Newcastle United have just made an official announcement that the Newcastle v Blackburn FA Cup third round match has now been moved.

The club stated earlier on Friday that Newcastle v Blackburn was a 3pm kick off on Saturday 5 January but now it has been moved for Live TV.

Newcastle v Blackburn has been confirmed on its expected date.



All a bit amateur hour and lack of communication as now NUFC say the match kick-off is moved to 5.30pm for Live TV coverage.

It would have been very surprising if it had been moved for live TV, maybe possible if it had been Newcastle playing away at Blackburn.

The date was basically confirmed yesterday, when the six matches moved for live TV were confirmed.

This is despite the club having put out an announcement earlier today (see below) saying the game definitely wasn’t on live TV and so the date was as expected, Saturday 5 January with a 3pm kick-off.
