'Hull City's titanic battle with Yorkshire rivals Leeds United at Elland Road on Easter Monday April 1st has been picked for television broadcast by Sky Sports. The derby had originally been scheduled to kick off at 3pm but has been pushed back five hours and will now start at 8pm in front of the cameras in West Yorkshire.'
I thought potential flash point games were played early so less time in the pub to get drunk. Thinking about it more maybe the idea is get them in the pub all day and half the night so they end up fast asleep sat in a chair in a quiet corner of the pub.
If you bring something forward you're bringing it closer to the present are you not? If you push something back you're delaying it.
I see your point and it's probably moot but to me it just sounds wrong, We put clocks forward in the spring, to a later time.
Yes because in that context you're talking about a static concept of time and the clocks are going 'forward' in time, it's not relative to us. It'd be quite strange to say you're bringing a game forward and playing it a day later, for instance.
Well, when push comes to shove ... Back in the day, pre internet day, this question would see a phone call to Hull Central Library on their information line. I always had an image in my head of them sat there with the Encyclopedia Brittanica in front of them. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Yes I remember that clip of him walking across the bridge to the stadium. Absolutely terrifying. After you had stopped laughing.
