Datum för cupomspelet klart

Sedan Arsenal och Hull spelade 0-0 i lördags har det varit tyst. Inget nytt datum för osmpelet har offentligjorts.
Men så idag kom det.
Fem dagar efter att matchen spelades.

Och trots svårigheter, ni kan läsa om det här, har klubbarna och förbundet hittat ett datum och en tid att spela på.
Matchen kommer att spelas tisdagen den 8 mars på KC Stadium klockan 20.00 svensk tid.

FA skriver i ett uttalande:

"It is important to note that numerous factors were fully considered before agreeing the date and time for the Hull City v Arsenal replay. In-depth and exhaustive discussions have taken place over the last 72 hours with all associated parties to determine the scheduling of this fixture and The FA recognises that this is not an ideal solution for everyone.

However, it does strengthen the case for footballing bodies to work closely together in a positive, collaborative way to resolve the overcrowded and untenable fixture schedule. Firstly, both clubs are challenging for honours and require the best available preparation time. As such, Monday 7 March was ruled out as an option.

It is recognised that this match will be partially played when UEFA have a scheduled programme of European fixtures and if there were any suitable alternatives, The FA would have warmly accepted these. There was an option for a 5.45pm kick off, however, the spirit of The FA Cup is strongly defined by the supporters and an earlier time would have significantly impacted on fans’ attendance. This was not a viable solution".
