Fixtures Calendar - 2022/23

[Champions Again Ole Ole]

Got to plan a work trip near the derby - am I right in thinking if it is not the Sunday it is 100% the Wednesday before and not the Wednesday after?

I think it's a typo.

I think the arsenal game will move to Wednesday if city play in the CL on the following Tuesday. This is because wed have to play Brighton on the Sunday and then C.L Tuesday. Therefore arsenal Wed, Brighton Sat, CL Tuesday

As for united, I can't see it staying Sunday if we play C.L Tuesday.

The derby game moved to Wednesday before if City play on Tues 4th October according to MCFC.

Can't be as that's slap bang in the middle of international break

Sunday 2 October
14:00/16.30 TBC Leeds v Aston Villa (Sky Sports)
14:00/16.30 TBC Man City v Man Utd (Sky Sports)*
*Due to Man City's UCL participation on 4 Oct

The Premier league site suggests the derby is deffo Sunday but will be at 2pm if UCL on Tuesday and 4.30 if UCL on weds.


Surely we can complain of they have us playing Sunday /Tuesday??

The time hasn't been confirmed, but we will play 4.30 no doubt if the day isn't moved.

The Derby on a Wednesday must be a typo.
If we are playing Tuesday and can't play on the Sunday then surely we would play on the Saturday

Well the club stated it twice, so it isn't a typo, just a complete fuck up by them.

 

[didsburyblu]

The time hasn't been confirmed, but we will play 4.30 no doubt if the day isn't moved.

Yeah but that wording suggests it'll either be 2pm or 4.30 depending if we play Tuesday or weds in UCL.
Has a team ever had to play sunday/Tuesday to cater for TV and potentially damage a teams chances of 2 wins

England are playing on Monday 26 September, no way can the derby be on Wednesday 28th. It must be Wednesday 19 October they have in mind surely? Not sure how the Champs League dates work out, it might be that the United and Arsenal games can’t both need to be moved

As the song goes “de de de de fucking useless”

Ask @RobPollardMCFC he wrote it all....

It happened to us with the Chelsea FA Cup tie fiasco ahead of playing away at Kiev in the CL in 2016.
But to the best of my knowledge, no team has ever played a Sunday PL game before playing on Tuesday in CL. It’s exactly the same principle as a team that plays on Thursday night not having to play on the following Saturday.

Chelsea was Sunday evening and the game after was Wed in Kiev. 21/2 and 24/2

Fair enough, my mistake.
We might as well have been playing on the Tuesday though after the way we got stitched up over the Chelsea kickoff time when we’d specifically requested to play on the Saturday.

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

I think given the fact Ars v Spurs & WHam v Wolves are locked in for the 1st Oct in the usual slots, we could only slot in at 7.30pm, which they have done in the past. Obviously Leeds v Villa is tbc along with us on the Sunday, but I say why not Friday night? that would be epic, don’t suppose GMP would be happy

 

[Tonster]

According to the premier league it’s just the kick off time of the derby that could move either 14:00 or 16:30 but the date remains as Sunday 2nd

 

[UUJblue]

As I read it it’s 2pm or 4.30pm regardless and when the CL draw made at the end of August - the PL will force that match day to be WED for city. Surelyyy!

 

[bennyboy]

Brighton at home could be another Sunday match on the 23rd October.

 

[Alfie Budd]

Brighton at home could be another Sunday match on the 23rd October.

It‘s not on TV but will be on the Sunday if the Arsenal game is on Thursday 20th.

 

[Corky]

The city site has completely changed for the united game, so we could play 2nd and 4th?

Still don't believe it.

 

[Impeccable One]

It seems the date of the derby is fixed, only the time depends on if our CL game is Tuesday or Wednesday. If it’s Tuesday we’ll get an extra TWO AND HALF HOURS recovery with the game starting at 2pm.

That is f’in unbelievable, and I hope the PL will do everything in their power to ensure our CL game is on the Wednesday.
