Chelsea date now confirmed as Tuesday 24th September

I'm really hoping it's anything but 17th, my wife's 65th and I don't think she'll be too happy if I prefer the football than her birthday

But she enjoys a Birthday every year??? Wink.

In all seriousness, it’s 5 days since the draw, people need to book holidays etc, what’s happening ?

Quite right. This is what happens when the game is beholden to these [SwearFilter] tv companies.

Even the BBC haven't got the official confirmation yet. Unfortunately these things take time.

Just been on sky live games, and we are not a live match, and it has 17th September, so why haven’t the club officially announced this?

Have they announced which games they are showing?

[Gazza]

All games are live either on main channels, red button or via Sky Sports App. All games showing as 17th so still nothing decided yet

[watcher]

The only game showing for 17 September are EFL trophy games. There doesn't seem to be any for the EFL Carabao cup.

Yes, but they will have a game on the Wednesday which isn’t showing on that list so until that’s been decided we are still in a #NotYet situation.

I’d say we’re 99% sure to be on the Tuesday, mind.

At the moment of typing this no decision on times & live games have been announced. So far this season Sky have shown two live games on each night of this competition so am expecting the same again. Obviously City, Arsenal, Villa & Liverpool ties will take the following week as they play Champions league games the week beginning 16th September. The other teams playing in Europe United & Spurs play their first games in the Europa League the following week & Chelsea, more importantly for us, don't play their Europa Conference first match until the first week in October. I'd imagine all the Champions League teams EFL ties will be shown live on Sky (2 on Tues 24 Sept & the other 2 on Wed 25 Sept). Now presuming (and I am presuming here) there maybe 4 live games on the week Barrow play Chelsea one will always be United who play Barnsley (because of viewing figures United attract) that week & probably Wimbledon - Newcastle & maybe Walsall - Leicester will be live. I think we might still have a fair chance of being the other live game. But that all depends, of course, if 4 live games continue to be shown by Sky each week.

I’m sure the Chelsea lot would love a rendition of Barrow Ranger.

If your a “Chelsea” (I.e any interest) fan surely you snap that up for the food/drink alone

[bluessupporter]

Not sure about this. Although generally good reports about Travelzoo there are some bad ones about as well.

There’s an old saying “if it seems too good to be true ……….”
