Fixture Changes Thread

[Kenny]

Should be a hell of a lot of games moved this season, especially early doors.

To start - Opening game v Leicester now on the Sunday. If we beat Crusaders/B36 it would be moved anyway so sensible doing this now so fans have plenty of time to plan rather than the change being made the week before.

Will presume they are waiting for Sky and BT to pick their games before announcing any Man Utd move (TV games announced around the 5th July)

To start - Opening game v Leicester now on the Sunday.

[Kenny]

v Man Utd (h) - Monday 19th August (Live on Sky, KO 8pm)
v Everton (a) - Sunday 1st September (Live on Sky, KO 2pm)

 

[Tony Towner]

Every chance both of those would have been moved anyway

That Monday night is a right pain in the arse. First day back at work after holiday so no chance of an early mark to enjoy a few beers. Going to be a bit of a mad rush. Was hoping for the Sunday 4.30 slot for that one. Oh well

Benefit of retirement is that I can still afford the time to get to games, but my discount rate at Redwings is going to go through the roof

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Newcastle away moved to Sun 27 Oct at 2pm for Sky.

 

[Tony Towner]

Burnley now 4.30 on the Sunday.

Burnley now 4.30 on the Sunday.

Probably going to need that to be another overnight stay then with a later kick off time - possibly got 1 train to get home on, but any hiccup on the links & I would be sleeping on Salisbury Station!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Great news that it is the 4.30 kick off.

You've always got your cheap coat to keep you warm..

That's a bonus then :icon_smile:

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I will be waiting for a dog sitter to return from being on the piss in Sutton Coldfield on Saturday night. So 4.30pm is a massive bonus for drinking time chances.

 

[Kenny]

2 moves confirmed due to Europa League

Crystal Palace (a) Now Sunday 22nd September 2pm Kick Off
Man City (a) Now Sunday 6th October 2pm Kick Off

 

[Boozad]

We'll be on TV loads more now, fucking bonus.

 

[The Bion]

Crap, I'm in Seattle for the Palace game. 6am start!

 

[Trips]

We'll be on TV loads more now, fucking bonus.

Not necessarily, plenty of Arsenal games last year were played on Sunday and weren't on TV. It's why we see weekends with 2 games in the Prem kicking off at 3pm on Saturday

OK I'll rephrase. The chances of our away games being on TV have massively increased. Fucking bonus.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Villa at home now 2pm on Sunday on Sky (was going to get moved anyway as we have Europe that week)

 

[Stan Hullis]

Sheffield Utd (H) moved to Sun Dec 1st as well but not televised
