Sunderland game

Just checking flights for S'land game 3rd March 3 o'clock Saturday 59e return bargain but I reckon match will change either to 12.45 on Sat or 12.45 on Sunday which doesn't bother me either way but my worse fear would be if match was to be switched to Monday night,is that likely to happen or do the Police dictate this fixture?

 

Police always have a big say in derby games.

 

thats quality flying in to watch the mags beat the mackems ,toon toon black and white army ,i reckon be a 12.45 less time for lads to get steamboated before kickoff

 

Mick I'd try and get to the toon the night before. It'll be much less of a rush then.

 

No way will it be moved to a Monday night.

Police don't want everyone to be drinking all day and then go to the game.

My guess would be :

Saturday 12.45 or Sunday 1.30.

 

Coming over for it 5 Goals or will you already be here then?

 

Would love to as I've never been to a derby before!

But I'll have to wait and see , might ask for a few tickets for my birthday

 

I would doubt it will be a monday,early ko sunday most probably. Saying that the next old firm is a 8pm ko on wed 28th December so you never know, let the carnage commence.

I am in the same predicament but with trains

 

Thanks lads,my best bet would be to travel Friday and come back Sunday also down for that weekend scousers v arsenal and spuds v manure and yes I didn't make same mistake as last season it's not a FA cup weekend

 

Must be a cup game , going to be a very busy night for the police.

 

No,first league game of the season. The SFA and the police are clueless though. Almost every fan will be off for xmas so will have been pissed for a good 3 days before hand,nevermind just the day of the game. Craxy Crazy decision. My mate asked if I wanted to go, I value my life too much!!!

 

Not wanting to make a 'lots of Scots are unemployed' joke, but would a weeknight night game really be a boozefest? I hardly ever have a drink before a Weds night game, usually rushing to drive up after work and need to be back for Thursday morning.

Edit: Oops, Christmas

 

I will have you know we are ahead of the uk in recovering from unemployment through the recession.

In all seriousness though, sickies would be pulled and holidays taken for an all day sesh before the old firm game!!

 

cannot wait for this game ,better than xmas and we have two a season ,might aswell make the most as scumderland maybe playing middlesboro next season ha ha

 

I hope not, would be an easy 6 points down the drain

 

true my friend ha ha the mackems are ****te

 

I'm bumping this,I'm checking if anyone has heard if any change of ko/day of match. I'm on Ryan air site now and I can get return flights for 43.81e flying out on Friday and returning Sunday morning,a steal even if match is changed.I checked with BBC,Newcastle Utd and sky tv matches and as of today game still going ahead at 3 sat afternoon.Cheers for any help
