wayne allisons tongues Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 1 hour ago, hodge said: Personal choice of staff you'd think, if we had Wednesday/Saturday we'd need a recovery day tomorrow with little training and then straight into a pre match day on Friday, moving the game to Sunday allows a day of pure rest in there as well. That’s fair enough but why only the one match, why not the rest arranged Wednesday Saturday been moved. Have one in 5 weeks time away to WBA and home to Huddersfield so why hasn’t Huddersfield been moved. Just doesn’t make sense to move random games and use rest excuse when you don’t move the rest.

Which it isn't according to that link and clicking on Championship fixtures (if they were). Oops, sorry, somehow misread an entire thread and thought we were talking about tonight's game.

Greedo Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 Wigan game will not be on Sky red button as they are not allowed to show games that have been rearranged from Saturday 3pm. Rearranged games still come under the blackout (unless they are rearranged after being selected for normal broadcast e.g. Cardiff away on SS Main Event) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By rights our away games away at Boro and Millwall should have been allowed to be shown last season but weren`t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because other teams aren’t doing, doesn’t alter the fact that it does give us an extra days recovery time. I’m not questioning whether it’s more recovery time; obviously it is. I’m questioning why they have moved this game for that reason when the same scenario has occurred countless times historically for our club and all others, without being moved. I would also add that I don’t think it’s sufficient grounds to move a game away from the traditional Saturday slot which is generally favoured by a large majority of fans.

We have a manager who is all about the extra 1%s- right down to measuring the length of grass at other stadia. That extra 1% from a days longer rest is an advantage over the teams playing on Saturday. If we were playing Saturday then West Brom, Cardiff, Swansea etc all would have had a days more recovery than us going into the weekend. It also give us the rest time usual from a midweek game, as they are normally Tuesday nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 Obviously Wigan wanted it as well and we agreed. Not fair otherwise that they’d play 3 in 6 days and we’d feel the same in their position. Up to the fans to create an atmosphere no matter what day of the week it is.

We've both played on the same day a few times in recent years, so it's not set in stone that somebody has to swap. I wouldn't imagine that Wigan will require a large police presence. Post Eastville years, if both teams were drawn at home in the FA Cup, Rovers had to swap to the Sunday as there was a market held at Ashton Gate. Sunday matches often get a good attendance because it enables local amateur footballers to get to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As @JulieH has mentioned several times it`s assessed on a game-by-game basis so if we were playing Wigan or Barnsley and you Rochdale say then both could be played at the same time. I did hear somewhere though that A&S were sometimes worried about fans clashing in town after games but I don`t know if that`s ever happened.
