That means we can't watch the Utd v Everton game in the club first

That's a real shame as I reckon we would have got a better crowd if it had been a 3pm kickoff. There's absolutely no chance of any United fans attending now and the incentive of getting people in the bar to watch the match beforehand is no longer relevant. Really don't understand why United have insisted on this.

This is terrible news..there will be about 350 there now and so getting leathered 5 - 0 for little financial gain seems stupid.

Everton v United not on Sky, its Chelsea Arsenal Sky Game 12.45.

Not really the point, point is that there'll be less United fans there.

Very very odd.

It is on VIASAT ...which the club has.

Stupid decision by United this.

I think that we should remember here that Manchester United, reigning Premier League Champions have offered to send a side down to play us.

I'm sure that there are literally hundreds of Clubs who would give their figurative right arms to get an offer like this.

We had no game on Saturday and hence would have recieved no income whatsoever.

Even if only 350 people turn up (which incidentally I doubt) for a 1pm Kick off it will still be 350 more admission fees than we would have recieved otherwise

I am of the opinion that a prolonged trg session between themselves would have been more beneficial that playing a Utd XI but I also see the point from a financial point of view

Everton v United is a 12.00 kick off. So you could watch the first half in the club. So a few United fans may turn up
