Two Newcastle United matches await new dates


 
 
 
 
 
 

Two of the remaining ten Newcastle United matches are now awaiting new dates.

Manchester United’s surprise home win over Klopp’s Liverpool on Sunday, means Man U will be in FA Cup action on the weekend of Saturday 20 April.

That leading to the scheduled Premier League match against Newcastle United at Old Trafford now needing a new date.

Newcastle’s quarter-final at Man City had already meant the NUFC v Palace game was looking for a new place in the schedule.

This season had seen broadcasters and Premier League make a commitment (see below) to give a minimum of six weeks notice of TV changes until December, then five weeks notice until Match Round 37.

However, they have very predictably just ‘forgotten’ about that promise already this season with previous delayed announcements.

Once again they have done this, as we are now less than five weeks away from that round of PL matches on the weekend of Saturday 20 April, with Premier League club fans not informed of the schedule.

No excuse now, with all the European draws having been made for the quarter-finals and semi-finals of the competitions, as well as the FA Cup semi-finalists now known.

So we should (hopefully!) expect at least some kind of news from the broadcasters and Premier League in the coming days.
