Chelsea moved to Weds Jan 30th

[No Fixed Abode]

So Chelsea's FA Cup game against Southend or Brentford is being televised by ESPN, which means the game is taking place on Sunday 27th Jan and ONLY two days later it's Reading v Chelsea.

Our game with them will be moved back a day - it's the Reading way don't you know.

Oh so you'll get to go to the Sheffield United match and won't miss seeing Chelsea play for a change

OFFS! I am supposed to be going to Germany for a couple of days that week - have been desperately trying to make sure I'm still in the UK on the 29th, just about got agreement that we'll go on the 30th - now I'll have to come up with another excuse to delay to the week after.

[Z175]

I think we'll beat chelsea- Benitez has this track record of inconsistancy, bizarre squad rotation, underestimating weaker teams and defeats to Reading!

There is no news suggesting Reading v Chelsea is going to be moved from 29th. It might be, but would have thought they'd have announced it by now seeing as cup TV games were announced this morning.

I imagine they will ut out the strongest possible team against Southend or Brentford, cos they have the easy game to follow

Game just moved to Weds. Another 24hrs for them.

makes sense. Although quite short notice, so I suspect some home fans won't be too pleased about it.

[Gunny Fishcake]

Fcuking Premiershite ...bollox to the fans , give them no notice and switch a game when many would have made work plans around the 29th ....tossers

[Royal With Cheese]

Just under 3 weeks notice. Pretty standard fayre from the Prem methinks.

[soggy biscuit]

Might not be able to make it now. Grrrrr!

Isn't it the FA Cup's fault, rather than the Premiershite?

[Barry the bird boggler]

All because little old Chelsea couldn't possibly be expected to play on a Sunday and Tuesday, even though they'll probably field two different sides in the two games (and only need 5 players to beat us).

[Alexander Litvinenko]

In this case you can't really blames the PL - as it was an FA Cup tie switched for TV which has forced the change.

If you want to blame anyone, blame Reading for scheduling this on a Tuesday (when they had a choice of Tuesday or Wednesday) and should have known there was a possibility of the opponents being involved in a televised FA Cup game on the Sunday.

Pissed off with this... Arranged a customer meeting orginally on the 29th up north, then moved it to the 30th when I realised we were at home to Chelsea on the 29th.

Sods law, back to the customer it is!!!

[Gunny Fishcake]

Still fuming ......even if it's the FA Cup it's still crap and bollox to us fans to suit all the sofa fans ...I like others planned work trip away on 3Oth so well p*ssed off

[scumbag]

I'm now going to miss this, and i'm mightily pissed off about it.

[RobRoyal]

Incredible coincidence.... I live in Sheffield but have to stay over in Reading for work on the 30th... rather chuffed at this!
