Whilst Fine for me, What about the other fans?

I've just been researching the possibility of getting back to the UK for the Villarreal home leg and the Chelsea Semi Final the following weekend. It looks like it's possible and have fingers crossed that I (or, in this case, my friend Ian) is successful in getting tickets from the club and am hoping the credit crunch will put enough STHs off! I remember when I first got a Season Ticket it was all about having a guaranteed chance of tickets for Cup Finals - not anymore. I can't believe we only get 32,000 seats for the semi, since it holds 90,000!
The other thing about the FA Cup Semi-Finals is the ridiculous arrangement of them. Arsenal and Chelsea fans get all day on a Saturday to drink before a 5.15pm KO, sure the police are happy with that. Meanwhile half of Liverpool, 1/10 of Manchester (and the rest from Essex and the Home Counties) have to travel on a Sunday for the game!!! It doesn't make any sense at all and whilst it's fine for us there doesn't seem to have been much of a fuss kicked up about it. Football fans are so used to TV dictating the schedule that we would probably turn up for a Tuesday morning game at 05.00AM if it suited Shanghai TV or whoever!

I must say the kick off times for Setanta are very difficult to understand.
