My turn for the ticket for the Utd game so will be up for a few bevvys if you're coming over.
Good stuff L. Be great for a catch up a few pints.
Just remembered our friend is getting married the friday. We are going to be drunk as hell trying to get to the Airport the Saturday.
Ouch
From a fella on Rawk, seems to be fairly sure:
"As it stands, the United game is a Sat early morning kick off. The Mancs also starting at Swansea on the Monday night.
This is has been submitted from both Sky and BT, just waiting for the Police to confirm now SO could all change and don't take as gospel yet.
If I hear anymore I'll update"
Ryan, I thought the Saturday suited you better? Or have things changed?
Seems they'll definitely be done tomorrow:
UPDATE: TV fixtures will now be announced on Wednesday 10 July

Yeah definitely can't do the Saturday. My parents are coming over to London for the day and I can't ditch them unfortunately.
Sunday would work.
Fucking pisstake this:
The Barclays Premier League will continue discussions with all the relevant authorities ahead of the announcement of the first wave of live television fixtures for the 2013-14 season.
Last season, some 129 out of the 138 Premier League games broadcast live in the UK were scheduled with at least six weeks' notice for supporters.
Alterations to kick-off times and dates can, though, also be made for a host of other reasons and not just shifted for television demands - including the progress of teams in European
and domestic cup competitions as well as on police advice.
The new Premier League season will begin on Saturday, August 17, and there will be a number of fixtures that may be attractive to broadcasters in the opening round and may therefore move out of the traditional 3pm slot.
David Moyes takes charge of his first league game as Manchester United manager at Swansea, and Jose Mourinho's first competitive game since returning to Chelsea - at home to Hull - are two obvious candidates of matches which could be selected for one of the several TV slots over the weekend, as is Manuel Pellegrini's bow as Manchester City boss against Newcastle at the Etihad Stadium.
It is understood if all negotiations are completed, then an announcement on fixtures changes could be made tomorrow (Thurs).
The new £3.018billion deal for domestic TV rights for the next three years represents a 70 per cent increase on the previous contract which expired at the end of last season.
Sky, who have televised Premier League games since the birth of the competition in 1992, will show some 116 matches over the course of the forthcoming campaign, which will now also include the 5:30pm slot on a Saturday, as well as their usual Sunday afternoon and Monday night games.
BT will also be significant players this season, having paid £738million over three years for the games which under monopoly regulations cannot be sold to Sky. The company will have 18 "first picks" of matches, and will show games at 12:45pm on Saturdays and also Bank Holidays via their own platforms, which include a dedicated sports channel available on satellite.
There will also be interest in which games are selected for live broadcast on the weekend of August 31 and September 1.
Ideally, England manager Roy Hodgson would want all of his squad to be able to report on September 1 ahead of the crunch Group H World Cup qualifying double-header, at home to Moldova on September 6 and away to Ukraine on September 10.
However, while Manchester United's trip to Liverpool could well be moved forwards to a Saturday lunchtime slot on August 31, there is little flexibility with the scheduling of the north London derby.
Both Arsenal and Tottenham, who are likely to boast a healthy English contingent between them, will have a vital second leg of their respective European play-off ties that week, with Spurs' game set for Thursday, August 29, meaning the game at the Emirates Stadium would have to be moved to September 1.
A spokesman for the Football Supporters' Federation criticised what it sees as the delay between the announcement of the new season's fixtures and the confirmation of which games would be rescheduled for TV.
"The fixtures have been out for weeks now, so fans will be frustrated that it's taken TV companies so long to get their act together," said a FSF spokesman.
"Every passing day can see train fares rising, so the sooner fans know when games are going ahead the better.
"Let's not forget that, as the FSF's Twenty's Plenty Campaign points out, away fans are absolutely vital to the TV 'product.
"The spectacle isn't the same without supporters packing the stands, yet TV shows the match-going fans very little respect and often moves games to almost impossible times for away fans."

Another twist:
Sky Sports take tough stance with BT Sport over opening rounds of 2013-14 Premier League fixtures
Sky Sports has blocked BT Sport from broadcasting Manchester United’s biggest Premier League games at the start of next season, Telegraph Sport has learnt.

The first round of televised fixtures announced this morning will demonstrate just how seriously Sky is taking the challenge of its latest rival by ensuring it keeps an iron grip on the champions’ high-profile matches from August until November.
It is thought that Sky has exercised its right to first refusal on 20 of the 38 rounds of fixtures in order to broadcast David Moyes’s first three Premier League games in charge, starting with Swansea City away on the weekend of Aug 17 and followed by the home match with Chelsea and the trip to face Liverpool at Anfield.
Sky is also believed to have taken the Manchester derby, Moyes’s fifth league game at the helm, and at least one more of United's November games against Arsenal and Tottenham.
With the champions being English football’s biggest draw in terms of television audience, Sky’s decision to top-load its schedule with games involving them appears a no-brainer.
But with strict rules governing how many times individual teams are shown in a given season, it remains to be seen whether the strategy will give BT the opportunity to show more of United’s matches towards the business end of the campaign.
