B-Rizzle Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Understandably our own fans are upset and Notts County fans too. Wrong decision. I'd argue right decision, but wrong time. Fans have been questioning for weeks why we were the only fixture playing on the Saturday! Only having one days rest instead of two would be a massive factor for both us and county's fixtures on Monday. Why on earth has this not been changed weeks ago and why was the game originally scheduled for the Saturday in the first place?! Utter madness! Please tell me the club hadn't only just realised that playing Sat gave the players only one days rest! Most fans have been for ages! Considering it's Easter weekend and people make plans at this time of year, I'd be surprised if there was a single fan that this didn't effect in some way (not just exiles or away fans that have booked train tickets).

I agree, I meant wrong decision to alter it now. Naturally I want to win games and if one extra days rest will make the difference then ok I can see the reasoning. But I honestly think the club doesn't take into account the huge effort many fans have to make to actually attend games; work, child care, transport etc all have to be juggled. Add in the factor of a long weekend for some, but not all, and to move it now won't be easy for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it's been left so late they've made a decision to put the team ahead of fans. Fair enough you might say.

B-Rizzle Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Furthermore, what really pisses me off is the 'reason' for the change. If the clubs statement had referred to policing or other unavoidable reasons for the change then fair enough we've just got to suck it up and get on with it, as inconvenient as that might be. But the reason was to do with the players rest for Monday, something that fans have flagged up weeks and months ago. Such poor planning to only just 'realise' this now and do something about it. You would have thought they might notice that we were the only team in the league playing on the Saturday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Can't make this now either, I'm also coming back from Spain on the Friday and the coach is going straight to Preston so not as if I can even get off somewhere and travel to Bristol. Wouldn't have affected me, but the club really should have said earlier they may be moving it so people held off on travel bookings, I can understand why it's been moved because of the extra day before Stevenage which should be 3 points for us and keep us well clear but it has been poorly handled.

This hasn't exactly been sprung on the club at short notice. Will I get a refund for the value of the match on my ST? Of course not.

Loco Rojo Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Great news that it gives the players an extra 24 hours to recover/prepare for the Monday game but what an absolute joke to give fans just over a weeks notice. How long have the club known about this fixture and they obviously havent considered fans may have made plans on the BH friday. Obviously common sense is on holiday at the moment.

Northern Red Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Isn't it amazing how the club continually manage to shoot themselves in the foot? Having last week received much praise from fans for what appears to be a well-thought out, effective plan for organising ST renewals whilst the AG redevelopment is going on, they then revert to type with this. I'd like to say I'm surprised but I'm really not. I was planning to be there on the Saturday as I'm down visiting family for the weekend, can't go now as I can't get down on Friday. Luckily I haven't bought a ticket yet. I particularly feel sorry for the Notts County fans, though I suspect they're just as angry at their own club.

Whilst it sounds reasonable, I would imagine the club have on the fans charter that was introduced a few years back that they reserve the right to move games and they encourage supporters to take travel insurance and to book flexible tickets. At least I'm guessing it's written somewhere, makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
