About as good as it could have been with the derby on Tuesday night. Hopefully Everton get Sunday at 4pm

 

EDIT: No, Everton play at 5.30pm on Saturday evening

Hope it's Burton

[charlie clown]

Thats a fair old trek for such an early kick-off

[Maldini]

Someone put on twitter earlier that if it's Bournemouth the only train that'll get you there on time is the 05.24

Any idea what channel?

[Candystore]

It's on ITV1

[Tommy Cockles]

Burton holds 7k & Bournemouth 12k both will be tight for tickets.

 

Hoping for Bournemouth myself, much nicer day out

Not for the fans who have to get there

Pretty much, journey takes over 5hrs with 2-3 changes to boot... Train system down here is beyond crap.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

not like the footy governing bodies to not think about the fans when making decisions

When some of our fans aren't even bothered about the match going support. how can you expect the FA to care?

Get down the night before and stay in a cozy B&B. I recall doing that many years ago

That's the civilised thing to do. Always look to be kipping overnight for the perfect away.

i knew trains in the uk were bad, but if that takes 5 hours you might as well walk

You'd just about make it getting the 0645 to Euston ... far from a great kick-off time but who gives a f*** about matchgoers any more? Who ever did? The clubs don't, they're more interested schmoozing their "official partners" in the Far East ... and the FA never gave a f***.

To be fair, I think we're all pretty self involved about this stuff.

 

I want it to be Bournemouth as I have more chance of getting a ticket.

[Tommy Cockles]

'course if they draw it'll be off and then midweek.

 

Which might be better, or worse.

A draw and subsequent postponement would be very helpful considering we have the derby on the Tuesday night

I'm wary of postponements. That's what happened with Burnley!

[Murphman]

I stayed at The Menzies on Bournemouth sea front before Chrimbo, it's a 4 star and cost about £55* for a great room,. It's winter and Bournemouth is a summer resort, it's empty and you can stay overnight for peanuts.
