FreshOwl Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) 4 minutes ago, areNOTwhatTHEYseem said: Quite a few people seem to care what day the game is. For those fans who live outside Sheffield or work late on a week night, this has now made attending arguably our biggest home game of the season far more difficult. Yes, they can watch on TV, but it's not the same as attending the match. The day we start to believe that watching on TV is as good as watching alongside our fellow fans in the stadium is the day football really will have lost its soul. Yeah I appreciate what you’re saying, each to their own I suppose For me I go to the game to watch the players, not particularly bothered about what the atmospheres like Plus a far better view from your TV then the bottom of the kop Edited January 3, 2019 by FreshOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet you are. It doesn't sound like much fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanharper Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I don't care when it is, just as long as it's not on the Friday night. Got tickets to see Bryan Adams on the Friday for the Mrs' Christmas present and since I realised that it's derby weekend and I haven't missed a home game for 24 years I've been terrified that they're going to create a very awkward clash (there's no way I'm missing the match!). Monday is poo though, surely an early KO on the Saturday or Sunday is the sensible option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plonk Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Bloody lunacy. Geoffrey will be out on the lash all day. I’m going to use the penistone road turnstiles that night. Can see him now in his stone island jacket and Burberry cap, arms outstretched singing “ come and have a go if you think you’re hard enough” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football has sold itself to the devil. Still be a sell out. Awful day, have we ever won on a Monday on SKY! Seem to recall that thrashing at Newcastle was a Monday.

Nape Dog Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I might have missed it, but where does it say the game has been moved? The Wednesday site and Sky site both still have it shown as the 2nd at 3pm..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxing_day Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Is this confirmed? How many Monday night championship games do sky have? Don’t they normally show prem games on the MNF? Seems a bloody strange choice if true? The process for this as I understand it is sky tell the club, and make the police aware. The police can agree or disagree. Then it’s confirmed. So what’s the source? If the police have confirmed and agreed then I guess leave would be cancelled and people will know..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each to their own as you say, but I'd much rather be at the game than watching it on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southportdc Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 The thing to do here is take Monday off, have 72 hours uninterrupted drinking before the game, and show SYP why it's a bad idea so they never allow it again. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickyTrev Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 This has all started from one rumour on twitter, nothing more. Talking of the match though it's my hope that it is bought forward to the Friday night. A packed out Hillsborough under the lights is a very special atmosphere and if the team set off on the front foot I could see a similar atmosphere to the Brighton match. 99% percent of the pigs players won't have experienced such a great atmosphere having spent large parts of their careers in the lower leagues.
