Corky Posted 17 April 2019 Posted 17 April 2019 A dreadful kick-off time in the first place and inexcusable on a Bank Holiday.

CosbehFox Posted 17 April 2019 Posted 17 April 2019 Do we have actual confirmation? They are utter wankstains the TV companies. Ironic that Ajax who are in the CL set their fixtures in late July and they never change, they factor all the potential European qualification and television coverage into it
Corky Posted 17 April 2019 Posted 17 April 2019 I meant Monday night is a dreadful kick-off time, at least Saturday lunchtime doesn't disrupt plans too much. Why couldn't it be at 3pm on the Monday? What does it clash with?
Ric Flair Posted 17 April 2019 Posted 17 April 2019 Back to back Monday night games, end the season now.
DerbyshireFox Posted 17 April 2019 Posted 17 April 2019 More than likely a Monday but let’s wait for confirmation first. Praying for a Sunday kickoff now or I’ll need a shift swap or to come out of a shift at work. PL and TV companies have properly screwed up the fixtures for that weekend. So poorly organised it’s unreal

Basically Ajax have a cup final on Sunday so they have to play on Wednesday, meaning Liverpool have to play on Tuesday. Liverpool originally were supposed to play on a Sunday but due to the short turn around they get the 12:30 Saturday slot we originally had. Spurs get the slot Liverpool had on the Sunday, leaving us with the Monday night game.

You never know, UEFA might be flexible and play both second legs on the Wednesday as currently both semis are being played on the same day for both legs. They could put Huddersfield vs United to the Monday instead of Bournemouth Spurs, move that to the Sunday and leave us alone (wishful thinking most probably!) ? https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11945/11695432/when-are-the-cl-semi-finals-and-final

KingsX Posted 18 April 2019 Posted 18 April 2019 I read mixed reviews of the away support, but more and more I am respectful. Back when I was a Browns STH, my longest away trip was Houston. About the distance of Bucharest from you -- but NEVER an issue of timing since I had a few months to buy the cheapest airfare (and family to stay with ). I always figured English fans fill the away stands because it’s a quick day trip -- get shitfaced on the train and all that. Now I see how these fixtures get whipsawed here and there, with few or no trains running, and I start to wonder why so many of you bother. If you’re going and in any voice -- good on you.
Dan Posted 18 April 2019 Posted 18 April 2019 We get the absolutely shite TV slots time and time again. When was the last half 5 away?
Walshy5 Posted 18 April 2019 Posted 18 April 2019 Glad I never got tickets now. 2016 Arsenal away situation again!
Fox92 Posted 18 April 2019 Posted 18 April 2019 Absoloute shite. Can't stay 8pm on a Monday surely. It's a bank holiday just knock it back to 5. I didn't buy train tickets yet because, even though I thought Man City would beat Spurs, there was always that chance this'll happen.

These spivs and their broadcast partners rule football

Accepted it's a necessary evil and I have no issue with the original switch. However, they shouldn't have the ability to move a game twice. A rule should be asserted by the FA and the Premier League that gives a latest date that a fixture can be moved. Six weeks seems sensible. My point about Ajax and Eredivisie is that they take into account all the potential factors and they can name dates nine months in advance. For example the Arsenal home game should have been announced as the Sunday noon as that was possible regardless of their success in the Europa League.
