This season's FA Cup final on 3 June will revert to a 15:00 BST kick-off for the first time in 12 years.


The match between Manchester United and Manchester City at Wembley was expected to begin between 16:45 and 17:30.

But London's Metropolitan Police has categorised the derby match as high risk and objected to the later kick-off times on security grounds.

It is set to be the first time the game has started at 15:00 since Manchester City beat Stoke in 2011.
It will be the first FA Cup final between the sides and last season, Liverpool and Chelsea both received allocations in excess of 30,000 for the game.

The earlier kick-off time should make travelling away from London easier for the fans, with the last direct train from the capital to Manchester on 3 June scheduled to depart at 21:01.

hi good folks
got a friend travelling over from Ireland with his two young boys to watch game on Sunday.  His lads would like to see players arriving. Ive never been at OT earlier than 10 mins before kick off so wouldn't know what time to advise him to get there.  any suggestions?

A headline from the Sun, suggesting that Joel and Avram Glazer could launch a shock bid to keep control of Manchester United by buying out their four siblings has to be the worst news ever.  

What do you think?

Hi am a newbie just subscribed to gold will I able to get sorted in time for the palace game?

Thanks for your help.
