Play Spurs on the Saturday at midday, then the replay on the Monday night?

That doesn't sound right. Our next game isn't until the West Brom match the following weekend so it'll likely be on the Tuesday/ Wednesday if that's the week it's held in.

It's because BT don't want it to clash with the CL games that week apparently.

Just move the Swansea game, works out better for us that way cos we have a shit Hull game instead of a bogey team of ours in between Utd n Spurs.

Come on, do you think BT are going to give a f**k about whats best for us? No. They will play it whenever they want to rake in as many viewers as possible.

Well obviously but it's completely illogical and we moved our Sunderland game last year to accommodate a cup game, ending up playing it midweek on the final week of the season. I even have a ticket for the Swans game n rather it got moved than some bollocks Monday game. Surely the clubs have to agree to some extent?

It won't be on the same day as CL games. UEFA rules. F all to do with BT sport.

From this weekend onwards, these are the fixtures for both teams:

Red being us and orange being them of course. This assuming that from Friday 11th March onwards is off limits as that's the next round and the replay has to be decided before then.

Moving the Swansea game would be tricky as it'd involve them moving their game with Birmingham too. Playing it 48 hours after the Spurs game wouldn't be that straightforward either as it'd involve them moving their game against Brentford.

Something's gotta give somewhere.

Right, it's been confirmed that the replay will be on 8th March which is three days after the NLD!

That's better.

Is this definite? Have both Hull and Brentford agreed to move their other fixture on that day then?
