Lee Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 We play on Wednesday the 19th for some strange reason. 391039[/snapback] Villa v Birmingham is live on Sky at 12pm on Sunday 16th April, thats why.

PennyDuff Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Around 50 Norwegians have already paid for non-refundable return flights to see the game.... this potential fixture change is extremely disturbing to put it mildly.

Being "Chairman of the Blackburn Rovers Supporters Club Norway" and all, have you tried contacting Rovers and ask about this? If they move the game to friday then there wont be any problems, but it would be very bad if they decide to move it to sunday or later. Edited March 16, 2006 by krislu
philipl Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 (edited) Irish paper claiming a quote from Hughes that it is going to Sunday 16. Too late Phil! Edited March 16, 2006 by den
Ste B Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Moved to Sunday? 391130[/snapback] Oh Great. So any Rovers season ticket holder who may have made arrangements for the rest of the weekend will now lose out. I can see perfectly good reasons as to why the game should never have been played on that date at all, but given all the messing around with the fixtures is it any wonder attendances are down.
krislu Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 And my plane back to Norway is leaving from Manchester at 15:00 on Sunday the 16th..
Ste B Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Simple Kris. Contact the club once the decision has been made, and get them to sort out some form of compensation. Whether or not Liverpool eventually pay it or we get Pongo for nothing instead, is Rovers problem. The game WILL move, of that i'm sure. Hopefully Rovers will announce their intentions quickly, but with Police, SKY and the FA to contend with, I amagine it wont be that simple.
Exiled_Rover Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Villa v Birmingham is live on Sky at 12pm on Sunday 16th April, thats why. 391056[/snapback] Does that mean that moving it to Sunday has lost the club £160k in TV money?
krislu Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 (edited) What we now need is to travel home to Norway on Monday the 17th with another plane company. Edited March 16, 2006 by krislu
AggyBlue Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Not any old sunday, but Easter sunday. Let's hope the club will be offering refunds for those that are holidaying
den Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Not any old sunday, but Easter sunday. Let's hope the club will be offering refunds for those that are holidaying 391140[/snapback] You mean Liverpool, don't you?
Paul Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Wrong decision, just plain bloody wrong. Easter Sunday is a big day in our household, not for any particularly religious reasons on my part, and now thanks to LFC and it's whinging support the day is buggered. We have accomodated LFC and their wishes, the problem is theirs and there is no reason to move again. It looks as though the decision has been made, at Rovers expense, any sympathy I had with Liverpool's support has disappeared. I'd just like to ask the Liverpool support what respect are your actions showing for millions who see Easter Sunday as the climatic day of the religious calendar? The answer is simply none.
SuperStella Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Some other team will be caught up in this cycle next year
adopted scouser Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 It stinks. Incidentally I've been kicked off their board for saying so.
bob fleming Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Some other team will be caught up in this cycle next year 391147[/snapback] Unless of course Liverpool are still in Europe and have a hectic schedule, then it's obviously fine to play on the 15th.
krislu Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 I've heard KO is 2.30pm Sky Sports 1 391153[/snapback] which day?
SAS Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 that would be a sunday game not a saturday oo well, church is more important to me i cant let the preist down
Ste B Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Confirmed on the Liverpool site. Nice to see Rovers consulting their fans though.
