As long as you’re not wearing piss-stained joggers or planning to rob the local post office, then you’re alright .

Ticket prices good for us pensioners though (over 60's), for the Man City Semi it was over 65's to qualify.

The only bright light I can add to the usual chaos.

As the league one final kicks off at 1pm on Sunday surely they'll have an afternoon kick off? They'll need to clean up, stock up, scrub the bogs and get all the corporate hospitality organised. If it finishes at 8pm ish doesn't leave much time to organise for following morning.

 

[Rodders]

I cannot imagine police signing off 5:30 when hardly anyone from Sunderland can get home on public transport.

 

[Muttley]

Just have the game at 3.00. Traditional ko time.

Why fix it if it isn't broken.

 

[diode_blade]

Sky have a test match and the F1 Monoco qualifying on earlier that's why as it stands it's in the schedule as a early evening game.

On my epg on virgin it's from 4pm til 8.30pm.


The Scottish fa cup is on premier sports nothing to do with Sky

Don't worry about the test match, it will probably be all over by friday tea time after another england monumental collapse......

And so say all of us
Unfortunately the game isnt for the match going fans anymore, its for the Tv companies and stakeholders
Unbelievable we are 10 days from the final and no one knows the kick off time!

 

[s8_blade]

Surely it has to be announced before tickets go on sale??

 

[Gimli]

Looks like most will have to buy their tickets before knowing when the match will actually kick off…

Farce.

 

[Tickhill Blade]

I wonder if the delay is one the clubs making a stand against the 5.30 time?

Hypothetical I know, but what would happen if one of the teams said 'No, we're not happy as fans won't be able to get home', and refused to play at that time?

 

[Not so Slim ane]

Farce.

Sky score app has the program starting at 12AM ... So looks like they've surprised everyone and gone with a 1am kick off time

That’d actually work out better for the trains oddly enough .

 

[jt64]

Half of this thread is people looking at apps, bookies, TV guides etc and treating default values or pure guesswork as gospel

 

[BalticBlade]

If tickets go on sale at Noon today, surely they've got to announce the kick off time before then?

 

[Tickhill Blade]

That’d actually work out better for the trains oddly enough .

And it might actually be below 100F in the sun at our end

 

[BalticBlade]

My money's on 4pm or 4.30pm

Have it in the middle of the night so both clubs' American investors can watch

 

[Dkc]

From Sunderland forum:

"Just rang the EFL - discussions are ongoing, they don't know when it will be confirmed. Travel logistics and train times for fans travelling from the North are part of the conversation and are being looked at, apparently."

They know which clubs are playing. They know the train times. Surely they have enough info to make a decision now.

Trial run for Superbowl at Wembleh.

 

[Harry's Game]

The EFL make Trump Whitehouse look organised .

Come on Ethel pull your bloody finger out

Hey Joe Pasqaule… I’ll do the jokes …

Sky Sports saying 12am coverage. What fun!

Actually I would love it if a club had the balls to take a stand against it and refuse to play at anytime other than 3pm. Even if it meant forfeiting the game - on second thoughts I maybe wouldn't go that far

So Sky is saying a midnight kick-off, and EFL site still has us TBC but is now saying Friday. Outstanding work
