When was the last time one of our matches clashed with a major sporting event?

[FMBlade1]

First world problems of course, but I am slightly annoyed that our match against Manchester United clashes with the Rugby World Cup Semi-Final between England and South Africa.

Its a bit odd, can anyone remember anything else similar happening? I for one might watch the football whilst listen to the Rugby commentary, though might get confused with the scores

6-0 at half time is possible in either game to be fair!

 

[Billyblade]

I'm more than slightly annoyed that this match now clashes with the gig I bought tickets for, way before the KO time was changed.

Fuck off Sky

 

[Broomhall Blade]

Probably the Grand National.
United always seemed too be at home for years on National day.

Why would anyone tune into a game where the main tactic appears to be booting the ball out high up the pitch and relying on a big throw in to somehow enable the accumulation of points? Still, less about the mighty Blades, what about this rugby match?

Boom-tish!! I’m here all week!

 

[MojoMuffin]

Won tickets through Coral to the Scottish Grand National in Ayr and did the 5 hour drive up there. Brilliant day out. Watched 2nd half of the Wembley game against City in a local pub and won a few quid on Mahrez scoring and Oli to be carded. Paid for the petrol and hotel at least

 

[Davalon]

As a rugby fan I'm not fussed this time as I honestly can't see anything other than a right royal pasting and I'm not a fan of the SA team.

The poison dwarf Faf and the clown director, in particular.

Try watching the cricket !!!!!!

 

[Silent Blade]

Dislike Rugby so I am not bothered about the clash. Will be watching the England v South Africa cricket on Now TV and then go to the Lane

 

[woody_7]

More pee'd off that it clashes with the Secret Affair gig at the Leadmill !

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Aye
Here’s (most of) what we’ll miss although there’s always (dirty) Leeds night afore ?

 

[ekke287]

Blades on the iPad, England rugby on TV.

Yes, I enjoy Sadomasochism.

 

[woody_7]

Always a good show ( I've dj'd with em a few times ) but dirty leeds is out of the question due to work commitments, mind you i might leg it out of the game at the lane if we're getting battered to catch the last half of the show

 

[Carlton Blade]

Champions League matches for those who watch that stuff

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Clashed with cricket a fair bit.

I don't like rugby, too many red trousered rugger buggers around me, so always enjoy when England loses in that sport! No idea how union is more popular than league which is a far better watch imo

 

[Grecian2000]

Since the fucking World Cup started (sometime in spring was it?) I've luckily managed to see sweet FA so not an issue.
Did have tickets for LMT at the O2 but that's gone due to dodgy concrete so no problems this Saturday.

 

[Robby Blade]

Probably the Grand National.

Or Wembley

Aye
Cairns remains underrated & Page is still an abrasive / cantankerous twat (bit heavier than in his heyday mind)

“might” ?
“If” ?!?
Probably better chalking fuck on match altogether & catching Squire n ‘all ?

Aye, why on earth would anyone want to spend Saturday night watching their team get absolutely twatted by a bunch of unlikeable shitehouses?

 

[Cheesebored]

Or Wembley

Wasn't that the false start voided Grand National when we played Wednesday?

 

[BladesOnToast]

Or Wembley

Weren't we at Wembley for the Grand National that never was, the Esher Ness one? Or the one that got cancelled due to IR bomb threat?

 

[BladesOnToast]

Beat me to it by seconds!

 

[Robby Blade]

Yes, was sat in that fucking carpark waiting to get out.

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

Blades v Man U also clashes with a Gardeners World re-run from 4 years ago.
Oh well, there's always Match of the Day...

If we’re considering rugby union as a major sporting event, we probably need to consider clashes with the Eton Wall game, dressage or the boat race.

I remember going to old Trafford in 1991 and that was on the same day England lost rugby world cup final , we also lost at old Trafford, I remember them putting rugby score up on scoreboard

 

[Chief14]

At the Qatar World Cup did we play at the same time as England?

 

[wak1889]

No we played Huddersfield at 3pm England played France at 7:45

Not sure we'll be 6 up at half time tbh.

Fuck off Sky

Not even on Sky is it?

Ignore that, it is.
