Presumably, the rest will be played on Saturday afternoon, 15 February.
But ticket prices certainly haven’t been released yet.
Coach travel available here
FA Cup Winners 2013, sounds good that
Congratulation ITV and BT Sport for having another 5 attempts to get the FA Cup holders on the box and failing.
Brighton v Fckin Hull ?
Sunderland v Southampton?
Everton v Swansea?Suppose we’ll just have to wait until the quarters for another chance.
All down to advertising revenue Tez. TV companies couldn’t give a toss who won the cup last year – they are only interested in how many people will watch their next production. Every one of those ties above has more lure to the armchair fan than “bottom of the premier league at home to mid-table championship side”.
As you say though – there’s always the quarters, and I think all the games are televised from that point on!
Southampton at Sunderland with a 12.45 kick off!!
Hull at Brighton due to finish approx 10 o’clock on a school night!!
Is it the TV companies intention that fans don’t actually go to games anymore and we all watch them on the bleedin box.
They don’t give any thought at all to the fans. They don’t care if they can get to matches or get home;
FA Cup semi-final tie Millwall v Wigan Athletic at Wembley Stadium
Saturday April 13 2013 17.15FA Cup final tie Man City v Wigan at Wembley Stadium
Saturday May 11 2013 17.15The date for Wigan Athletic’s fifth round trip to Cardiff City is confirmed.
Wigan Athletic will travel to the Cardiff City Stadium in the FA Cup with Budweiser fifth round to face Cardiff City on Saturday 15 February.
Kick off for the fifth round tie will be 3.00pm, ticket details for the game to follow.
Even worse than the Cup Final being at 5.30, its been decided to keep that as its what the fans wanted according to the ex-Brentford chairman Greg Dyke….expected better than that from a football person.
Obviously been caught up in the “money is everything” culture….every real football fan in the land loves the tradition of the FA Cup Final being last game of the season (playoffs/internationals apart) and being at 3.00 pm.

Saturday May 11 2013 17.15And then our usual critics in the press wondered why we sold fewer tickets than Millwall (I chose not to use the word supporter in their case ;) )
Agreed. The FA Cup Final should be 3.00pm. We got home from the final at 1.45am…stuck on M6 near Coventry for 1.5 hrs. Quite funny really… windows down and chatted to Latics fans to our left and City fans on the right as we sat going nowhere in lane 2!!
Went to “another cup final” at Wembley late August 3pm kick off. Same travel arrangements ie car to outlying Tube station then t’Underground to Wembley…back home for 10.30pm.
Its staying at 5.15 KO on the BBC isn’t it in 2015? :angry:

Yay, a sensible post, for once. It had to happen, one day

Who unless you support Brighton or Hull would bother to watch it anyway???
The TV companies don’t give a toss about supporters.The 2 kick off times above are a clear indication of that.
The FA need to stop bending over for these people and insist all games kick off at 3 pm on a Saturday – including the Final.
They won’t though. MONEY MONEY MONEY that’s all that matters.
