Fixture Congestion

[Tomo 21,681]

Title just about says all you need to know.

As most of you are aware the replay at Stamford Bridge against Everton is on the weekend of the 5th round, should we beat the Mersysiders our 5th round game against Reading will be midweek of March 1st when the 5th round re-plays will be on (the day were suppose to be playing our already once prosponed match against Man.Utd). What about if the Reading match (should we make it through) goes to a re-play?

This is not mentioning our match at home to Birmingham is getting put back due to their participation in the carling cup final, by the time we get to April if the fixture list could be made to look un-bearable. It could end up giving us a dis-advantage in the champions league latter stages (should we get there).

Given all that the sensible thing would be to move our match against Spurs at Stamford Bridge (orginally due at the end of April) to the carling cup final weekend (Spurs were meant to be playing Arsenal that weekend), given our potential fixture pile-up at the buisness end if the FA can get 1 fixture out of the way now surely they should?
