Sorry Karen it was attached as a multi quote and I hadn't noticed. Probably a hangover from last night's gremlins. Apologies for the confusion.

No probs i didn't want to fall out with you

meaning that people like myself are stuck with worthless train tickets for a trip to Middlesbrough on the Saturday

As I posted earlier in the thread - the tickets are not worthless - you can change advances for a £10 fee.

Does anyone know why it is on the Thursday and not on the Tuesday or Wednesday which would have been a more likely date for the fixture.

Because Sky are already showing games on both those nights !!

The ones I bought aren't plus we can't get there in time now on a Sunday

You want to play the rags on the Tuesday just 2 days after the semi-final ?

Yes . I know. Just sounded right for the lyric

What was the year we played orient in the league. 64 or 65. It was my first game. Was 4 or 5. And had the programme for years. I think Stan Horne may have played. Much later I played with him at Rochdale.

We played Leyton Orient the 3 season's we were down in the old 2nd division 63/64 64/65 and 65/66,the 3 home games from those season were 2-0,6-0 and 5-0, I remember being at the 6-0 first home game 64/65 Wednesday night sat in the old Platt Lane stand.

Sky are already showing Arsenal and Chelsea's games on the Tuesday and Wednesday. They're not going to not show the derby, or bump one of those games. 3 consecutive games involving City, Chelsea, Arsenal, and United is a marketing dream for them. "Monster Midweek"?

Midweek masturbation ? ;-)

I would very surprised if they could not be changed.

Coordinated with the Rags as they are used to playing Thursday nights. Small gains and all that....

Tricky one for me this is. It's my wedding anniversary on that day, we've booked to go away for a few days and we've already booked a restaurant for 8pm on the night.

How in holy fuck am I going to get out of that in order to watch the game?

To say I'm fuming is a minor understatement!

Any tips blues?
