CaptnCanary 0 Posted April 1, 2011 Starting 12 April we have a run of 5 games with not a single one being played on a Saturday. Is this some sort of record? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harry 0 Posted April 1, 2011 After tomorrow we haven''t got another Saturday 3pm kick off for the rest of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 0 Posted April 1, 2011 Hard to swallow for a trad like me who used to turn up every other Saturday at twoish after a pint or two nearby.Tea and a piss at half-time. Then listen to Sports Report in the car at 5pm. I prefer it now though. I see far more football (TV.) It is at a variety of levels, from International to League 1, and if it doesn''t entertain I can switch to the cricket, the golf or the rugby (Sky.) As an exile, I see much more of City (on TV) than I have a right, considering my one or two visits to CR per season hardly contribute to the Club''s coffers by very much. There are after all far more exiles like me than the admirable 25, 000 who turn up at the Carra on a regular basis. Think of us my friends. Times change. I can live with it. What is so sacrisant about 3pm on a Saturday after all? We have much more choice these days. The World of communication has changed. Why should football stand still?

Howson is now! 0 Posted April 1, 2011 I was actually thinking about this earlier Broad as I''ve always very much loved the "Every other Saturday" attitude. However, over the years, I''ve actually come to like the variation more. It can be exciting sat there at work on a Friday thinking "Aw brilliant, got a game tonight." It does become a pain for the hardy fans that follow us home and away but I''ve grown to enjoy the variation in fixtures. As you say, it also benefits all you guys and gals that have flown the nest when they''re rescheduled for TV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sideshow Tim 110 Posted April 1, 2011 I''d get used to it if we''re promoted. The whole of the Premier League revolves around TV scheduling and we won''t kick off many times at 3pm on a Saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce Eats Walkers! 0 Posted April 1, 2011 Having just bought a Fireblade i''m not particularly worried about this, Saturday afternoons for the bike and still getting to Carrow Road seems win win for me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
