dayday Posted 6 February 2014 Posted 6 February 2014 It's Forest balls to them,they reduced the ticket allocation to us last season to get an "advantage" , so we should return the favour by playing on a Tuesday night.
Iwan is a Welshman Posted 6 February 2014 Posted 6 February 2014 I've gotta say I'm confused by all these confident shouts it'll be on the Wednesday. Forest knew they had a 1 in 4 chance of playing at Bramall Lane on the Sunday when they agreed to playing us on the Tuesday. My stab in the dark is that we'd have been happy to leave it until after last night's result, because we know we only needed a couple of days to sell our allocation. Forest, on the other hand, have got twenty odd thousand tickets to sell - and would have wanted more time to do so. That's just my guess, no basis to it. Either way it makes no sense for people to be so confident it's gonna get moved.
MGLCFC Posted 6 February 2014 Posted 6 February 2014 Like I said earlier Forest have 3 matches before they play us, all away on heavy pitches (Blackpool, Huddersfield, Sheff United). If they play us on the Tuesday, this will only give them 48 hours rest. Added to this they've just played 3 games in 7 days (Watford, Yoevil and Preston) I'm hoping that after a 10 day rest after the Watford game on Saturday we could turn them over at the City Ground.
TheLeftSide Posted 6 February 2014 Posted 6 February 2014 Because it was probably agreed on the basis they would be playing on the Saturday against Fulham. If the clubs cannot agree it may get arranged for a different week unless the cup match is moved to the Friday which is very unlikely.

If the clubs cannot agree it may get arranged for a different week unless the cup match is moved to the Friday which is very unlikely. Sorry got to disagree with that. Why would they agree it on that basis? United have knocked out a Prem side already and were the better team at Bramall Lane in the first match. Not to mention Fulham have been piss poor all year. Even if that wasn't the case the clubs didn't need to come out and state a date before yesterday so why would they do so unless they were confident of it happening then? Tens of thousands of pounds rests on when a matchday takes place - they surely wouldn't publicise a revised date unnecessarily unless they were confident of it taking place at that date (and hence it let them commence ticket sales earlier.)
TheLeftSide Posted 6 February 2014 Posted 6 February 2014 Let's see what announcements today brings!!!
Walshy5 Posted 6 February 2014 Posted 6 February 2014 We should definitely do this. I like it. It's Forest balls to them,they reduced the ticket allocation to us last season to get an "advantage" , so we should return the favour by playing on a Tuesday night.
cjslcfc Posted 6 February 2014 Posted 6 February 2014 If they want to move it we should refuse and we have every right to. Would be absolute karma for everything they've done in restricting other teams this season (ie. reduced allocation when they can't sell out themselves) and also in banning/restricting the media. The circus has come to town so let's play their own game right back at them and play hardball with respect to this fixture.
TheLeftSide Posted 6 February 2014 Posted 6 February 2014 Looks like it's up in the air at the moment then, both websites TBC and the @officialfoxes tweet saying Tuesday has been removed!
Iwan is a Welshman Posted 6 February 2014 Posted 6 February 2014 It's a shambles at the moment. Why bother announcing an alternative date? Joke.
TheLeftSide Posted 7 February 2014 Posted 7 February 2014 Wednesday 19th it is then... http://www.lcfc.com/news/article/070214-wednesday-switch-for-forest-trip-1343448.aspx
