due to FA cup. Looks very highly likely will be 7th or 8th April which is next free midweek with no champs league or FA cup replay or Internationals. I also asked Jim at the club if it could be 7th March and he stated similar regarding TV rather than Police issue

With Chelsea playing on the Wednesday rather than the Tuesday the following week the Sunday early kick off slot is completely free as united arsenal is on the Monday night.

Never knew they did that.
sylofox Posted 19 February 2015 Posted 19 February 2015 I bet it has been on the Chelsea OS for 2 weeks now lol

I also asked Jim at the club if it could be 7th March and he stated similar regarding TV rather than Police issue Well that's not right. Sky have shown FL matches on the same day as the FA Cup final so there's no protection for the competition from other games. The main issue it seems is that Chelsea have a UCL game in the midweek and there might be negotiations on when to play the match over that weekend. I doubt Jose would want 4pm on Sunday even if it is a Wednesday. 12:45pm, competing with Bradford-Reading, or the original 5:30pm slot could be doable. I guess it's down to Sky to decide if they want to show the match over that weekend and compete with the FA Cup matches and for Chelsea to agree whether they want to do it that weekend. Either way it'd be nice to actually know. If it was the 7 March then that's only two weeks away.
