Fact of the matter is, it was on both Spurs and FA website as a 3pm Saturday k.o. Everyone naturally assumed it would be played then, including our club, when it wasn't selected for TV. Some people already bought train tickets. I was still considering whether I wanted to go, was waiting to here back from a couple of mates to see if they were going- otherwise I would have bought train tickets then to get a cheaper deal. If Spurs want to play it on the Monday instead of the Saturday, they should reimburse those fans who bought train tickets, as well as providing the free coach travel which they have done.

The hardcore fans who travel all over the country and Europe to follow the club should ALWAYS be prioritized over the 99% armchair majority.

Burnley, so we got the glam tie, looking forward to it. Get some sun and maybe have a lie on the beach before the game.

"We are fully aware that the date for this match may present problems to some members of our fan base intending to travel to Turf Moor and we are currently in the process of confirming details to assist with transport arrangements"

Give them a chance at least, lets see what the "assistance" is first

Well if we get knocked out by Burnley, I won't be too happy, but I think we have a better chance by playing on Monday rather than Saturday.

Didn't we used to play Christmas Day and Boxing Day? And Good Friday, Easter Weekend & Easter Monday?

We're playing Leicester 3pm Boxing Day, and Man United Midday on the 28th? That's not a problem though is it? Oh, because we get TV money for that one.

Football without fans is nothing.

So you seriously think it's a good idea to play Thursday night, Saturday afternoon. The overwhelming majority of our fans, roughly 99% of them WON'T be at Burnley whether it's played Saturday Sunday or Monday. But because of the desire of 1 or 2% of our fanbase to go to Burnley on a Saturday but not a Monday, we should risk going out of the FA Cup.

As you say 'football without fans' is nothing and I'm very confident the MAJORITY of Spurs fans would rather us still be in the FA Cup for the 4th round, rather than lose at Burnley.

So again WELL DONE to the the club for making this on a Monday, and also arranging FREE coach travel.

Yeah the armchair fans are far more important than the ones who pay hard earned money to schlap up to burnley.
