This one is a bit complicated as I understand it. Norwich game not selected for TV. Shaks buys airline tickets for a Saturday game and then hopes to be able to get a match ticket when they go on sale. Villa (h) game gets rearranged to the Thursday prior as originally it was a TV game and they want a prime exclusive slot. Norwich (h) now gets bumped to Sunday. It's pants but not sure the club is responsible in any way. As it happens I nearly booked some extra hospitality tickets for friends following the same logic as Shaks and the game being moved would have totally ****ed that up. Fortunately I didn't but that was just luck.
Root cause is exactly the same - it's because of tv that it's being moved. No other reason, so I stand by what I said. It's a principle that they should acknowledge.
If you already have match tickets then I agree. Not sure the club are responsible before tickets go on sale ?
I've actually just realised the tix didn't come first. Thinking cap on, but little hope of getting round that. My option 5 is still a go-er, @Irishshako. Only thing I can think of is that in listing the schedule of games for the season, the club should take the hit. How can they possibly expect people to book tix a couple of weeks before the match without making travelling & subsistence arrangements. If available, the cost would be sky high. If they don't have a legal obligation, then they should be obliged by their duty of care for the supporters.
Maybe all games should have to played at the same time every week, let’s say saturday at 3. Nah that would never work would it?
Shaks is one issue but I wonder how the Norway lads cope? Lets face it we get plane loads in from Ireland, Belfast, Norway, Denmark, Sweden as well as fans from all parts Europe. Surely the club must be xperienced in a dealing with this because its not like fans are chartering planes, they book scheduled flights?
Never was Wakey. It was the Norwich game in March, but that's a non starter now because they changed the day.
Cheers WJ. Aer Lingus will change flights for free and I can pay the difference, so I'm going to change the flights to our last home game against Brighton. I had the hotel booked for that date for months as well. The good thing is that Aer Lingus will be flying to Leeds from April onwards. Thanks for your kind offer, much appreciated.
Best players for Leeds: Rodrigo for the 3rd game on the bounce showing quality Forshaw Klich although should have maybe scored 3 Raphinha besides his goal did nothing Joffy needed the ball but always showed for it and when he got the chance he got a shot off. Save from De Gere and a couple of timely blocks stopped him scoring. Way better than Roberts Had to square peg again when we lost Koch
The game today demonstrates we cannot compete against the top teams with our injury list. We just make arses of ourselves and have a huge 50 goals scored against. Maybe Bielsa needs to accept we cannot carry on against top teams like this so should play a 4-4-2 system based opon defence and strong midfield and try Raphinha and Joffy up top. It cannot get any worse against tope teams and embarrassing now. Before long we will get Phillips back and Bamford and we can revert back to Plan A and can play Plan A against teams we should beat
Forshaw was absolutely gash today Pogba must have thought it was Christmas again and Rodrigo didn’t touch the ball first half. We were lucky his cross was as **** as it was as it caught everyone out.
We only had two missing today mate, Phillips and Bamford, Cooper might edge out Struijk or Llorente on todays performance but you can’t keep going into a season hoping for no injuries. Firpo, Harrison and Rodrigo is spunked money up the wall. James gives it his all but it was a CM we needed.
YEP agree with me and so do most outlets, but thats fair enough Rich, we all see it different mate . Adam Forshaw 8 - As muscular and rugged a performance as any this season. Thundered into tackles. Played a big part in the attempted fightback they also agreed about Rodrigo but blamed Klich for not scoring…
