Not at all surprised about the KO time. As usual, the match-going fan is bottom of the list of priorities.

I’m at the races that day so 7pm is perfect for me, shitfaced and pockets bulging with £50 notes by then hopefully!

Broke, pissed as fuck, covered in mud and trying to jib in

 

[Ribchester]

Perfect for me get up/ set off at reasonable time full day on the piss including a good stop off maybe thirsk be a great atmosphere should win if Pep plays our strongest team ( I.e. no sterling) then either bit more on coach home head down then all day Sunday recuperation.

Good for me.I am watching Darlington FC at Gateshead 3pm then straight onto City.

Im staying in Darlington, 30 mins away, good town with cheaper hotels.

Got a feeling that the City game will end up behind closed doors the way things are going though.

What points would be required to get a ticket for St James' Park?

Quite right, someone on one of the threads on here, said the authorities considered match going fans nowadays as just "background noise" how right he was.

It was also 7pm on the Sunday which was the latest for a Sunday cup game I had known, and about 50 free coaches put on.

Excuse my ignorance but what was 7pm kick off on a Sunday?
