If that. Took 1800 to Wolves the other week when they could have had about 6k, and that's on a weekend when they haven't played the same fixture 11 days earlier

Club will struggle to sell out of hospo for this one with an extra 4-5k home support GA tickets that'll go on general sale, maybe 1600 that have shrewsbury but not cardiff but be plenty drop to members

Maybe this will be the first game to drop to 'general sale' since the WBA game in Jan 2018

400 tickets left for norwich at the moment plus potential further returns, wonder if it will drop to general sale

I know it’s all hypothetical, but if we beat Norwich and get another home tie and progress to the semis.
With Cardiff taking the full end and if the club don’t use previous aways. What’s the guesstimate on getting a ticket especially if we get a 33k allocation with 4+

Reckon it will be similar to the League cup ballot, I don't know what happens with priority rights at a semi though as this one wouldn't be played at home and it's not a final so they likely won't be entitled to them.

PRH access includes home cup ties, finals and neutral venue semi-finals which is essentially only FA Cup semi-finals under current tournament formats.

Pretty much all teams left will give us a decent allocation if we are drawn away... 4.5k+ for all of them I think

Boro at home would do nicely

Sky will want that as late as they can get it, as a possible title decider. So I'd expect it to be one of the later midweeks.

They won't be able to do that if either of us are still in the champions league - the qf and sf dates won't change. And if we go further in the FA the semi final and final will have to be rearranged late on in the season - so only really leaves one or two midweek dates

These are the only 3 midweeks available

There's nothing really to stop them putting it on any of those dates.

There doesn't appear to be any reason why it couldn't potentially be one of the last two midweeks, and I would expect SKY to push for that. It would probably meant the Villa away game (semi final date) being put on the 19/20th April, if we got through in FA Cup

It would make sense to schedule it now for 19/20 April. If we get through the FA Cup QF, put the Villa game the week before the cup final, then if we get to the cup final put Southampton back a few days.
But sense doesn't come in to play it seems.
It was already known in advance that Chelsea v Norwich on the same weekend as us v United would be played next Thursday if either side progressed to the QF. So why can that be arranged in advance but ours cant?

19/20 April is the only date the came can 100% be played

If we get through to the CL semi and the fa cup final the other 2 mid week spots will have to be taken up by Villa (a) and Saints (a) to ensure all fixtures are fulfilled by Wolves (h) as the FA cup dates will be played those weekends at Wembley

That Norwich v Chelsea re arrangement is pretty out of order for Chelsea. Making their away fans get transport and possible hotels with 7 days notice.

What's to stop them saying the Villa game will be played on 19/20 April if Liverpool qualify for the semi final?
As above, it was already pre determined that Chelsea v Norwich would be played next Thursday in advance of the ties this week, so they could do the same with Villa.

Chelsea had extra games to fit in because of the world cup

We can do it with minimal disruption, no point chopping and changing more than needed because united would then still be a midweek later in the year, just dont see the point theres no benefit

Aston Villa & Southampton also have 1 game each to re-arrange. If Southampton go far in the FA cup then that also needs to be taken into account too.
The 'easiest' thing to do is to get MU arranged for April, but the PL may not see it that way.

I agree. And I hope it is that date as I've gambled and booked a hotel last night, but the Premier League and Sky aren't really renowned for doing what's best for fans.

Pretty certain that's not allowed any more. If the clubs own venue isn't suitable, they have to switch to a  local one that is. In that instance, you'd expect it to be Watford, for example.
