It's showing both games at 3pm on Saturday. Which would certainly make for an interesting couple of hours but seems unlikely.

Perhaps flip a coin and loser plays on the car park with jumpers for goalposts?

This could be a lot of fun. Two balls, one yellow, one white. Teams only considered when twatting, I mean engaging with, the team in the 'match' they are playing with - any external interference is coffee cup waved on by the ref. You can play the wrong ball, but you can't be fouled by wrong players.
Could get nicely rollerbally.

With the 3 pm Saturday TV blackout that is the one time neither game will be starting.
-
I thought it was lifted before for the fa cup semis wasn't it?
Or am I talking hogwash again?
-
Maybe that's just bollocks, Les.

The only time I recall a 3pm Saturday TV broadcast of a domestic football match, was when the FA Cup was shown at that time, after the season ended and there were no other matches. You know, before the ship was invented to destroy community football, and devalue and diminish the most historic of world football tournaments.

There was no football before the ‘ship so this definitely never happened

Something on the Twatter earlier (yes, I know) which was from a genuine-looking Villa feed saying that the club's annual sleep-out to raise money for the homeless was being moved from Saturday 26 April so as not to impact on 'those fans heading down to Wembley for the FA Cup semi-final on Sunday'.
I was absolutely working to the assumption ours would not be the Saturday game, but who knows? Hopefully the FA do.
EDIT: Strike that. Appears the post was poorly worded and the sleep-out was due to be the Friday, so when it talks about not impacting on the game 'tomorrow' it was referring to Saturday. Therefore back to the original presumption of Sunday (London Marathon day) for Forest. Or I could just stop speculating and we could wait for the official announcement, of course.

I've now read this post 4 times and it still makes no sense.
-
Apologies.
Villa post on Twatter appeared to suggest a club charity event had been cancelled on Saturday night because of fans travelling to Wembley the next day.
Turns out the post (not unlike my description of it) was poorly worded and the event was actually due to held on Friday night, hence 'tomorrow' referred to Saturday not Sunday.
Therefore, the initial thought that the Twatter post was confirming a Sunday date for their game against Palace appears unfounded. If genuine, it would appear to suggest that Villa have already been told their semi-final will be held on Saturday.
-
Think you can assume the clubs know when they are playing and are sorting out ticketing
-
Have been told announcement today or tomorrow, 34K tix and Sunday is expected.
