Serbia ko time

The FAI state that the ko of the home game v Serbia will be 7.30pm on 24 May. Find it hard to believe that it will stay so, as it clashes with Eurovision, in Serbia. :eek:

With that in mind, I wonder if RTS* will ask the FAI to bring forward the ko to an afternoon time, as unlike here, the Eurovision is a big event in Serbia, especially as they are hosting it, and if the two events clash, most of their viewers will choose the song contest over the match.

*= Assuming RTS will be showing the game live.

It's being shown on Sky, who are showing the Heineken Cup Final that afternoon, so to avoid a schedule conflict, and (more importantly) maximise the viewing figures, I reckon it'll be on at 7:30

Thought something along those lines as well, if it is on Sky what time does the heinken cup finish at ? maybe a 5.00 KO for Serbia game to avoid eurovision. If it was at 5.00 would get the Calcutta express there and back, but any later we have to arrange a lift down but more importantly back. Prefer to train it down TBH

Cant imagine too many serb or irish fans being bothered abut a footie game clashing with 3 hours of euro-tripe eurovision drivel.
ill probably tape dustins effort and erm the voting as well. ;)
