Might not be a surprise but a football match at noon on a Sunday is still absolutely pathetic

Not a surprise that either game has been moved.

The only sensible option for this match (particularly without the usual 'bubble')

Probably for the best as long people don't start drinking on the Saturday.

No trains that weekend either on the Burnley / Blackburn lines

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Fri Sep 23, 2022 1:19 pm

Thing is, and I know its sensible, but I now have to choose between watching my lad play football or going to the derby

Its a bit **** really

I thought the Saturday was the cut off point for games to be played before the WC

It's annoying but expected, I have the same dilemma. The Sheff United one is more disappointing. Probably the best away day in the league and a useless 12:30 kick off, spoils the day a bit.

Lunch time KOs are ****. That’s the whole day taken up, particularly if you don’t live nearby.

Rovers game time change mucks it up for us the other side of the world. Our big night out will now probably not go ahead, kick off for us Now 11pm Sunday night.

Any idea on when tickets go on sale? I'll need to be quick i know

Would normally go to it as in laws live in Derbyshire

Not likely now I think

Not totally unexpected, but blinking annoying all the same. Luckily we can still make it, but have to be togged up for a show and meal at the Mechanics early evening. Others may not be so lucky, unfortunately.

I may be the only one happy with the fact that Rovers has been moved to Sunday lunchtime - dont arrive back from Hamburg with work until late on the Friday night, and was worried it would be an early kick off on the Saturday.

The Sheffield United move is a right ballache though

I can see a lot of requests to the ELFA for no game that day.

I’ve already submitted mine

RammyClaret61 · Post by **RammyClaret61** » Fri Sep 23, 2022 1:48 pm

Remembrance Sunday as well that day.

There isn't mate, I can watch us play the bastards whenever I want, but my kid will only be playing football for a couple more years before he turns into adult*

Half my team along with myself & my assistant are STH.

Our games usually have a 11am kick off.

If I didn’t put a request in for no game now and was scheduled one I’d only have to forfeit as I wouldn’t have enough players available

We won’t be the only team/club to do it. I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t schedule any games that weekend tbh

I agree many will, it was slightly tongue in cheek following the meltdown when kids football was called off for 1 day recently

When did you think it would be, looking at previous games?

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Fri Sep 23, 2022 3:37 pm

I will be heading back over to the UK for these two games (+ Crawley).

Anyone have an idea when Sheffield tickets will be available?

I'm hoping for a cancellation of his game put it that way!

At least getting a ticket for Sheff U shouldn't be an issue now.

You’d obviously assumed, wrongly that I meant the Blackburn game, I’m well into retirement now but when my son used to play I wouldn’t have missed any of his games no matter who Burnley were playing. Our children are not children for long so go to his game and support him, he may not admit it but he'll be chuffed to bits.

Nothing wrong with putting your children first, just don't moan when things get in the way, plus that's harsh on kids wanting their game called off just to suit you

It's can't be 3pm or 5pm sat or Sun the dickheads will be p1ssed

Accrington play at home Saturday so they were never going to be playing Saturday

Sunday at 12 is the only time this game could be played

AGENT_CLARET · Post by **AGENT_CLARET** » Fri Sep 23, 2022 4:51 pm

The reverse fixture will be 100% played on Sunday at 12 that day is mothers day, some will moan they will miss the game because they're taking their mum out for a meal, you will never suite everyone everytime

What like every other year that teams play on Remembrance Sunday? Burnley fans always have to find something to complain about, and people say Liverpool always play the victim card.

Play with your son, in the garden and kick him accidentally! (Make sure you have 2 tickets, to soften the blow!)
