It's not the attendances at the other Prem grounds that the FA are seeking to protect.

Exactly.

That's a point that I hadn't considered. An interesting one as well.

 

[Skitzo]

The FA won't allow it.

its not just the prem games, Sky weren't allowed to show Barca Real as it kicked off at 3pm here the other Saturday

To the all knowing forum members: Usually how long before the games do the powers that be announce or confirm matches that are to be moved?

How long is a piece of string? It can be two months; it has been as little as two weeks.

The Liverpool game that has been moved to the Monday night for TV could be moved again, as it's the day after the League Cup final. Liverpool's semi-final second leg isn't until the end of January, so we'll get around four weeks notice.
So if you've already booked non-refundable hotels and train tickets, tough shit.

If it does have to move again the most sensible date would be the Wednesday of the same week.

So if Spurs go through (highly likely) it will be moved to a weekday? We already have Arsenal to schedule in so that could be tight
