    To all those who didn't watch it or was it bull poo from the likes of Dreamboy who said he wasn't watching it because of the time of kick off?

    I'm not sure what this obsession with kick off time. I thought it was a good kick off time. Had something to eat before the game and then watch it. Very good time for me. Even had a Fosters whilst watching the football which is unusual for me but that's because it was played later and at a better time.

    Anyway to Wigan and there fans. Well done. I'm sure it was a better time for them travelling down too. Maybe gave them the chance to get to London and enjoy the day more.

    Me too, i dont have a problem with the kick off time, what i do have a problem with is the Premier league extending there season time.

    FA Cup final should always be the last game of the season.

    No, 3pm has always been the traditional time and it is wrong that Skyshite and the like is dictating kick off times. It's wrong, some of those fans won't get home until midnight, not even time for a pint in the pub.

    I enjoyed the game, but Cup final day has been **** now for a long, long time. In fact so long, you won't have seen a good one Hemswort.

    So did I

    Would still have preferred a 3pm Kick off being a traditionalist but didnt stop me watching it because it was a bit later
    Cracking game and the best team winning - which just happened to be the team I wanted to win as well so all in all a good way to spend a couple of hours

    I thought it was a fairly boring match... apart from the last 3 minutes or so! Well done Wigan, I'm so pleased for them! :cool:

    You have obviously never tried to get out of Wembley after a match with 80,000 others! :D

    I actually made it back to my hotel in Borehamwood for 11pm after England vs. Brazil, I was quite impressed with how quickly the crowds were moved on.

    Very enjoyable watching the big boys getting shafted.

    They`d just won the cup, yet trying to find out about managerial movement seemed to be more important to ITV with the interviews.

    It was a decent game but the kick off time is stupid. Its bad for those fans watching on tv and its terrible for those travelling home aftsr games. More importantly though having it before the season ends is stupid. Its supposed to be a clubs last chance. Wigan should have been playing knowing if theyre relegated

    Errm... I never said it was.
    Kick off shifted as not to clash with televised sky games. And they are not free either, none of it is. There shouldn't be premier league games on cup final day.

    No it wasn't, it was a commercial decision to capture a bigger overseas TV audience. Thought there was only 1 other game today.

    Well it failed here. I tuned in to watch it only to find out it was scheduled for the evening instead so I turned the telly off and went back out into the garden. Don't think the neighbours watched it either.

    Well it just goes to show you a premier team that's just dropped down to the best league in the world can beat last seasons premier league winners.
    Well done Wigan
