RedM Posted August 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 I just looked, the original fixture had already been changed from 3pm to noon on the Saturday on Police advice, and now moved for Sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LC_ Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 ffs another Friday game. And there was the concern that if we ever made it to the promised land we'd lose 3pm kick offs in the Prem. Old bill are going to love a couple 1000 Cardiff fans running around the city centre pissed up after the game too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But looking at the fixtures we are away to Sunderland on Sat 28th, away to Fulham the following Tuesday 31st, and now have to play Friday too. Who agreed to this!!!

Ohbasso Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 I know a lot of people don't like them but I love a Friday night game, I wouldn't want every home game to be on a Friday but a handful a season suits me fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's the money, and the squad will fly to Sunderland but we could have done without Fulham midweek for sure. Cardiff are at home to Millwall and Ipswich for the corresponding fixtures before they visit us just for comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing happened with Villa although it was only the cup that was affected. Millwall - Watford - Villa in six days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 When I saw the headline I thought "Sky? Excellent! Maybe it will be the 5.30pm game?" Games at that time, sort of under the floodlights, derbies can be pretty good. Sure they allow it with West Midlands derbies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I got yo say I too like night matches for atmosphere, escpecially against a team like Cardiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
