Fixture change

Just to tell you lads that due to our FA cup replay being played on Easter Monday, our match at your place is now on the Saturday 30th with a 3pm kick off. Will be my second time to your ground this season after the 3rd round in the cup. All the best against Liverpool

 

Well that's fine.

 

Interesting reaction from Saints:


The Club is extremely disappointed that this decision has been taken, not least because of the significant inconvenience a second change to the fixture will cause our supporters.

 

Try being us with thousands of fixtures! Had too many games moved. Don't even know when Fulham away is going to be yet! Was meant to be last Sunday but we had the cup...

 

Oh yeah, our home game against you disappeared from the calender for ages after the CWC, I was beginning to think they had forgotten about it. Good job we didn't draw that FA Cup tie or we would have had to play a cup-league double header . At least it's only the day before and not some midweek in a different month, probably not great if you have paid for travel, accomo etc (both sets of fans).

 

One of our forum crowd here is going to be really upset as he is flying in for the weekend, and has tickets for the old fixture date.

 

This really confused me because I hadn't realised it was previously moved. I still had it on the original date

 

I knew in my head it was on Sunday, but still Saturday on my calendar. Crossed it off...went and put it back in. Sky money gone now, I suppose....any chance Chelsea could play a second string

 

Just found out our fixture with you has been changed.

Absolutely revolting elitism from the FA. It's not our fault and I'm sorry it it messes up your season in any way.

Vile organisation

 

I'm sure they will rest a few, not that that will significantly weaken them sadly!

 

Who are they to care about trivial things like fans arrangements.

Hate the FA with a passion ... their handling of our fine against other worthy fines is simply ludicrous.

 

Do you work for Sky? I'm not too fussed with the fixture change to be honest.

 

On the plus side, I can go now

Wouldn't have made the Sunday game due to Work.

 

Same here! Just bought my ticket. I suspect it will sell out quickly now its not on TV.

 

Our potential fixture schedule:

Southampton away - 30th March
Man United home - 1st April
Europa League - 4th April
Sunderland home - 7th April

Bloomin heck!

 

Send your u18s to us...we'll be nice...promise

 

At least you'll beat Sunderland eh?

 

I'm flying over early on the Saturday so will still make it....Delighted!Nearly worked out a very expensive present for nothing!

 

Hard luck on Saturday workers who booked tickets because it was on Sunday. However, there are still tickets available, so some may gain as travelling is better on a Saturday than on a Suny. There will be winners and losers.
