Shocking again from sky watford fans trying to get to a game on a working week day for an 7.45pm kick off ok if your not to far away fair enough but what public transport is available after that game sky just not thinking about fans even bournmouth is a bit of a jaunt for an evening fixture the watford game for me is tight on a working day to get to cardiff with a 3 hour journey for a 7.45 kick off

I know people love blaming the TV companies (even though they’re the ones who have helped to make the Premier League arguably the best in the world because of their money), but...

Watford game is not on TV. It’s been moved to avoid the Wales v England match in the Six Nations. Couldn’t move it to Sunday because both clubs have midweek the fixtures the following week and there was no need to disrupt two matchdays because of this.

At least it's half term for us when Watford is on. So me and the lad can make that one. Gutted to have missed Wolves. Looked awesome under the lights.

That damn game on the 2nd is causing me all sorts of problems, given it’s my son’s 3rd birthday...

Evening kick off might have helped... find out soon!

Scared of the dark?? Man up and get there. We have to come from Brecon and get to every home game by moving other stuff. Just man up :banghead:

I travel from Yeovil and the bloke who sits behind me travels from Gloucester. I'm sure there's plenty of fans that go to more home games from further away than me but I'm not going to criticise anyone who lives closer who struggles to make daft kick off times.

I wasn't going to the Watford game anyway due to other plans but I feel better about it being on a Friday as that makes it more excusable :lol:

If we were due to play one of the top 6 club on the 23rd Feb it would have gone ahead that day.

The likes of Liverpool and man City won't agree to put a game back 24 hours just cos there's some stupid sport being played nearby.

They do not have a choice the police have ultimate authority to move or even cancel games if required! And if it was big 6 team it's even more likely to be moved ...... :thumbup:

In 2005, them stupid pricks in the millenium stadium won the 6 nations on home soil. There was 100s of 1000s in Cardiff that day and guess what? We were also home to Crewe that day.

Crewe!! What was crowd 7k? compared to around 30k this game, and like I said what chance of Watford fans and Cardiff fans for that matter arriving in time alongside many thousands of rugby fans (No hope & bob hope ) are their chances... like said police have ultimate authority and they are using it for this game which is understandable despite the inconvenience to some fans., but then some fans gained from switch certainly city have as get 2 extra days prepare for Tues game. :thumbup:

As watford fans said on their forum, if they're club refused to put the game back a day it wouldn't have happened.

The police are just looking to make their job easier.

No a club cannot override police if police say cannot play that day you cannot do so! clubs need certificate to play games if police say no that's it can appeal ect but wont succeed, but like you say police looking for easy day Besides fans are last in being asked about games switching.... Watford more than happy to change as like city they get 2 extra days rest..
