Never to the dark side

Blackpool v Preston Saturday 22nd October,will kick-off at the earlier time of 12.30pm Preston v Blackpool Saturday 1st April( NOT easter saturday) will also kick off at 12:30pm T

Maybe the our BBC points west didn't help when it spells England as engand Not to mention Clevedon when it should have read Cleveland

Nice spot Now time to get those record tokens out.(Ask your grand parents)

But do most teams in the 3rd and 4th tiers travel the day before?

Mansfield against Walsall moved to a 1pm kick off time on October 15th, a round trip of 112 miles

as we play Pays de Galles in just over two months time. If you can't afford Sky/BT etc (like me) its on S4C

A very kind thought,but I think there would be others better deserving than me. Thanks again.

I try to be, but some others don't see it that way, and THEY do know who THEY are.

Thanks for that,I think I was always watching the local news at the time.

no probs

If your going to watch the news item its available on i-player for TWENTY FOURS ONLY Don't shoot the messenger

item on BBC points west before 18:55pm on tuesday

These England games on Friday evening and Monday evening is it done on purpose? If you have had a long day at work(monday),do you really want to travel to London for an uninspiring match even if you have got match day tickets Considering its also LIVE on Channel 4. Why can't these games be Thursday/Sunday(3pm?) or Saturday(3pm?)/Tuesday

I thought that was a very strange time to show the Middlsesbrough v Rotherham game at 19:45pm on a saturday night It turns out that each Championship club is allowed to have at least two home games broadcast on Sky per season. One in the first half of the season and one in the second half of the season. It seems that Sky could not fit in a Home game for Rotherham before the turn of the year. So Sky picked the Boro v Rotherham game,which would benefit Rotherham more as they will get the away game payment which is worth more than the home teams payment

I would much prefer those long trips(Norwich excepted) as you will have three hours of daylight to get back home,and I use the trains.

from the west midlands last season reffed our 2-1 loss at Boro our home 1-0 win over stoke where joe Allan get sent off in the 90th minute and the 2-1 home win over reading with his tally for last season of 36 games 145 yellows and two reds
