Spades Posted 24 January, 2009 Posted 24 January, 2009 Saints and Norwich are both out of the FA cup so why is the game not being played today? Surely it would make sense at it would save £ on floodlight use, easier for away fans to travel on a saturday than a tuesday night. 3 weeks ago when both team lost in the FA cup surely the game could have been moved to today? Birmingham and Blackpool did it...
Weston Super Saint Posted 24 January, 2009 Posted 24 January, 2009 That would need the Football Club Chairman to do some actual football club related work

Saints67 Posted 24 January, 2009 Posted 24 January, 2009 When Sky move a game people moan. I bet if the Footballl League or the Clubs were to move the game...yes you've guessed it people would moan.
Nexstar Posted 24 January, 2009 Posted 24 January, 2009 Norwich were only knocked out 11 days ago, so for the game to be moved would mean peoples travel arrangements and possible hotel arrangements would be messed up.

Birmingham and Blackpool did it... Norwich drew and were only knocked out on Tues 13 Jan, so the process couldn't have started till the next morning, maybe too short notice for the police etc (but if they'd have won they would have had a game today so that kind of shoots that theory out of the water :confused:) After the draw at Charlton they could have maybe said if they lose the replay, the home game against us would be played today .... not sure how well that would have gone down though, making plans on the assumption of a defeat at home aginst one of the few teams beneath them Anyway we'd have probably said No, so that we would have a blank weekend in which to sack our manager :smt037
