Exactly so why is it okay for Palace to play Sunday Tuesday

 

[dockroad]

No consideration of people who will already have booked travel

And no consideration for those of our fans who live outside the city and will struggle to get home , not to mention Arsenal fans.

Indeed.

This won’t be going down well with Arsenal’s travelling fans either.

I mean, if they must move it to the Saturday then forget about televising it live and just kick off at 3 p.m.

It will be a nightmare for Arsenal fans and anybody going south on the trains. I'm pretty sure that the last train out of Lime Street on that Crewe/Birmingham line on a Saturday night is usually 9:30pm.

Any other day it's 11:30pm so presumably they'll put some extra trains on.

 

[Parker]

Must be awful being successful and going deep into these cup competitions ey?

Especially with all the millions theyve spent and calibre of squad theyve put together.

May as well give them one more advantage to go with the ability to nearly guarantee champions league football every season because of their cheque book.

As you might have picked up, this being moved means i cant go and instead ill be surrounded by kopites whove been on the ale for 8 hours moaning about how crap we are and why arent we "doing them a favour". Crap that.

No chance of extra trains so close to the traditional Christmas shutdown , train crews unwilling to work overtime , engineering works etc.

Me being one of those. You hold off on booking a match until it’s confirmed then the Premier League just pees all over you anyway.

Exactly so why is it okay for Palace to play Sunday Tuesday

Palace playing Thursday 18, Saturday 20 and Tuesday 23

 

[marsh]

Palace playing Thursday 18, Saturday 20 and Tuesday 23

[Alan Whittle]

Your league game moved to the saturday aswell then?

Yes. 8.00pm ko.

 

[jinkyali]

Have the January fixture been announced yet.

 

[Benicetoourboys]

Television, UEFA AND now the Sly 6 dictating what dates & times we all play.

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

Yep. it was mentioned a few days ago - force Arsenal to play the sunday and v us the Tuesday as we surely win then
Palace also play in Euro game the Thursday, Sunday in the league and that cup game the Tuesday - so they've less time than Arsenal

Very similar to us playing Benfica away on the Thursday, Bolton away the Sunday and Spurs away the Tuesday in 2009 think it was

And we just had to suck it up instead of bleating on about the congestion and it was in October so it made no sense.

Clubs wouldn't want that. There's extra money involved for televising games

All clubs are happy to have games on at any time. They get the tv money and are happy to oblige then
