Why can't the Villa game be on a Saturday? It'll be a nightmare getting through the rush hour traffic for a Friday evening kick off! I'm assuming it'll be live on TV to be put forward to a Friday evening?

Massive game, it’s a one off and other Clubs Fans just go

Every ticket should be Sold

And let’s be fair you could leave Cardiff 4pm and Def be there well before an 8pm kick off

Fantastic

It's to fit in with the Champions League schedule for Villa and for TV - one of seven matches on TV.

But I would still hope we'll sell out the away end. It's an away match against a top Premier League team in the Last 16 of the FA Cup.

I don't think a Friday night is that inconvenient anyway, it's quite a simple journey from Cardiff.

Totally agree Ned, 100% 6,000 Sell Out

Gutted with the FA Cup date. Thousands of us who finish work after 5pm ruled out. Still expect us to take around 3000 but definitely not anywhere near the 6500.

Villa's next Champions League game will be either March 4th or March 5th for the next round, so there's no reason why it can't be played on a Saturday.

I have no annual leave left and I won't be able to drive there straight from work through rush hour traffic in under 3 hours, so I'm going to have to miss this one now.

Yet again, no consideration is shown to the fans. Hopefully, it's on TV.

The other issue with playing it on the Saturday is that Birmingham are at home that day.

Carlisle woukd even sell out

Played clubs like Manchester United away on midweek games and sold our allocation of 3,500 in the Premier League, so yes 6,000 I can’t see a problem.

Not a chance of 6,000 going on a Friday night, people work until 5pm unless they take the day off or are retired etc. and it's no doubt on tv.

I'm going for no more than 4,000 maximum.

Think we will sellout as it’s gonna be a while before we play a Prem side again…saying that I live quite close to Villa Park and know the Villa fans are looking forward to it …they r expecting a win but a tough game
