GeoTheCiderHead Posted August 26, 2023 Report Share Posted August 26, 2023 Just looking at the fixture list and can’t believe Cardiff City away on Saturday 28th October is still currently a 3:00pm kick off. Surely that will change. If it does, do we have any idea when they’ll announce the change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandhurst Red Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 It's staggering that their home fixture v Swansea is being allowed to kick-off at 7:45pm on a Saturday night and yet, we repeatably have our games with both of them moved to early mornings or a Sunday.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeoTheCiderHead Posted September 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2023 Still the same situation I see. 4 weeks tomorrow until the game and as it stands, still a 3pm kick off. How many weeks notice have they given in the past of a kick off change for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it's going to be 3pm. Or they will wait until I buy a train ticket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 29, 2023 Report Share Posted September 29, 2023 (edited) Looked at the last few seasons..and it was moved at 6 weeks notice and in varied cases sooner. 4 weeks or less would be fairly unprecedented.

Admin phantom Posted September 30, 2023 Admin Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 From comments with the SC&T, from a policing angle they only see Swansea as a problem fixture with Welsh clubs.... Maybe it's time to see if it can return as a normal fixture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's time to see if it can return as a normal fixture? Maybe because of recent antics from the Dolman corner and the away end? Both occasions were Swansea from memory.

Last season, I wasn't in Bristol at the time though, but it was a 430am ko. So for many people it will repeatedly be moved to "early morning" if we want to be pedantic.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted September 30, 2023 Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 Thought on this. The whole Football Bannng Order thing in the season of Euro 2024 in Germany may influence the thinking. As in don't want to risk being caught acting like an idiot or breaching varied rules at the lower end, fighting or similar at the higher end an being banned from Euro 2024! Hence safeish to try it at 3pm on a Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly, they only ever appeared “mob handed” as they say, since the police can bubble them in safely, without it, you won’t see them. Just like Wales away games for the last 30 years, plenty of chances to settle any scores but no, they never showed up. Most of us of have moved on anyway, but they haven’t, which is why you will have issues with them…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's 2+2=5 As mentioned already, it's been recognised for a few years now how this fixture no longer has flashpoints like in the past For once improved fan behaviour has been rewarded 1 hour ago, Barrs Court Red said: Any thoughts on why?

It's a lovely part of Wales, but if you go off to the local towns, they look like they're living in the 1970s still. Sadly economically etc they have been left in the past. This must go a long way to how people from these areas interact with other societies 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
