I appreciate that I could be being really stupid here but I have read it three times but cant see what the issue is?

How can the Man U draw affect when we play spuds

[ABBEY]

stooopid isnt it

[gumboots]

To suit Sky by the look of it as they have an agreement to show the Villa Man U game which needs to be played earlier to accomodate a Tuesday game for Man U in the champions league. As Spurs and us have nothing else to worry about then we get moved to fit in the big team coverage and to heck with fans having to travel the length of the country and back on a Sunday (not that it affects most of us in terms of travelling but it might in terms of having agreed to work or made other plans)

[ABBEY]

thats whats gnarled me gum...already got plans and its a pain in arse to redo.

If this happens I can go to Aintree for the National.

All Hail Sky TV, ruler of football.

[BRFCBOY]

does this mean the game will move now ???

[Ozz]

The dates have not yet been decided.

[nissefar]

From manutd.com: "The Reds will play the first leg at Old Trafford on Tuesday 7 April".

I guess that means that the Spuds game will be moved.

Gutted if it does - im at a Christening on the sunday and cant get out of it.

Rovers have sent a press release confirming that the Spurs game will be played on Saturday 11th April:

"Further to previous correspondence please note that our home fixture

against Tottenham Hotspur will remain on Saturday 4 April 2009, kick off

12.45pm - Live on SKY SPORTS."

Just for the record, this post could confuse people.

[Exiled_Rover]

Thought it was a 3:00pm kick-off? I'm in trouble if it's not.

Just for the record, this post could confuse people.

How's that? Or am I just confused by it??

Sky clearly show the televised game to be SATURDAY 4th APRIL with a 12.45 kick off

[92er]

Sky clearly show the televised game to be SATURDAY 4th APRIL with a 12.45 kick off

So do Tottenham and MU show their league game as taking place the next day. I guess it could all change!

[John Howarth]

That web site also shows that they are televising Manchester United v. Aston Villa at the same time. The schedule shown on Sky TV shows correctly the game on Saturday 4th April

Rovers Have Confirmed The Date On Official Website

Damn.

[ABBEY]

Allardyce on his way to Dubai tonight, cause of the international break. Not sure if the uncapped players in our squad will be joining him too or not, but I doubt it.
