Barticus 29 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 With the FA Cup quarter finals been played the weekend of the 11th March our game against Sunderland will have to be rescheduled, hopefully they'll put it back to Wednesday the 15th so I'll be home for it, that would be a bonus Link to post Share on other sites
northern boro 449 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Boro v Sunderland may not take place until late April or May The only dates available to avoid European games are April 25th & 26th & May 16th & 17th March 14th and 15th are very unlikely due to the Champions league Link to post Share on other sites
Barticus 29 Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 Us & Sunderland aren't in any other comps so I can't see March been an issue, Link to post Share on other sites
northern boro 449 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Us & Sunderland aren't in any other comps so I can't see March been an issue, Champions league + international break makes it very hard for March Link to post Share on other sites
Will 2,958 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Can we actually not play midweek due to the Champions league? Surely Sky would love to televise a derby on a European night to disrupt BT's viewership Link to post Share on other sites

Downsouth 6,327 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 With the original game not being shown live (can not think of any reason why this was so) I do not see this being rescheduled for a live mid week match Link to post Share on other sites
Humpty 3,261 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I posted this on twitter but the later this game is played the more it reminds me of the Newcastle game in 2009 :( Link to post Share on other sites
LinoJo3 3,191 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I posted this on twitter but the later this game is played the more it reminds me of the Newcastle game in 2009 :( I was actually thinking if we ended up playing Huddersfield in the cup it has the potential to be like that Cardiff cup game aswell.

Borodane 6,301 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Two relegation candidates can't play on a weekday because of champions league fixtures. That is just utterly ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites

ABH 470 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Didn't ***nal have midweek game kick off about 5.15 to stop it clashing with champions league games. Link to post Share on other sites
