[Albion] Man Utd Fri 4th May and Man City Wed 9th May, Confirmed

[Official Old Man]

A game that could easily be played on a Sunday is moved to a Friday. Why Sky, Why? Do they really have no conscience about making fans travel through the night. Jokes about Utd fans living local accepted.

Shambles - no way I'm going to Manchester and Liverpool in the same week. Guess I'll plump for the Liverpool match and hope that City is indeed televised.

 

[Charlies Shinpad]

Half day off work for the Utd game and a day and a half off for City Away
Self Employed so no wages
Would I miss these games ?
No way as I’ve waited since 83 for these games

Gutted as was using this match as an excuse to get out of something the mrs wants to do. Will get roped in now.

Man United visit West Ham after the Brighton match: 10 May. Not their final away game afterall.

What was the point of getting promoted to the Premier League when they still pick us for Friday and Monday night games?

Saturday night matches next season too.

Friday night matches > all other match times (including 3pm Saturday)

They're one of the things I miss most about not being in the Championship. Monday nights are awful though.

You may feel that way but the majority of people think otherwise.

Sunday games are a nightmare if relying on public transport as so many train lines are closed. Try getting from Bristol to all the games and back in a day.

I only ever speak for myself.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Whichever day the match is played, or any other, will have both winners and losers.

Can't please everybody.

I gave up on trains from Devon etc last season
I just drive up and down now so Brighton’s Beer takings have taken a serious downturn this season

No news on when the City tickets are on sale yet?

Anyone going to stay up for this game and the Liverpool one?

 

[BlockDpete]

Been waiting for the City date to be confirmed. So just booked trains and hotel for the trip.

So a decent midweek away adventure beckons.

Totally agree about Friday evening home games. Great atmosphere and a win sets up a long happy weekend, watching rivals stumble.

It's possible to stay at the Manchester Sports City Travel Lodge for £33 on Wed 9 May.

Advance train tickets to Manchester selling out fast for 9 & 10 May

Travelling in rush hour on a Friday night is horrendous, add in the get away for a bank holiday and that will be absolute chaos! I accept evening games do have better atmosphere’s but unless you can leave work early, most are going to have a total nightmare getting there, especially if your a Red Devil.

Missing the City game as working but staying over near Lime Street Station for Liverpool away. Any tips for decent pubs nearby?
