redkev Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 I’m sure if we’re flying high come The Norwich game no one will give a damn really , as one door shuts for one supporter who can’t make it it opens a door for another fan who can , annoying for some a god send for others just the way it is I’m afraid 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 My thoughts on this are that if you’re moving games to a Sunday, and not on police advice/tv, you keep the k/o time at 3pm. Kids youth football kicks off at (typically) 10:30, 12:30 and 14:00. If you do a 3pm k/o then kids involved in the first two still have a fighting chance of getting to the game. A 1:30 k/o means the very early kick offs may get there but not anyone else. In effect, by choosing a 1:30 k/o the club are asking kids to choose between playing and watching. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And anyway, nowadays you know that’s a risk. In Italy the serie A fixtures are all scheduled for a single nominal day and time that weekend with a clear message alongside of ‘date and time to be confirmed’. That then happens 5-6 weeks beforehand (usually when the TV decisions are made, but sometimes incorporating other things too) and the actual times and dates are announced. We’re not far off that at in in PL and Championship now are we? In some ways it might be fairer to do that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 Unless the WSL or Premiership Rugby have asked for that specific date for a fixture, which I don't understand, their fixtures aren't out yet. It's 2nd round of the FA Cup, but obviously that's not been drawn yet. It's annoying moving a game for a "potential' clash. Maybe as Fevs mentioned , we want it moved to give us an extra day after the Wednesday trip to Southampton , and the potential clash was just an excuse ?

Rugby fixtures work differently to football in that clubs get them before being published Oddly they work from the lower leagues upward 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul G Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 It could be because the European cup starts the following weekend and Bristol love a Friday night game at home. Therefore a Sunday fixture wouldn't be kind to them considering the rest period Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are told it has been moved! Anyone remember Burnley chairman Bob Lord, for years he refused to have TV cameras at Turf Moor (no MOTD highlights) ,maybe he had a point ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i was suggesting is the club buy back the seat if you are unable to attend certain games which they can resell for that match like they do at Man utd When i was going through bowel cancer surgery and afterwards Chemotherapy i still had a season ticket but could not attend games it would have been nice to have been able to have got some cash back for the games i missed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are absolutely right, still doesn't stop me having a bit of a moan. I don't like Friday or Sunday games, much prefer Saturdays at 3OClock , sadly they don't consult me so it is what it is. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marmite Posted July 2, 2023 Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 When you buy a s/t you buy it blind. Any fixture could be moved at short notice. It's always been that way and I don't like it but if I want a s/t I have to accept it. I'm an old timer who was brought up on 3pm Saturday and 7.30pm Tuesday, you could even get to skittles and go on anchor in those days cos the game finished before 9.15pm. God help us if we get to the Prem with their ko times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for those of us that still play on Saturdays, Fridays and Sundays are much better. For every person you disappoint, there’s probably someone else who gains. That’s just the way it is, would be much worse if we were on TV more too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted July 17, 2023 Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 Bristol Bears home game v Gloucester is being moved to the Millenium Stadium apparently. My money's on it being 2nd December which would explain them moving the Norwich game to the Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
