    Yeah, I can't see the change to Saturday affecting the crowd that much. 5pm is possibly a bit awkward for some people but so is 7.45pm Friday for others.

    I still see it being a sell-out.

    It's a balls for the Pats fans who had booked hotels etc. Yeera... whadda ya gonna do!

    Point and laugh I guess



    Id say it'll be a sell out, or close to it anyway. Being on tv usually gets people to turn up anyway. But if they can get compo, who's to stop them?

    I've already said it but I'll say it again City should be trying to encourage TV3 to show more games instead of demanding compo.
    It will not affect the crowd, surely a lot more Pats fans will travel and 5pm isnt a bad time, it won't clash with any Premiershi* matches and it won't impede on peoples night out. I still expect to get as good a crowd as we would have on the friday.

    Simple - we changed the booking for our train and hotel. Independent Saints have a full carraige booked for this one and ain't nuthin gonna keep us away. They could move kick-off to midnight on the Sunday night and we'd still be there. See youse on the 12th.

    Well if the Pats fans act like certain City fans did last January in McDowells, then there will be trouble, but generally Pats fans are okay. Cant ever remember there being any trouble.

    Yeah that was a messy night in McDowells. We'll be well oiled but definitely can't see any body I know being THAT drunk. It should be a great occasion and I'm really looking forward to it

    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    I'll vote for Friday being WAY worse. At least there's a news bulletin, which is of some value presumably, on the Saturday.

    I think TV3 are right to show a Saturday game. A lot of the people who would go to other games would watch the live game so it makes sense to not have it clashing with most of the other games.
    We're not arrogant, we're just better.

    Except that Friday night is City's match night, and TV3 as good as bullied them into the Saturday.

    I agree. If they were to show it at the same time as all the other el games they would lose a huge percentage of their viewers. They are a commercial entity afterall so they have to do what makes economic sense.


    SEJ, what are you on about? "TV3 as good as bullied them into it", that's ridiculous. In most other countries games are moved around to facilitate TV coverage every week so I don't see why we should be different. We want to promote our league and having live tv coverage is the best way to do that, so what if City have to move the game to a Saturday! Don't talk rubbish.

    First of all, I DON'T talk rubbish, and how dare you suggest it. Second, tea-time on a Saturday is about as s***e a time as anyone could have picked. After all, you don't see them doing anything like THAT in England or anywhere else. Lastly, as I've previously said. Friday is City's match night, and I'm not in favour of ANY change for ANY reason from it. If TV3 want to show eL games they can show them at the clubs usual playing time, and bugger whatever s***e they have on their listings!!

    The biggest game in the FA cup quater finals was Arsenal v Chelsea, guess what time twas on at... 5pm Saturday evening. There are numerous occasiions this season when Sky or BBC have shown games live at 5pm on Saturday, so get your facts straight. Games are always moved to facilitate TV, it's not written in stone that City must play all their games on Friday night at 7.45.

    I DON'T talk rubbish
    course ya don't

    Lightbulb Stop moanin'

    As i said above i think all eL games should be on same time & night but live games should be on a different time/day. Its also the standard practice across Europe.

    City are no more being bullied than bohs/shels were to moving their game to a sunday last year.

    Much as people would like it to be but this is not a dublin conspiracy again. City should take the standard live game fee & start helping tv3 to promote the game to its full potential.

    Any remember the bohs fans getting in touch with tv3 before one of their games last year so they could record some flag & crowd scenes 20mins before the game so they could be showed on the match intro? Might be a good idea when gets closer to the game to organise something similar for the cross?

    Can't see what all the fuss is about. Game gets moved, the cross still sells out, we're live on tv and everyone is happy.

    Except SEJ, but then, is he ever?

    (except when egg-chasing and mud eating I'd say)
    Whatever it was I am sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?
