Games moved for TV... Sunderland, Rotherham

[NorthumberlandBoro]

Boro's home games against Sunderland and Rotherham United have been moved to accomodate the televison cameras.
Sunderland were due to visit on Saturday 3 September, but the game will now take place on Monday 5 September with a 7.45pm kick-off.

Rotherham United are still scheduled to visit the Riverside on Saturday 17 September, but the game will now kick-off at the later time of 7.45pm.

It feels very weird to be playing that late on a Saturday.

Crap KO times them like.

Good news is, no TV for the Blackpool game

Saturday night kickoffs are suddenly ok.
Is nothing sacred?

Bummer, on nights for the Rotherham game, I could have made the game & gone to work straight after the match, now I need to have the shift off

Sunderland from Saturday to Monday but that 7:45pm kickoff will provide for lots of pre-matching

Thanks Sky, now I know how Prince William feels.

Saturday evening is a really crap time for a game, messes everyone's normal plans up massively. A 5ish kick off on Saturday is just about OK but not 7.45.

True, and Sunday early kick off would have been worse

It’s going to be mayhem on Monday night

Should be a cracking atmosphere though.
Hopefully we will offer them the same percentage of capacity tickets as they do to us.

Sunderland and Boro fans. All day drinking before a match.... what could possibly go wrong?

 

[Capybara]

That's four out of our first six home games moved. If you are a season ticket holder and use public transport you are pretty much ****ed.

You said it much better than me L_B

Not just that first derby in what 4 or 5 years do fuelled up bitter mackems as well waiting all that time to dust off their boiler suits and ding those vile songs.

Yep can’t see any issues here

Yup. I've spent the morning booking hotels for Sunderland, Cardiff and Rotherham home games - three evening kick-offs in a row (and almost certainly it'll be four as Birmingham after that is pencilled in for Wednesday 8th October).

Shocking decision on the Sunderland one that's a Sunday Derby time
