Any truth in the rumour that this is kicking off at 8pm since there are already two London derbies scheduled for that day?

Find it quite bizarre this never had a pre-designated KO time. Looking at the fixtures 7/8pm wouldn’t surprise me TBH. Unless they go 12:00 14:30 17:30. Sky will want 3 games that day somehow.

Only Arsenal Chelsea and Leicester Man Utd that day? What's the other one, isn't showing on BBC.

 

Leicester/Man Utd kicks off at 7pm so you'd imagine Arsenal Chelsea at 1.30/2 and the final at 4.30

Just seen 7pm slot taken… with potential extra time and pens that might make 4pm more sensible.

Think loads would be pissed up by that time of night, especially as most will be staying down there or arriving in London as early as possible on the Sunday. This in itself would make it harder for the Met' so hopefully it won't happen but who knows nowadays.

Livescore has it at 8pm, just guessing I assume?

Fulham/Spurs also.

The date has been known for ages be a dereliction of duty from the police and fixture schedulers not to have factored in the other games already

Anyone know any ideas of places to stay within tube distance of Wembley other than Watford? Only really know Watford

Anywhere mate as long as it's a direct tube no faffing with switches

[gbandit]

Anywhere on the jubilee line surely, at least anywhere within ten stops

Probably be at least one change from Barnet.

 

Depends how much want to pay really. Obviously the further out you stop the cheaper it’ll be, but the more awkward the journey.

Seems unlikely Sky would want it on the same time as a live PL game?

Found decent cheap hotel Stratford but it's an hour tube

8pm is going to fuck a lot of people’s trains up.

That’s a long way away, an hour at least. Look at west or north west London. Harrow, Ruislip and Pinner are near enough and won’t be too expensive.

Anyone uses livescore - they  have it as 8pm. 

[LFEE]

Who’s got the 7pm game? Sky or TNT?

Sky according to live-footballontv.com 

[NUFCDoog]

Sky have the 7pm game.

 

Unless they change the Leicester/Man Utd kick off time i can't see it kicking off at 8.

 

Livescore must just have it wrong, I know there's two london derbies but having this kick off at 8pm with people able to be in pubs all day isn't going to be ideal for police either.

Tbf they’ve had that on since Friday so I doubt it was confirmed when they whacked it up.

[Bizza]

No way will the polis want our fans sat in pubs all day long waiting for an 8pm kick off.

Surely not
