Has anyone else noticed that this years FA Cup 5th round is on a Wednesday ( March 4th )

It will just be our luck to draw someone like Spurs away and because its a midweek game, our support would be way down on what it would be, if it was a saturday.

Does anyone know why the games are midweek ??

Think it's to accommodate the mini winter break in the Premier League. Frees up one more weekend for a full round of league fixtures to be played.

could also be to aid an earlier end of season because of the Euro's ?
 
The winter break is actually spread over 2 weekends which each team getting 1 weekend off.

5 fixtures on each weekend which I'm pretty sure means all games will be on tv.
