Notts County away
 

Fixture at Meadow Lane switched from Saturday 26th to the previous night due to Nottingham Forest having their game v Leeds that weekend televised.
Can't really understand how this affects our game against County but obviously we have to bow to what Sky dictates :rolleyes:

Easy on the train on a Saturday. Now I'll have to investigate Friday night trains!

Re: Notts County away
 

Its a policing issue, cant have both Nottingham teams playing at home on the same day

Re: Notts County away
 

Surely if the games on sky it would be a lunch time kick off so do not see it affecting us

Re: Notts County away
 

No but they would have to pay police overtime no doubt.

Re: Notts County away
 

But it begs the question why are both teams scheduled to play at home on the same day? They more than likely weren't until Sky stepped in - chicken & the egg situation :rolleyes:

Re: Notts County away
 

Sky runs football unfortunately.:( plus Government runs police pay.

Re: Notts County away
 

Dont see why they didnt just reverse the fixtures rather than mess about changing to a Friday night.

Re: Notts County away
 

Possibly Forest would be at home then? They are i just looked,

Re: Notts County away
 

Top idea !!

Good Friday away to Mansfield

Easter Monday away to Notts

I'm sure the lads and club would enjoy 3 nights away in a hotel with a £15k plus cost

I'll have a word tomorrow:rolleyes:

Re: Notts County away
 

Oh well football Friday, Hooters saturday

Re: Notts County away
 

Make them camp, a "team Bonding exercise"

Re: Notts County away
 

could have made a comment here once upon a time but the PC brigade will have my season ticket burnt at the stake and be sent to luton as punishment. julian clary for manager.

Re: Notts County away
 

Ooh, you are awful! :rolleyes:

Re: Notts County away
 

Aye you do that pal

Err why would that be ?

Theyre both 2 hour bus journeys and as Notts Forrest are the ones causing the problem in the first case let them move their fixture on Easter Monday

Re: Notts County away
 

What planet are yeh on? Sky not Forest have dictated the change, also they would both Forest @ County be at home if they switched.

Re: Notts County away
 

So why do Stanley pay about £400 per hotel room? How big is the travelling party?

That is absolutely disgusting, no way I am going ahead with the player sponsorship now if they are burning money like that.

You can't blame Sky for the change, they should never have been on the same day in the first place on this occasion. Unless the EFL assumed sky would want it for a Friday night game, which they shouldn't have.

Re: Notts County away
 

All;

ASFC don't have never has wasted money especially on overnight travel.

Whilst do we look after the players to ensure we have the best possible chance of winning on the Saturday afternoon.:)

Re: Notts County away
 

I'm not sure about disgusting, but it's or more daft than making up your own numbers? Where did £400 come if you don't even know how many in the party?

Re: Notts County away
 

£400 a night rooms!

whats wrong with a £29 travelodge ?
