Drawn at home to Mags in FA Cup

[Rocky77]

Apparently, it could be Thursday before the date/kick off is confirmed. Both the BBC and ITV want the game but a noon kick off is a problem

Problem for whom?

I hope it isn't televised and that there's no streams. That would be canny.

Problem for whom?

Apparently they’d prefer a later kick off.

I wish it was tomorrow me..f***ing get stuck into the c*nts

Hope we're asking for an 11am kick off now

 

[Boz33]

It’ll be an early kick off, way too much potential for trouble if everyone’s full of ale

Yeah...thinking the same lol. 5.15 with everyone on the drink since 11

 

[Rocky77]

Quarter past 5 on a Saturday would be unbelievable like. Atmosphere would be even more toxic

I believe TV want a 1.30 kick off. NP apparently aren’t overly keen on that

Be a shame having an early kickoff but let’s be honest plenty fans both sides would act the cnt and nothing good ever comes from it

I don't understand the whole "late kick off = everyone will be pissed" argument. Surely if its an early ko, those who want to get pissed will just start drinking earlier anyway? I'm sure I remember reading a few years ago that a few of our fans went to the snooker/pool place that used to be near Jamesons for an all-nighter, because it was open 24 hours or something, before an early derby. A later ko/evening match would be class. People who want to get pissed, will be pissed, regardless of what time the match kicks off. I dare say there'll be some who've started already.

I suspect they will compromise and go for 12.45 or 1pm on the Sunday.

Expect a lot of noise about the mags allocation in the coming days.

I'm sure we played them on a Saturday teatime at the Stadium of Light in April 2001. We drew 1-1 when Patrice Carteron scored.

Gotta be reduced I reckon, 15% is a shit tonne of mags for the coppers to cope with

Later kick offs definitely result in more people being boozed up like. The atmosphere at the play off game last season was proof enough of that, class day.

Unlikely but imagine if we scored first

Because of the known issues with the aways being in the NS upper, we don’t want to budge from the present cap of 2200 ish

The mags wanting 15% are in for a major shock

Aye I think you're right

 

[tunstallhill]

I think we'll score at least 1. Penna maybe

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Aye I think you're right

We did.

The Defoe game was also a 4pm kick off iirc
