Kodjias Wrist Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 Be interesting to see the turnout for this one given the current state of things. I wouldn't mind going if it meant I could see Semenyo, Palmer, Szmodics etc get a run out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another "initiative" from the FA so they can pat themselves on the back whilst actually doing nothing. Kicking off 1 minute late to promote mental well-being amongst football fans.

Guest Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 Yes: The Football Association has today announced that all Emirates FA Cup third round ties will be delayed by one minute to encourage fans to ‘Take A Minute’ to think about looking after their mental health, as part of the Heads Up campaign. The move will see all 32 ties, excluding replays, kick off one minute later than their traditionally scheduled broadcast and non-broadcast timeslots, for example 3.01pm, 12.16pm and 7.46pm. It is hoped that the initiative will raise awareness of the importance of looking after our mental health, with 60 seconds representing just the first step in the journey to improved wellbeing. During the minute delay, fans will be encouraged to consider the positive impact 60 seconds can have on their own wellbeing or in supporting a friend or family member.

Not helped by the kick off time or the dreadful run of form. Also the pricing structure could have been more appealing, although I'm aware that Shrewsbury had input on this due to FA rules.

Boycott because of being mid table in the championship? Didn't Ipswich do something similar.....how are they getting on? Give him till the end of the season then review it.

wendyredredrobin Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 We 3 agreed to decide whether to buy tickets for the Shrewsbury game after seeing how we played against Brentford. You can guess what our decision was. I checked our block of the Dolman and only a handful of tickets in it had been sold. Even worse, LJ will probably play a second string 11 which will be worse than watching the first 11 on Wednesday. I reckon a very poor gate and Shrewsbury very likely to turn us over as they are a pretty decent team. May change our minds perhaps if Nketiah signs in time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 Oh for the good old days - City 11 - 0 win against Chichester in the 1960 FA Cup. I was only 11 years old and didn’t go. I’m hoping time machines will be invented soon so that I can go back and watch John Atyeo score 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numero Uno Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 I have a friend going abroad to work for a couple of years and have decided to attend their all day leaving do from the start rather than turning up at about 3pm miserable as sin!!! Not gloating about staying away and not really a boycott of the game by any stretch but not gutted about missing it either..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
