League Cup 4th Round - Newcastle Utd v AFC Bournemouth (20/12/22 @ 7.45pm)


Recommended Posts

Bit of a pisser this mind. Was really looking forward to this. I break up for 2 weeks on Wednesday so I was looking forward to finishing graft, getting over to the town for a few pints, match, then 2 weeks off work.

 

Now I've got a 6am start to look forward to the following day which is never much fun after a midweek match.

After reading the full statement I have to say as much as I understand the reasons behind the change of date (they explain them after all) was I the only one who thought it lacked a little empathy for those needing to change plans and possibly lose money etc? Seemed no acknowledgement at all.

Given the amount of strikes in multiple sectors it is probably just to avoid being slammed for blaming anyone for the re-arrangement. I think another club had to postpone a match due to rail strikes, but it was a similarly bland statement.

Not what I meant. Wasn’t expecting them to shift blame or anything. Just thought a line saying they understand this will cause problems for some fans etc. It just lacked any acknowledgement on the troubles such a late move would cause for some.

I understand what you’re saying, and clearly it probably wouldn’t of hurt to add something like that, but perhaps there’s a feeling that that would in some way almost acknowledging they had some kind of choice? Would appear they only choice they were presented with (through no fault of the club) was move it to a different day or play it behind closed doors.
