Barnsley game to move to Sunday?

[Eastleigh Northstander]

Stuff the cricket! Keep it Saturday for me

 

[The Merry Prankster]

I like to move it move it, I like to move it move it, I like to move it move it, he likes to, move it!

Very much, in my opinion, this.

barnsley was a sunday last season if my memory serves me right, made travel for away fans awkward.

Correct and was the biggest turnout of Albion supporters all season - Sundays are the new Saturdays.

Move the cricket......

Liverpool away was on a Sunday and we still took 6,000

 

[Barn Door Billy]

Move an Albion match because of some CRICKET!? Foooook off!!

 

[Simon Morgan]

Yes please. Mate getting married on the Saturday.

The club just tweeted to confirm that the game will NOT be moved and will go ahead as planned at 3pm on the Saturday

 

[leigull]

Don't think the club were ever going to consider moving it, despite what the OP said/hoped

 

[Statto]

Have we ever moved a game to accommodate the Cricket!

Yup. When we (Sussex I mean) made the 50 over C&G final in 2006 Albion were supposed to play Crewe Alex on the saturday (the day of the cricket) but they moved the footie to the Sunday. I went to both.

Not expecting it to be moved, but it wouldnt be a total shock to me if it was.

Could understand if the cricket was being played in London but guess it wouldn't change many peoples minds about going all the way to Cardiff if the Barnsley game was moved to the Sunday, have seen fans complain in the past with the lack of Sat 3pm games at home, so moving this one would have been a tad annoying.

Grown up football or the kiddie version of cricket................?

Never was going to be a contest was it?

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Yes please to move. Wedding Present day festival on the Saturday in Brighton.

 

[Shanker45]

Good.....not enough games at 3pm on a Saturday these days and yes I am an old git!

 

[Ernest]

How can anyone seriously think that they would move the game and upset 25k supporters for a noddy game of cricket ?

Thank fu-ck for that:guitar:

If we were at the withers and no doubt playing some noddy side who bring about 150 fans (im looking at you carlisle, hartlepool, colchester etc) and arseing around at the bottom end of L1 then it would have been moved no question.

But not now.

However it does beg the question why "finals day" is at the start of the footy season every year and a month gap between qtr final and finals day.
