do you think we will sell 6,000 plus ?
If it's Sat at 3pm - it won't be on TV. Maybe it will be moved good for TV. Fans don't matter these daysQuote:

We’ll get absolutely pumped.
Villa’s CL game is based on a draw from a hat isn’t it?Quote:

8.00pm like the Spurs gameQuote:

I don't understand the negativity shown on here. If we're not prepared for any eventuality why enter the damn competition. We're playing one of the best teams in the country, we'll be getting a sizeable chunk of date receipts and offer a great day out for our travelling supporters.
For those bemoaning our luck, we hit the jackpot by drawing Barnsley in the FA Cup Semi Final resulting in a never to be forgotten experience of seeing my team in an FA Cup Final.
This is going to be a difficult one to schedule as City have stupidly arranged the Hull game for the Wednesday before this tie (that looked daft to me even before Saturday’s cup win).
You’d think that would rule the Friday out.
I'm not sure how much say we get in it. They weren't happy with the League forcing the Watford game to be played at home a few days before the Swansea game.Quote:

EDIT: it won't be the Friday as you say, it'll be on the Saturday (and probably an excuse for a reduced away allocation due to Birmingham playing on Sky at 12.30 ) if Villa are playing CL following Tuesday or the Sunday if Villa are playing CL on the Wednesday.Quote:

By the way, the draw for the next round of the Champions League isn’t until 21st February!
12:30 Saturday BBC Wales is my forecast.
And Birmingham City are scheduled to be playing at 12:30 on the Saturday at home to Wycombe - live on Sky.Quote:

The previous games this season that were allowed to go ahead in Birmingham on the same day (first time since 2010 apparently):
Villa v Bologna
Brum v Bolton
And then just over a month later:
Villa v Brentford
Brum v Stockport
This is definitely not a 6 pointer
