.Same here SoS (in that I didn't know it was the FA Cup Final either) - and was surprised to see it sandwiched between 3 Premier League games today.
I even had took up the two teams playing and kick off time; Chelsea vs Leicester, a 5.15pm ko. I wonder what the UK TV viewing figures are like since it was moved from 3pm to 5.15pm? (back in 2012?)
2011 had a 3pm kick off -
