Where is the Red & Blue army watching the final on Saturday night?

More to the point, why is KO at 5.30 pm UK time? It always used to be 3 pm. I pity the Man U fans; the earliest the game would finish is 7.15. There is the possibility of ET and/or pens; so what time do they get back to Manchester?

[TommyTucker]

I am guessing that the time has been changed to appeal to the global audience. I also think that more people in the UK would prefer the later kick off.

Anyway good luck to Palace!

I went to Wembley the last time the Eagles played Man U in the Cup Final, which we should have won, also went to the replay.

Never forget the semi final at Villa Park or the actual final at Wembley, great great days. The replay was a huge disappointment as a game of football and the result.

Most United fans live south of Watford Gap.
