I totally agree, but we are where we are, and club staff are just as keen to watch England play as some of the fans are. Caerphilly Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a bit ott. i get if you’re at work until 2 maybe on Saturday is annoying? Otherwise not too sure of the issue! They brought my great great great great great great great Grandfathers execution forward by 1 hour, Hung him they did, 30mins later they received a letter from the judge saying they got the court cases mixed up, And he only had to pay a 1 penny fine for double parking his horse and cart.

But they're all getting paid for their inconvenience, like millions of others who had to work while the game was on and I'm that most of those listed would have been able to watch the game whether it's a 2pm or 3pm kick off. It also doesn't address the ridiculous decision on the timing of the Wednesday game when virtually nobody would have got home for a 3pm kick off, it should have been brought forward to the Friday night, like most of the league one fixtures. I know that would have caused problems for a whole new set of people, but you have to look at the general picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Anyone outraged over moving a game that's less than 30mins away from Derby forward an hour so everybody has an even better chance of catching the England game needs to get out a bit more.

I am directly descended from Utto the ox eater who was driven out of ancient Derventio after an unfortunate incident at Markeaton involving Earl Curzon of Kedlestone's wife whilst parked up in an ox drawn cart. My ancestor was forced to flee across the border and found sanctuary in the leafy glade below the ridge of the Dove and founded a settlement we now call Uttoxeter.

We’ll I googled it and apparently Cheltenham is the best town in England, now I’m wondering why they don’t let Derby fans in as I’ve already booked an hotel for January.??♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might struggle to fit everyone in, even with a smaller than usual away following! Still, with the Coopers, Roebuck, Devonshire and Weighbridge pretty much on the same road, there's plenty of alternatives. cstand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
