Cardiff game rearranged for Tues 24th Jan, 7.45pm.
- Thread starter shaolinpunk
- Start date
I'm a fan and I'm happy with the choice. Gives us the best chance of having rested players, getting points, and getting promoted. Nice one Barber

There's only one culprit for this inconvenience (or 2 if you count the fog), and it definitely isn't the club or PB specifically.
Trying to reschedule a football match with a myriad of factors to consider in an already congested period is difficult enough, let alone factoring the cluster**** that is our current rail 'service'.
Just make sure to vent your frustrations in the right direction.

Way too much common sense applied in this post
Seems like there's still a few people desperate to take a dig at Barber and co.
This date is the best compromise, albeit a pain in the ass for many, but there will be park and ride options and without doubt the club will be putting a lot of effort into getting as many people to the ground as possible via alternative measures. I wouldn't be at all surprised if something could be negotiated to delay/postpone the strike anyway - maybe wishful thinking.
It allows us an extra days rest over Cardiff, and a long break assuming we play a 2nd string again at Lincoln/Ipswich. The only other option really was the 31st (Cardiff already have a fixture), or the 17th/18th January which would mean 3 games in 6 days.
Good decision from the club.

Whats wrong with Wednesdays, am I missing something there? Games never seem to get scheduled for Wednesdays
Glenn Murray's daughter has brownies on Wednesdays so after collecting her, he'd only be able to get there for half time.

Pre attendance may not be the lowest but I'm near certain the actual attendance will be.
I thought it would be the date too. Are you suggesting I don't feed my kids. I have to work. This will be the lowest actual attendance at the Amex for ages & I suspect the atmosphere and cash flow will suffer.

Why are you blaming him? Or is it that you feel he's responsible for weather conditions, ASLEF strikes, Trump being elected, and Sammy Lee joining Palace?
You said you booked it because of the strike, despite thinking it would be the date. Seems odd.
Cash flow? Have you had a private message from Tony saying he's struggling a bit at the moment? We want points. Points, points, and more points. Everything else is secondary right now.
This. Chris Hughton would have wanted this date, as it is clearly the most advantageous available. To compromise for any reason would have been a kick in the teeth for him and the team.
What can you not understand? I am working in North West London that week. I cannot get there on time from home due to the train strike. Therefore I'm staying up.
And I'm talking about the clubs cash flow. They're losing hundreds of thousands thanks to the train strike. The combined Cardiff games will be the worst of the season for bottom line

I'm normally a Southeastern train user at London Bridge for 5 ish as work close by. Would I be right in thinking I need to make my way over to Blackfriars for Thames link?
