John D Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 According to official MK Dons site B*stards - bought my ticket yesterday based on original date and can't make new one Bloody television
saints_is_the_south Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 Bought my ticket yesterday too, assume they will be valid for the new date.
sambosa75 Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 Thought it was a little strange to have 3 weeks between the two legs. Great news for me.
S-Clarke Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 It's not even been moved because it will be on TV. it's been moved ''incase'' there is a chance it will be chosen for TV The second leg of the Dons' Johnstone's Paint Trophy area final against Southampton at St Mary's Stadium has been brought forward a week to Tuesday 9th February, kick-off 7.45pm. The game had been scheduled to take place on Tuesday 16th February, but dates have been adjusted in order to fit potential television schedules should the game be selected for live coverage.
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 OH FFS!! ****s, well, that is me not going then. I'm just going to buy a ticket anyway so that I can def get one for the final...
fareham saint phil Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 Hey hey, thats a birthday treat for me then, fantastic!!!

saintpat Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 Interesting that they can announce this quickly, however they seem incapable of arranging tickets for away fans for the 1st leg!!
Thedelldays Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan there is my 2 pence worth

Reib80 Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 Does anyone know if restricted General sale will still be on the 18th Jan? Or has this moved too? Would have been easier if I was a season ticket holder but work commitments says otherwise!
VectisSaint Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 Does anyone else find it incredibly difficult to find ticket news for upcoming matches on the OS these days? You would have thought it would be one of the easiest links to find, but I'm buggered if I can find it now. Anyone help? At least its clear on the MK Dons site

chocco boxo Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 Whatever Saints do not **** this great chance up?

(not talking to myself, just letting others know!)

andybeal Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 What a farce - 4 of us going from Nottingham - i've booked 4 hotel rooms on a no refund basis through Expedia for 16 Feb - will the club reimburse me????

The game had been scheduled to take place on Tuesday 16th February, but dates have been adjusted in order to fit potential television schedules should the game be selected for live coverage. I would be inclined to think that another reason for the rearrangement is that we want the 16th Feb free in case we have to play a 5th Round replay, or to rearrange a League game. At the moment we only have Tues 2nd Feb and Tues 16th Feb free before March, and there's already Swindon to rearrange from Jan 23rd. If we draw in the FA Cup against Ipswich the free 2nd Feb date will be used for the replay, and should we get past them into 5th Round we will have to reschedule Hartlepool from Feb 13, and also have Wycombe booked on the 23rd Feb which is when a 5th round replay would usually happen. If we beat MK over 2 legs we'll also have to rearrange Oldham at home (scehduled for the weekend of the JPT Final), which we could slot in on March 2nd if we move the 2nd leg forwards, but if the 2nd leg was on the original date it would be too short notice to do that. Probably worth someone starting a thread on our fixture congestion ruining our season now... :wink:

Can I suggest you write to the club immediately with full details and perhaps enclosing photoscopies of your booking details. This will be a very good test of the club's fan friendly nature under the new regime - which to date has not shown through one iota. As much as Lowe was hated, when it came to getting refunds on STs etc. he put his money where his mouth was if any fan was not happy. This is not quite the same, but the club may possibly give you free seats for the game if not hotel costs. Good luck and let me know how you got on.

Saint_clark Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 Tosspots, had already booked off the 16th. Who ever heard of moving a game "incase it gets picked for TV"?

Email them, say you dont want a refund but a change of date for the same hotel, if it is the same price they might do it for you.
skintsaint Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 ah crap i was hoping to make this game when i land in the UK...no chance now Looks like im going to the Walsall game instead.
eurosaint Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 Quote Sure i read on OS that it is a 7PM Kick Off It does say that on the 'latest news' section but if you look at the fixtures list is says 7.45pm - a bit amateurish, it has to be said !!
Ewell Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 I do not get back from Vegas until Tuesday 10th so I am gutted about this. ****ing Sky!
Yate Saint Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 7pm Kick off is not very helpful for people who have to travel a bit further. Surely if Sky want to show it then we move it not move it just in case!!!
VectisSaint Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 7pm kick-off is a joke, some of us have to work and then travel. Changing the date was not a problem but time is silly.

It's not even on Sky though, that's the thing. They have moved it "in case it gets picked for TV". So basically, whoever made this decision made it with Sky in mind rather than the fans. On that note, who WOULD have made this decision?

My thoughts exactly! And if there is weather like this evening or an accident, the M3 will be a nightmare. No time for a beer and I'll be lucky to make KO!!
Evil Monkey Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 The re-scheduling of this fixture has zero effect on my ability to attend. See you there people.
Hedgehog Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 Bollux to this, don't they know people have to work and getting to a 7pm kick off is very difficult to do. Why change the game just in case it might be on telly! Proves yet again with the ticket fiasco from saturdays FA cup and not opening up the Kingsland etc. and now this, that they don't give a t*ss about the fans.

You would have thought it would be one of the easiest links to find, but I'm buggered if I can find it now. Anyone help? At least its clear on the MK Dons site I must agree - Ticket news should be one of the clearest and easiest things to find on a football club website, yet it's now more difficult than on the old official site, probably nothing to do with the club, all to do with the new design, which is the same on many other official club sites. I find it particularly difficult finding away ticket details, they seem to be all over the place. As a fan who predominantly goes to away games, and is involved in the ordering/distribution of tickets for the Northern Saints it would help me greatly if they could have one section of the site purely for away tickets news, as it is I have to look all over the place.
benjii Posted 5 January, 2010 Posted 5 January, 2010 The website is ****e. I think we can all agree on that.

Last time the JPT tickets were in a sub-menu in My Account (Cup match renewals), but the link there to JPT final does nothing. The away tickets should appear at Midnight tonight.

Bought a Norwich one on-line and it was in the normal list. Probably will only appear there once they go on gen sale.

Tac-tics Posted 6 January, 2010 Posted 6 January, 2010 any idea if the club put on any coaches? thinking of heading up there with me old mucka.

This is David Luker's response to my complaint about my lost expenditure on hotel rooms for the 16th Feb "Thanks Andy If I may, I will respond on Nicola’s behalf. The rescheduling of this fixture is actually out of our hands. We have NO SAY in this whatsoever. We only ever get a say in the kick-off time. However, if TV coverage is involved, this is then out of our hands also The fixture has been moved by The Football League. If you’re in agreement, I will forward your email to them for them to respond to you directly? Best wishes David David Luker Head of Sales Southampton Football Club"
