According to the Doncaster Rovers Facebook page the Middlesbrough game has been brought forward to Saturday 7 May with a 7.45pm kick off.
Yeah they do, maybe they're all at that time now?
I see the league consulted the BBC and Sky, but no mention of any consideration to any clubs fans.Wonder how many have already booked train tickets or hotels .
Lets look at the positives. Its a Saturday night, anyone who is not planning to go to the game lets all go Hogans or Walkabout and get pissed to celebrate staying up.Sick of seeing these places full of Man Utd and Liverpool 'fans'. Lets have a good old Rovers piss up.
Apologies. Steve Utley has just confirmed on the Sine FM Rovers Takeover Show that it is a 12.45pm kick off and not 7.45pm like the Facebook page says.
What would be nice is if somebody, anybody, would actually give a f**king reason. Fine, the Rovers FB page typoed...but even the damn football league gave no reason for moving all the games...they've just said 'we've moved them after talking to the clubs and TV'. No mention of a reason WHY. Is anybody in a position to find out?
All Championship games that weekend have been moved to the same time for \"potential TV coverage.\"Although it is annoying that TV companies dictate when the football fixtures are played, you can see why they've not yet made their mind up on which games will feature on telly. I mean, there are a few games that could potentially have something riding on them come the final day:Palace v Forest - Palace may need something to stay up, Forest may need something to go up.Middlesbrough v Rovers - Hopefully not, but one/both teams might need something to avoid the drop.QPR v Leeds - One/both may need something to secure promotion/a play off place, or in QPR's case the title.Scunthorpe v Pompey - Again, unlikely that Pompey will slip down there, but if they go on a bad run, there could be something riding on this in terms of relegation.Swansea v Sheff United - Again, it's a case of Swansea might need something to gain promotion/play offs, Sheff United might need something to stay up, although their current form suggests it'll be done and dusted by then.
