Moved to Tuesday 7th April with a 19.45 kick off.

Do we expect this to ease the demand for tickets or are overnight queues ala Oxford 2012 inevitable? Depends how close it is at the top I guess.

For real?  :eek: :pint: :pint:

Edit. On otib, must be true.

Fantastic news.

Lovely.

The 'welcome to hell' banners and flares being chucked at our players in the inferno of ashton gate will look so much better under lights.

I may be being sarcastic.

It's shit. Great if you want to watch football on the telly, fucking crap if you were planning on going but can't do Tuesday nights.

Indeed...

Superb news.

How do you know you would get a ticket? Our allocation is only 1100 so if all ST holders were to apply (unlikely I know) there is no guarantee you would have got a ticket.

To be fair Paul with a crap allocation you might not have been able to go.

a) See above
b) I hate matches being pissed about with for the sake of telly. Especially fucking Sky.

Hmmphh. Stop trying to be reasonable. I'm cross now and I'm going to sulk in my room and play my music loud.

Normally yes, but this has a slight advantage....day longer to recover from Sat v Dongs and shouldn't because of reduced capacity, many who would have gone can still see game.

We play Dongs on Easter Friday.

Actually Paul, maybe Rich will lend you his season ticket and he could watch it in his local  :)

Thank fuck. Glad I can still get to watch this as I was too scared to set foot in the intimidating cauldron of noise that is Ashton Gate.

:D

Agreed, would have been good on a monday afternoon but as per cant make a tues evening

What are you guys doing on Tuesday evenings  :sherlock:

Even better then...

I don't think I'd be able to watch this down any of my local pubs.

Be bad enough watching with your missus ;)

From Sky's point of view it would have made more sense to show the Franchise game, City probably won't be caught

I'm sure they will show this at the Winners lounge won't they?

I took my mate from Mansfield Saturday. Told him the city game was a likely candidate for TV. That's two games he's seen with me. away v Blades Cpl of seasons ago when we lost 2-0 and Saturday. He's banned from future games this season should an opportunity arise.

She's fine with that sort of business, helped by the fact that Town haven't lost to City throughout our 11 years together. This stat will have to change eventually and I'm beginning to feel that I haven't made the most of this.

I'm not sure how entertaining the game will be, two tired sides.

I gotta bad feeling about this.

I will be in Ireland....I will now select my hotel carefully!

In an way I'm happy as we wouldn't of had enough tickets.

Yeah right, bet you are just saying this as you are running scared of the cauldron atmosphere at Ashton Gate  (can a cauldron have any 3sides) and gives excuse not to go - I've heard they are proper nawty down that way ;D

Main reason it's shit is that we tend to play woefully the majority of times when we are on the telly!

Like Coventry, you mean?

The old 'shit on the telly' myth, only took two pages.

Well hope it's a Coventry type performance rather than Notts County

Eh? We won 3-0 away at Coventry and Notts County.

I believe the reference is to a match televised over 10 years ago.

Get the fuck in, great news.

 We've a mixed bag of results on TV games....about what you'd expect really.

Ah, I see.

Shit.....I was living in Crawley then....just split from missus....that match was supposed to be a highlight..salt in wounds.

Agreed.

Not. Fucking shit. I was all lined up to do my best to get a ticket and go to this.

Now I will be in a fucking aeroplane on my way to Norway so won't even be able to watch it  :badmood:

Bollocks. I even have to agree with Paul  :suicide:

"Does anyone know any live feeds where I can watch the game from my seat"

My favourite quote from otib.

Not quite sure what to make of it.  :sherlock:

When we were at home on Sky, the bloke in front of me watched the entire game on skygo on his mobile, he never looked up from his phone to watch the actual game in front of him, was very odd. I understand recording it and watching a penalty claim or something back later at home, but to sit in your seat and watch the game on a phone?! Makes no sense to me.

Maybe he pulled a sicky and was making sure he wasn't on TV whilst in the crowd..

 As the away team don't we get something like £30K....welcome money, might be able to pay for a couple of hours with the legal people...

especially if you live in kent,really pissed off about this

If you don't like Kent, why don't you move?

I was planning on trying to get a ticket for this when it was scheduled for Easter Monday. I'm still going to try, but at least if I'm unsuccessful I'll be able to see the game in the pub. With only 1000 odd tickets being made available for the game, surely it's better for the majority of fans that it's televised? It may be frustrating for a minority, but tough shit.

They stole the wheels off his caravan.

Love you too Steve  :smugfu:

Nail on head.

Franchise game moved to Saturday 4th and also on Sky.
