surely we can say no to Friday night.  I'll be pissed off if our players are expected to work all week, travel and then put a full 90 minutes in on Friday night.  That just stinks in my opinion.

[Mrs Warbouys]

I'll bang on and on about this, I know so many people who couldn't do the Friday night, it would put Altrincham at a complete disadvantage, both on the pitch,off the pitch and financially, we've worked f**king hard and travelled miles and miles in this cup already this season, we should be afforded the best possible chance to progress and our supporters the best possible chance to see the fixture.

Agreed mate. Friday night would be an absolute nightmare! Surely the club have some sort of say in the matter though? Surely we can't be forced to play on the Friday night if Sunday is also an option?

[markecky]

Some of our players go out on Fridays so that won't happen  (it's just a joke..just a joke)

No way it will be Friday IMO, there is not one reason why we would agree to that and we would have to agree to it.

I think it's unacceptable that a Football League club cannot provide their own stewards or I am on my own on this

First its delays on the M25 now this!

[taxi Phil]

Surely they can bring in different stewards for one match ? In the wider context it isn't a massive expense.

I thought this... but seemed too sensible a suggestion

IF we were at home I think theyd expect us to do it...

My feelings precisely!

They need to sort their sh*t out and get this game played on the Saturday.

In theory yes, but I'm sure they can make a decent case to say they do indeed provide their own stewards...but not when Derby are at home!

I'm sure this won't be a Friday fixture really - our board and management aren't daft and we're not going to be pushed about by Burton Albion.  I am sure a reasonable way around this will be found that doesn't involve Friday night with the onus on BAFC to get stewards in.

If we are asked to agree to play on the Friday I hope we will simply say no. Sunday is really the only realistic choice if the game cannot be played on the Saturday.

[RocketDan]

Pretty sure they will play it on the Sunday.

I was looking forward to a home tie or visiting a new ground, that said I do like the fact that Burton serve faggots.

Only when Vics are in town though....

Back in March 2007 we were to go to Burton on a Saturday. But this was moved to Friday to avoid a clash with Derby. Ironically TV then chose Derby v Colchester as their Friday night game. Our game still went ahead on the Friday. So this does at least prove that Derby and Burton can play at home on the same day.
If they have to move the match, then Sunday please!
