[Albion] Palace (h) moved to Friday 14th January

[Weststander]

Anyone here know why the obsession in moving us to Saturday evening Amex games?

I much prefer 3pm KO’s, then get home and have a nice long evening.

A lazy, cocktail rich afternoon in Brighton on a Friday with Palace fans having a 'Spoons cream tea in West Street, what's not to like?

I meant tomorrow’s fixture.

Regarding the Pikey’s, I’d love it if the West Street pubs turned down their entry. Stay out of our great city until the match.

I may be in the minority here but Friday night is probably my third best k/o time after 3pm Sat or 5.30 Sat. Assuming the bars will be home only after and the one way / special train is still a thing then it means an early get away and just crack on with the weekend if the worst result should happen or no work / school the next day if there's cause to stay late. Plus a great excuse to knock off early that day. POETS and all that.

My second best

That's a mid-day kickoff here so a perfect excuse for a half day and to head down the pub

Will we actually get another 3pm home Saturday this season?

Top sides will always be in demand for live tv .

Is that a euphemism?

Another day off work and getting in at 2.00am

Look if you go out on the lash after that's your lookout.*


I'm aware you probably have a long journey

Probably something to do with the fact the TV companies just have to roll into town and plug in.

I'd have thought it's a bit of a logistical nightmare for all the lesser clubs than inhabit that time slot.
I can't imagine the set up being so simple at plays like Turf Moor, Selhurst, Vicarage Lane et al.

We are the BT Sport pick, which is usually the 12.30 game.
Sky normally have the 5.30ko.
They chose the Manchester Derby, on Police advice in conjunction with the clubs they decided to move that game to 12.30.
So we get 5.30 again.

Excellent ... that means I can also go to Worthing v Leatherhead on the Saturday

And I'll be at Bognor v Horsham.
Happy days!

Why would broadcasters have any issues at Smellhurst?

Can anyone recall when a game against Palace wasn't televised

So much better than it being on a Monday night.

At their place, only 2 years ago - Knocky's winner. And year before, Glenn's last minute missed equaliser. Both 3pm Saturdays.

Knocky goal was at a lunchtime kickoff wasn’t it? Sure it was a TV game.

The 3-2 defeat the season before at theirs was the last Saturday 3pm game I can remember.

You surely haven't forgot Selhurst's new 'Plug and play' brand spanking new Super Stand?
