He has just had his second leg amputated, due to diabetes as well as a pub lifestyle. Bucket went round at the match on Saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orly 277 Posted March 5, 2019 On main page now - seems this might have been a mistake. Fail to see how any fans could be expected to get from norfolk to wigan for midday on a sunday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll pass that onto my old Club. Tommy the Tin Miner, bless his heart, that'll be a struggle for the big fella. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Surfer 1,547 Posted March 5, 2019 I wonder if clubs have an appeal process, there are a lot of Norwich games being televised on Sky now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,722 Posted March 6, 2019 Looks like i can have a Sunday morning lay in as this appears still to be a Saturday game having looked on both Sky and the club site a couple of minutes ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woodman 92 Posted March 6, 2019 Isn't there some suggestion that the original posting is wrong and that our game will now be a 5.30 k.o on the Saturday and the Leeds v Sheff Wed will move to lunchtime on the Sunday? Or is that wishful thinking? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,638 Posted March 6, 2019 If there’s 5:30 Saturday and Noon Sunday slots to fill, it really doesn’t take a genius to work out which game should be played when. If we are on Sunday that is utterly ridiculous Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted March 6, 2019 Yes I imagine the needs of travelling fans will be weighed up against which suits Sky’s scheduling needs better. And then completely ignored. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,638 Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) The fact that it was ‘sort of’ announced and then pulled does maybe suggest that representations were made. Edited March 6, 2019 by Branston Pickle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daz Sparks 1,151 Posted March 6, 2019 Meh, if it is a noon Sunday kick off, a 6:00 am start will be sufficient. Start earlier than that quite often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't think we'd have taken 5000 at our risk. Wigan aren't going to sell too many home tickets so it's not as though they need the space.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just been confirmed the club are offering cut-price tickets too. £7.50 for adults/£2.50 for under-18s. Maybe we can use some of the TV money to fund the discount FFS Sky!!
