Let's hope the draw is lucky and lessons have been learnt by all.
I guess it is Euro 2020 why the Police is being extra cautious with Wembley matches in particular. I can remember around a decade ago we had a Tottenham v. Chelsea FA Cup semi-final at 6pm on a Sunday; I wouldn't imagine that being after midday at the moment!
I'd wager Steve Crossman (most likely) would be drafted in for 5 Live Sport on Saturday, possibly with Sonja McLauchlin anchoring the rugby. Though, it is Mark Chapman is still down on the schedule
Remember though, the rugby match on BBC2 that night is at Wigan, which is only about half an hour's drive from MediaCity. So maybe he could do the football and the first half of Scotland v England, with Sonja McLaughlan taking over at half time
