Match Day Thread Bristol City v Hull City

It was moved in June 5 days after the fixtures came out.

 

Midweeker might be on red button?

 

Seems strange they were both changed just 5 days after the fixtures came out.

 

Yeah, well you know, this being your mate...

 

According to their message board, the consensus is that it was moved purely to have more time between this fixture and the Boxing Day game.

 

So why was our home fixture against them moved?

 

Wasnt it an earlier kickoff to facilitate travelling fans or something?

*nope. It was to avoid a fixture clash with FC.

Both Bristol fixtures were moved as long ago as June.

 

Hull FC had a home game on the Saturday.

 

A Friday night kick off doesn’t facilitate things for fans of City and Bristol travelling to each other games?

 

No, I was getting mixed up.

 

Yes, they have priority at end of their season as we have at end of ours. The change of their home game being done just 5 days after the fixtures came out seems a tad quick though.

 

They've obviously just come to an agreement between clubs over both fixtures back then.

Don't think there'd be many going whether it was Fri or Sat tbh.

 

As I said in my OP, I was only going by what their message board was saying.

Yep, agree.

Plus it gives us a bit more prep time before the game on Boxing Day.

That was the reason the club gave when they announced it.”

 

I’m going. Better fun than Christmas.

 

Im gutted its Friday night....Bristol is one of my favourite away games....stay over as its a good night out is Bristol....maybe next season!!!!!?

 

I do like Bristol. No other major city quite like it.

 

Only if they go up, or a cup game.

 

Not on tv or red button but on Tigers+

 

Or ifollow.

 

To help with travel before Christmas was the explanation I believe.
