TA .. RUINS A GOOD W/E OF CLUB FOOTIE WHICH NORMALLY HAS A BIG SAY
ON PROMOTION AND RELEGATION ISSUES

 

[pasty]

Hadn't noticed that. Excellent news - this means I can have my Easter ski trip without missing any matches

 

[Easy 10]

Thats a bit wanky.

Isn't it.

 

[Marc]

actually thats bloody marvelous, means the Beer festival at the Red Lion in Shoreham wont be ruined by fights again.........I mean a footy match to go to!

 

[ditchy]

good point pasty ..time too book the ski trip !!

 

[Albion Rob]

Bit of a double edged sword. On the plus side I had a massive row with Albion Girlfriend last year when I did the weekend in Blackpool and then promptly went straight to Rushden on the Monday, but on the other hand the Easter games generate bumper crowds, not that it makes any odds to us as we will be selling out week in week out again.

 

[Robot Chicken]

We're one of the big clubs now, innit. On the same level as West Ham, Sunderland and Leeds.

More importantly;

England v Azerbaijan - Wednesday 30th March

When Sven's army will be marching towards the invasion of Germany in 2006.

Friday 25th? What's that all about?

Friday 25th? What's that all about?

Good Friday, I guess. Does seem a bit odd. Playing Northern Ireland on Good Friday is a bit odd, major religious festival, maybe the thinking is none of their fans will travel due to more traditional commitments that go on at that time of year in the province.

 

[Albion Rob]

I could understand if it was a regular Banbk Holiday and peopl didn't get the Friday off, but staging it on Good Friday will make no odds, everyone will be off anyway. Ho hum, at least we get an extra day's rest.

 

[Marc]

gah wait a minute the beer festival WILL be ruined...by England matches.....gah they better have a big screen up

 

[Easy 10]

How can a beer festival be RUINED by an England match ?

PUB + BEER FESTIVAL + ENGLAND = FECKIN' EXCELLENT NIGHT

Mind you, my night at the Cricks last time ended up

PUB + BEER + ENGLAND + ZIDANE = (BEER GLASS + WALL) = STORMING OUT IN A SAVAGE RAGE

 

[Marc]

Not sure if the festival will have a big screen or an TV with the games on...that would mean wandering into shoreham town to find a pub (plenty) but missing out on the ales for 90mins.....90MINUTES lost festival time x2 for both matches!

 

[Sonic The Hedgehog]

Friday 25th? What's that all about?

Says 26th on the FA website.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Says 26th on the FA website.

Fair enough the Englandfans one had it on the Friday, but as the FA generally cannot tell their arse from their elbows, it does not surprise me.

 

[perth seagull]

Feck Sepp Blatter for pushing us around with his international fixtures and spoiling a traditional weekend of real footie.
