better than a late slot on a Sunday I suppose but Saturday would have been better , i'll be there anyway with a son or two
Least we would have been able to get there easier and had the pre-match build up with that, even if it did mean a late finish! This just ruins every aspect of it!
As someone mentioned in another thread, in an earlier round they made Southampton play in a 12.30 kick off at Sunderland, so tv companies gave up caring about the fans a long time ago.
Not sure I totally agree with that. Yes, early kick-offs are harder to make an atmosphere but if we can't create one at an FA Cup semi-final then I think we give up...
Outrageous; the kick off time for Man Citeh v Wigan has had to be pushed back 5 mins. You can't treat them like this!!!!! And the 13:30 kickoff put back 30 mins.

No difference from just happened, game on Sat / Mon.
Both teams played on Saturday in that case mate.
This is not great for me, but could have been worse. I have to take friends to the airport at 2, so I will get to see the game, but it would have been nice to have a drink on one of the two occasions this season when we have been on "proper" television. Absolute garbage for those of you travelling - I have tried to complain on the FA website but there's no way to do so by e-mail. The feedback form they talk about simply does not exist in reality.
I don't 'expect' anything from Charlton apart from battling performances on the pitch but perhaps they can use some of that TV money to get 4,000 fans to Sheffield. A great chance for the club and RD to shine.
Come on guys, agree its a shit time but lets all make every effort to get as many up there to cheer on the lads as possible, biggest game for us for some time.

7.45 on a friday/5.30 on a saturday, full away end, trains up there, a lot of fans drinking for a large part of the day, game under floodlights..........versus..................midday sunday, no drinking, reduced away numbers, game at an awful time of day.
What do you reckon would produce the better atmosphere?

but its not as if we are travelling to Hull or Sunderland that would've been worse

And no booze = no atmosphere
only for the driver, we drove to Carlisle and it was one of the booziest and other fun recreational activities in ages apart from the poor driver
