I hope the club have thought of a sensible way of selling these.

The total scrum for tickets against Blues was a joke. They should be staggered sales depending on how many games you have attended this season.

They should, but could you honestly see it happening?
Don't think the practicality is possible in the short space of time they have in my opinion.

Where would they start on the away games I.e 5 games 8 games 3 games or just the cup ones?

Also fans could also argue they can only afford to pick and choose away games withy the home season ticket therefore shouldn't be not allowed an opportunity to buy a ticket if they haven't been to 3/5/8 away games.

All that went out of the window when the club scrapped the loyalty system mate. If this had still be in use then they could use that but they cant now.

There will be an allocation online and then an allocation for people who go to the ticket office. Home season ticket holders only

Id wet my pants with excitement even more if we were on the 5.30 slot

Not a chance, the police would never allow that.

Saturday March 7th - 3pm!
Must be an initial approximation given the weekend etc.

Playing Villa twice in 4 days reminds me of the 1960's, when over the Xmas period, we played the same team twice ie home and away within a 3 or 4 day gap.
Seemed to be the done thing in those days.

Match has been picked to be shown on BBC

I used to love that; I think it was partly done to make fans' travel easy, so you'd play a team on a good train route home and away as part of the Xmas fixtures.

yes on BBC at least so says the Mirror (taken off their website) seems BT thought Liverpool v Blackburn was a bigger game than a WM derby!!

With their first last-eight pick the BBC understandably chose Manchester Unitedâ€™s clash with Arsenal.

BT then selected Liverpoolâ€™s home tie with Blackburn leaving the Beeb with the first choice of the remaining two ties.

Guess 2 games will be on sat (1 BBC & 1 BT) with the others on the Sunday

I'll hazard a guess at:

Villa Vs WBA - Sat 7th 12.45pm
Liverpool Vs Blackburn - Sat 7th 5.00pm

Bradford Vs Reading - Sun 8th 1.00pm
Man u Vs Arsenal - Sun 8th 4.00pm

If as it inevitably will be it's an early kick off I'd much prefer the Saturday. It then gives me the Sunday to recover.

Weve played villa numerous times on a week night and we played them at 5.30 on a saturday a couple of years ago,the 2-2 game in the snow.

DOnt understand how liverpool blackburn is actually a bigger game, Blackburn are such a boring club

wbarenno · « **Reply #341 on:** February 18, 2015, 10:00:28 AM »

The bbc games are the late kick off on the saturday or the early kick off on the sunday

Bob · « **Reply #342 on:** February 18, 2015, 10:05:57 AM »

What time is the early ko on Sunday? Last week they had a 12:30 and a 2pm although they showed 3 games.

If its sunday im hoping that its a 2pm

I'm guessing the game won't have been chosen because Blackburn are playing. There must be another reason, but I can't for the life of me work it out.

It isn't, however I believe our league game against Villa is on BT Sport earlier that week so maybe they don't want the same game twice in such a short time. Its more likely so they can have the Liverpool/Gerrard love in with about 5 minutes of build up saved to actually mention Blackburn.

Two reasons - 1. BT Sports already televise our game four days before so will not want a repeat. 2. BT Sports (advertising name) should be re-named Liverpool TV for the number of games they televise.
It is one of the reasons I will never subscribe to that channel â€“ god help you if Liverpool get access to the champions league next season there will be one hell of a five knuckle shuffle going on in their boardroom
