[Paul Cain's Chip Pan]

3pm kickoff

[VofD]

Told you.

[Paul Cain's Chip Pan]

I'm really not happy about this, because I now won't be able to go.

Evidently there is only one company in that part of the country that can steward at football matches. I'm sorry, but it's a completely bollocks reason for a game to have to be moved.

[markecky]

I can see why they do it from a business point of view but I am surprised the football league allow or accomodate it.

Doesn't matter much to me but I'm annoyed that it might mean others miss out.

Told you.

Visionary stuff from the former Hamilton Academical FC ballboy!

But then again, others might benefit from the change.

I reckon there will be more people who miss out than those who benefit from it.

Sunday is ok for me, just glad it aint Friday.

[joe]

Anything but Friday! They play again on Tuesday in the league so may rest a couple depending on how they prioritise and how seriously they take 'little non league Altrincham'

[bighairedmike]

Playing on Sunday is a weird one. It will benefit some more than others and people will always use the argument that it will be more of a hindrance than a help.

Personally playing on the Sunday means I can get to the game and also means I don't have to lose out on a days work on the Saturday.

I know it's a slightly different situation but we got a big boost in our crowd when we played Oxford Utd at home on a Sunday a few years back.

I do agree however that it's a disgrace that a league club can't sort out their own stewarding arrangements. I would say it surprises me that the FA allow it, however nothing surprises me with the FA anymore.

[Jenga]

An extra days rest for the players from the weeks work as a painter, gardener, builder whatever.

[robininstockport]

Depending on time of draw we may well be in hat  for next round !

[markecky]

Now I have slept on it and considered what it could have been, I have warmed to it a bit.

I think they will underestimate us, stick two in reevsie as our only threat and the others will have space to create.

[Bob]

I feel sorry for those who now can't make it, and its crazy that a football league club has to switch fixture dates as they don't have their own stewards.

But, it gives us an extra day to recover after playing Guiseley; Burton have a trip to Plymouth two days later, and there will be some Alty fans who might now be able to come.

Not perfect but it could have been the Friday...

[PukkaPieman]

Will this also mean that we may miss out on the TV highlight money 7K I think?
