I see not much reason for the draw being on the Monday, why was it changed in the first place?

Most people are at work or school on Mondays, Ok the draw is Monday lunchtimes so people could see the draw on there lunchtime, but alot of people lunch finish at 1pm - 1.30pm, so those people won't see the draw! I'm at college tomorrow and my lunch finishes at 1.30pm, having said that if I was at work my lunch finishes at 1pm, but at work I could find out on the radio.

Anyway as you can probably guess from what i've wrote above I think the draw should be back to the Sunday evening!

It should be on Sunday. I won't find out until 3:30 tomorrow now or I'll find out from some stranger in school who'll shout it out when they see my City coat. I like to find out for myself.

Pathetic reason to skive school and if your parents let you off to watch a few balls drawn out of a bag then there just as bad and should face the penalty.

So why did you say you get the afternoon off, when really you get half an hour off?

Oh well, dont want to argue.

Exactly...just another reason to change it back to Sunday evenings :thumbup:

-It encourages school kids to scive :rolleyes: and people to scive off work!

I dont, I just take my iRiver and listen to it at work.

If you have got an iPod it's not much help.

Wheres your radio? Wheres your radio?

-I've got a personal radio though :huh::unsure:

It was originally always on Monday lunchtime until a few years ago (can't remember when) - but they reverted back to Monday to get back to the Fa Cup's traditions.

If people are in lesson or whatever at 1.30pm on monday, sneakily go on your phone and have a look (if youve got GPRS) like I do on 02.

You then know the draw, and you dont get caught!

That is correct Anish, it was always Monday lunch time and only on the radio, when I started work there used to be 300 people crammed into the works canteen listening to the draw for every round whether you were still in it or not, that's how big and traditional it used to be.

Mind you I still think Sunday would be the best.

As someone else in this thread has pointed out it was on a Monday and I remember having to get the Stop Press version of the evening paper to see the draw. :thumbup:;)
