Lord Horn 0 Posted September 3, 2012 Pencilled in for Tuesday 25th September - I assume prices and details announced once they have been agreed between the two Clubs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gorlestongirl 0 Posted September 3, 2012 I read something about it possibly being on Wednesday 26th. Our game with NUFC on the previous weekend may be moved to Sunday, because they are playing in Europa League on the Thursday. So I''m leaving both evenings free until we hear for certain.

Stig 0 Posted September 3, 2012 Well, the calendar on my wall says Wednesday 26th, but it says that for the Scunthorpe game as well (Wednesday). I think it would probably be the Wednesday... I hope we find out soon so I can make myself free if it is the tuesday... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,325 Posted September 4, 2012 It is ridiculous that we presumably can;t decide the date because we are still waiting for a decision on when the newcastle game will be played. How are any fans supposed to plan their travel/accomodation when newcastle have still not made a decision with not much more than 2 weeks until the game. This should not be allowed and Mcnally or someone needs to step in and force the issue. We will end up with hardly any fans at St James''s which will just give them more of a home advantage.

Wonder why it is taking so long to agree the kick off time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e10_yellow 0 Posted September 4, 2012 Thanks for the update Jim. They''ve rescheduled their game against West Ham in November to the Sunday at 3pm so I don''t see why ours wouldn''t be the same given neither are on TV. (Though I also don''t see why they can confirm a game for November and not one for September, unless it''s us dragging our heels?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 4, 2012 Didn''t we have a situation with Stoke last season where they wanted a later Sunday kick-off but we insisted on it being early? Could be a similar thing going on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Juler 155 Posted September 4, 2012 I''ve been chatting with Tim Allman who posts on here and he believe it could easily be Newcastle want 4pm, City are requesting an earlier k/o citing distance for fans to travel etc., so now it''s gone to the Premier League for them to make the decision.

Tim Allman 1 Posted September 4, 2012 Just a theory about the time change as Newcastle played Villa at home last weekend and it was 4.00pm and they also had a Europa League match on Thursday. The Capital Canaries have had e-mails from Matt quite some time ago about the Newcastle game, warning us about buying advance tickets and then more emails asking us if we wanted to go to the game so he could buy a block of the cheapest available advance tickets for the trip as soon as the kick off time /date was announced. Meanwhile we’ve heard nothing and the chances are that the prices of a train ticket will be getting more expensive, and Matt’s unpaid job gets a great deal more complicated. As a comparison have a look here http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/matchday/matches/2012-2013/epl.tv-radio.html/southampton-vs-norwich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Google Bot 3,298 Posted September 5, 2012 Confused the hell out of me when i went online and saw that there''s very few tickets left... I had to double check i wasn''t on the West Ham match.After reading the link here, i just realised that the season ticket holders seats are reserved for a week.Think i''ll give it a week to get a nice view.So pleased it''s reduced prices again.
