That's me not going.

Understandable from a police point of view could have made New Street very interesting.

I thought this sort of thing was sorted out before the fixtures were published. Isn't the point of pairing teams to avoid this kind of problem?

They thought we wouldn't exist by now

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Probably won't be available on ifollow either? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[Johhny Blue]

I hope you’re wrong for me

 

[Covkid1968#]

Ffs… that’s fooked the only away game I was going to this year.

 

[pusbccfc]

Great news. Love a Friday game, especially local.

When was the last time we had an away game on a Friday evening?

Notts County Play Off Semi Final?

Notts County Play Off Semi Final?

Of course, can only think of Bradford before that, first season after we got relegated from the EPL.
There was a cup tie against Wimbledon away but can't think of any other league games.

Before that I recall we played and won 1-0 (Stuart Pearce penalty) at already relegated Stoke on a Friday night back in May 85 before beating Luton and Everton to stay up. I was one of the few hundred who travelled up more in hope than expectation in a crowd of less than 7,000.

Sure we played Man City away on a Friday night in 93

We had a few Friday nights from Sky in Champ including Derby.

I'm guessing its down to work commitments but how come so many are against a Friday night KO? I'm quite looking forward to it, despite the 100mile dash to make it.

Agreed, of all the alternative weekendish kick off times it's probably the best of the lot. Friday night games at the CBS have usually had a good atmosphere etc. Shame the Manchester train doesn't stop at Smethwick Rolfe St on the way down!

 

[EalingSB]

We beat QPR on a Friday night in September 2020 - McFadz winner. First win back in the Championship I think.

 

[LastGarrison]

I always remember Millwall at Highfield Road on a Friday night the season after we got relegated from the Prem.

Without playing up to stereotypes the amount of lads they brought that night was ridiculous!! Not a woman or Millwall shirt in sight!

I remember listening to that on cwr Stoke got a penalty a few minutes from full-time Ian Painter later to sign for us took it I think it was Rob Gurney commenting which went something like Oggys saved it, no it’s in, it’s not it’s saved, it’s cleared, imagine that a draw we were relegated.

Looks like I'm in the minority but I'm looking forward to it. Friday night on the beers under the lights.

I remember going to Sheffield United on a Friday in 2013 won 2-1 with 2 Leon Clarke goals and a 3-1 defeat at Peterborough 2016

 

[coop]

Traffic will be a nightmare on a Friday night.

Yes we did I was there.Think it was moved to Friday because there was a concert at Maine Road on the Saturday

They were causing mayhem on Sky Blue Way walking to the ground.

Kicked straight off as soon as they got in the Rocket as well.

A guy my brother worked with at the time got his arm broke in the fighting.

Some right lumps with them that night.

 

[SkyB]

Any idea on when tickets come out?

Probably a week or two away from that yet. Still got to get Preston out.

Yep, all dayer on the SBA and we all went to Granada Studios. The Rovers Return was rocking.

One of my favourite ever away days. Wegerle last minute equaliser and scenes outside.

Ahhh Preston. Why are we always so shit there. 7 hour round trip on a Tuesday night last year and our worst performance of the season.

I think Luton away deserves that accolade.

 

[CV22SBA]

I think Luton away deserves that accolade.

Only the last 5 years. In 2017 we beat them 3.0 and I was shitting it in the home end that day. We’ve never won in the league at Preston only a couple of cup wins and that was even 23 years ago.

Fa cup 4th round day that one so may not need to
