Week ending August 17th is cup weekend. I assume teams knocked out won't be playing that weekend? Unless there is friendlies arranged. Definitely no league games though?

No, never is. Semi-final weekend is the only time when there is a clash with league fixtures.
You'll have to find something else to do that weekend.
Already have, just making sure I won't miss a game. Nice dig btw:p
No Premier Division fixtures this season on weekend when the semi-finals are on.
Anyone else think that the first weekend of June was way to early for the cup to start??
Unless you have a re-arranged fixture Sligoman
