FA cup 3rd round

[jdmckbee]

That's 10 or 15 in my group that were planning on coming, not coming now.

[b4life]

I'll miss it too. Whoever made the decision, I hate them!

FU*KING BULLSH*T CU*TS!!!!! Sunday game again. WHY!!!!!

rozzas this time , cant cope with 2 games in the same city on the same day!

The club website says it's for the BBC live coverage show again. Oh well, more money for the club at least.

[Mickbee]

That's me fucked. I would have to take two days holiday to go on Sunday. As much as I would love to go, that ain't happening. What a load of bollocks.

[becbee]

Totally messes up my plans too - but we'll still go. Very annoying.
2pm kick off also means having to get up an hour earlier / not getting much time pre match in Sheffield itself.

I’ll probably still go tbf. But this has put a horrible spanner in the works.

I'm pleased it wasn't shifted to a Friday.

Sunday doesn't bother me, I guess if you drive its not a problem.

I assume those who use the train this is a problem.

Less traffic on the road

Come on you Bees

I suspect many of us feel exactly this way.

I'm not sure that's accurate. I only recall their Final Score programme covering 1st and 2nd round ties.

M1 sunday night - less traffic!!!!

Nothing to worry about mate!

[b4life]

You’ve clearly never travelled south on the m1 on Sunday evening! Good luck! Yet again the effing BBC have screwed it up for me, the ‘pieces of silver’ are clearly more important than the fans.

[becbee]

Less lorries on M1 but far more cars as many people will have gone north for Xmas / New Year and will leave coming back until the final day before returning to work / school.
