Notts County have a televised match on the Tuesday evening following so they won't have wanted to play on the Sunday.

Not sure why the get to dictate really, if Sunday works for us because they can't do 3pm, then we should crack on.

I don't really know how these things work but the truth is that we can do Saturday evening in terms of our playing schedule whereas they can't really do Sunday.

I do think it would have helped if we'd put something in our announcement of the new kick-off time to the effect of 'we know this is going to be tricky for our fans but we had no choice and here's why'.

I think my reply wasnt practical, more a comment on the unfairness. Bit like choosing which end to attack and choosing who kicks off.

If they couldn't do 3pm, we'd be doing them a favour, we should really (in an ideal world) get the Saturday lunch, night, Sunday or Friday.

(this is my monthly reminder that I'd love to hear more from Rob and Phil combined on footballing World, just how these things pan out BTS)

Wouldn't that match get postponed if the match ends in a draw with the replay being on the Tuesday/Wednesday?

There are no replays at this stage of the competition.

If the teams are level after 90 minutes, the game goes straight to a penalty shoot-out in order to determine the winner.

Play them at midnight on Christmas Eve for me. Turn up, knock them out of the competition and then have the discussion about when kick off should have been.

P.S could the club put on discounted coach travel for fans that don’t drive and would miss the last train home?

That's exactly what they're looking to do. A good move.

That presumably notts county’s tv money will be contributing to…….

I imagine the old ‘Can I just get the coach back please’ routine might be popular for a few people.

Both clubs probably have stewards who work for both good earner if they do

Does anyone know how many tickets we have bought and has the 2nd coach been filled?

I feel that we are going to look like a rather forlorn lot tucked away in a corner of what appears to be a large stand that will be otherwise empty.
