[Albion] What crappy time & date will the Newcastle cup game be moved to? [Sun. 2nd March 1:45pm]

[Eeyore]

I heard it will be today.
Fact.

Yes, I've only just read that.

And the disinfected dispersal route for away fans is no distance at all at Newcastle meaning you’re in amongst the home fans in no time at all, having a good chat about how the game went.

The in-yer-face dog's abuse they were giving all our supporters on our way out of the stadium after the 4-1 defeat changed my mind about their fan base. The police and stewards were there and took absolutely no action to calm the twats down. Could easily have kicked off big time. The fact you have to endure that every time on leaving the ground is another reason it's a crap draw.

The football gods have different rules for fans inside the stadium. You’re allowed to be as verbally aggressive as you want, knowing full well that you’d never be allowed to get near each other. Witness various social media videos of dogs on leads trying to tear each others throats out until they’re let off their leads when they revert to bottom-sniffing.

Had a completely different experience with them this season, when we won, quite sporting compared to most we encounter.

Still a crap draw though.

There was a silver fox the other side of the stewards at Old Trafford recently going absolutely bats***. Must have been late 50s. Stood up and swore for fully five minutes at one of our lot without ever repeating himself. Quite impressive really.

Today at 5pm

 

[Is it PotG?]

Today at 5pm

No chance of getting there by then

 

[Official Old Man]

Will the new Amex fanzone be open for this game? No, I know it's away and no replays, but what an opening event, a beam back showing it live (it'll be on TV so not really a beam back).
Bound to be on in one of the lounges. What are the rules regarding advertising the game for fans at the club over selling away tickets?

I know Bournemouth v Wolves isn't a great tie, but to televise 7/8 games is a bit mad isn't it? They've shown all 8 previously - seems a bit mean if anything

 

[Hotchilidog]

I suppose that is about as good as we could have expected. Due to a gig commitment I'll be watching at home, which in fairness is about the same distance from the pitch as those in the ground.

 

[Official Old Man]

So, what is so bad about Bournemouth v Wolves that no one wants to show it on TV, or have they kept the best game for world viewing?
Forest playing again after the draw (if draw Monday 7:00)
Looks like they've finally taken the fans into consideration.
ps thetrainline has a train back by midnight from Newcastle at £107 single

 

[SouthSaxon]

Presumably the suits at Lancashire and Met Police headquarters have insisted that Preston v Burnley and Palace v Millwall be scheduled early to reduce pre-match drinkies.

If it had been , say, Preston v Millwall, that would’ve been a sure fire 3pm.

It does appear that way doesn't it, as well as having the smallest stadium in the round, so only 11,500 fans of either team will be able to get a ticket.
Swap Wolves with the Albion and I'm sure many would feel disgruntled.

Yeah, I'm not quite sure why people said that - it was obviously going to be nonsense. Personally, I'd have liked a Fri or Mon KO as I have no intention of travelling. 1.45 on Sunday is the absolute worst time for me as I shall be pitch-side for our rugby match

Exactly. I think it's quite funny that the PL and FA have pushed this intense comms messaging around illegal streaming and then when they get the opportunity to put it on the tele, they say "nah, we'll make it unavailable for UK viewers".

It's being broadcast in every other country, why wouldn't you just stick it on the red button at a slightly different time?
