Someone remind me why we are playing Fulham Friday?

[Philzo-93]

When it's not even on the tele?!

 

[Loftslaces]

When it's not even on the tele?!

Because it makes an alliteration

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

It's just to wind us all up.

 

[Guy Fawkes]

When it's not even on the tele?!

Albion's game against Fulham at the Amex has also been switched, being brought forward to Friday 15th April, as that is the weekend of the Brighton Marathon, with the course under constrution on the Saturday.

[bigcabboy]

so I heard something on at the uni on Saturday but not 100% sure

 

[Beach Seagull]

It's because of the Brighton Marathon.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

No, it's the Marathon.

 

[FamilyGuy]

When it's not even on the tele?!

Surely, so that me and my mates can be at the game?

 

[My Name Is Gully]

I think it is to do with the Marathon - you heard it here first.

 

[Superphil]

So What?

 

[BUTTERBALL]

I was wondering the same. Is the marathon taking place around the Amex now?!!

 

[Milano]

I've run it and unless they've changed the course completely I have no idea why this should effect our game. It goes nowhere near the Amex, the station or Uni.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

I was wondering the same. Is the marathon taking place around the Amex now?!!

Yes, it's rather like the end of the Olympic Marathon, when they run into the stadium at the end, and complete one full circuit before the finish line in front of the West Stand.

Amazed no one knew that to be honest.

 

[portslade seagull]

Poxy marathon they could've changed the dates

 

[Machiavelli]

No, it's the Marathon.

Is it the marathon?

 

[nordicgod]

Nope it's a snickers

 

[Yoda]

Poxy marathon they could've changed the dates

Not really. That date would've been arranged well over a year ago. Next years is 9th April.

 

[Eeyore]

It's because we can't be on television all the time. Other teams have to have a go. But we still have to play our games anyway.

You had me fooled there. I looked up the route.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Shirley the marathon should be on a Sunday?

It's nowt to do with the route, it'll be policing and numbers .... can't support two big events at the same time.
