    Semi-final time

    Now we have got rid of those moaning Citie fans ( who by the way were telling us on the way to the ground that it was going to be a massacre) Umm wrong!!!
    Now I am sure that the FA will consult with Arsenal as too the time they want to kick off to ensure that there Fans can have lunch at home then stroll down to Wembley without getting indigestion, Wigan fans sorry if it's a late kick off means no trains, late home but do they care, well we wait and see, we dont mind adding another scalp to our belt, Arsenal look out. We like Wembley we do

    t is only a late kick off because 'budweiser' sponsor it , and it is so the 'American market. can watch it. there is , unfortunately, nothing we can do about it, but it is out of order, because even in say California, a 3.00 kick off would mean 5.00 am there, hardly the middle of the night

    The late kick off's aren't anything to do with the American market coz (if nothing else) I would imagine that the TV demand for an FA Cup semi-final over there is minimal. Budweiser sponsor the FA Cup to increase their UK market share & nowt to do with the American market

    if it does kick off at 5.30pm it's because that is the time that the UK TV company showing it live wants as that gets them their biggest audience share & as a result advertising revenue. That came out last year when latics were complaining about the kick off time
