Everton V Leicester- Grand national day

[MickA]

Will the Leìcester fans be flogging their tickets at cost price as we look to cement the 7th place trophy?

Way too busy for us lid....

 

[Jamo Martinez]

The options are:
At 12.30
Friday night
Sunday
Monday

Deciding factors will be:
The most silly/inconvenient
Messes us about the most
The rs can some how maximise the most benefit from it.

Or complain the most.

Well we used to play on the Friday night.. so maybe that's what they'll do - always better than the old 11 am start which accommodated fans getting to the racecourse before the (2pm) start.

Yeah I remember playing Portsmouth ( I think Alan Ball was their manager) on Grand National Day in 1988.

It was some ridiculously early morning kick off and there was zero atmosphere there.I seem to remember I was still hungover!

I too miss Concorde flying overhead!

...my Aintree tickets have just been delivered, bit of a coincidence.

It will be defo moved to sunday,and wouldnt surprise me if a sunday tv game

infact what was the last game for us or Liverpool to be played at home on grand national day if ever one

To be honest, I hadn't realised neither us nor the RS playing at home on National day was an actual thang.

It must be a new edict, probably at Plod's insistence.

We have often played home games on National day.....usually a 12.30 kick off.

In fact, I seem to recall a derby being played on National day not so long ago.

Can anyone confirm this?

If so, I will include it as a question next time I am making a quiz.

"When were the National and the Derby on the same day"....boom, boom

I've got a feeling you are partially right.

Wasn't the FA cup derby semifinal ( the Andy Carroll one) at Wembley on Grand National day?

Are you the chief Constable?

A lot of insider knowledge being shown

 

[dave abrahams]

...the National is much later these days, probably a 5pm start. I've already had a few quid on one.

What did you back, Eggs, if you don't mind me asking, might have a shilling each way on it myself.

Could have been the one were David Fairclough scored near the end, and Liverpool missed a penalty just after.That was a very early kick off.

...I wouldn't Dave, the perils of ante-post racing is that they tend not to even turn up so don't waste your money. It's a bit of fun for me, I've backed loads for Cheltenham but quite a few aren't running. I'll do 2 or 3 for the National, the one I backed a month or so ago @ 25-1 is called Don Poli.

i was impressed with sizing john against him yesterday and backed him for the gold cup, my only bet for cheltenham so far, like to wait for nrnb.

...sensible. Sizing John was generally available at 33-1 before yesterday's race, I know some who took 50s. Skybet are nrnb all races at Cheltenham now. I have done ok with my ante-posts in recent years, small stakes to big odds. Lots of wasted money but it only takes one to come in. A bit of fun for me.
