The Merseyside club’s request for the first of the semi-final dates, Saturday, April 14, has been accepted. The FA contacted Liverpool representatives before their quarter-final victory over Stoke on Saturday and made it known it fully respected the club’s desire to avoid playing on April 15. Having reached the last four, the cup organisers have now informed the television broadcasters that Liverpool's semi-final will be the Saturday fixture. This will come as a relief to Liverpool and their supporters, who have never had to play on the anniversary of the tragedy in the 23 years since 96 supporters lost their lives. An annual memorial service takes place at Anfield on April 15 and Kenny Dalglish, the Liverpool manager, had made it clear the club would not play on the anniversary.
