Polky Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 There’s a lot of uproar from Wigan fans tonight on Twitter. They’ve decided to give Manchester United fans the East Stand, which is their home end, rather than the typical away end. Imagine the uproar if Waggott gave away fans the full Blackburn End. To be honest, I wouldn’t put it past him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerb Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Forest Green get to replay the game against Scarborough after fielding an inelligible player yet Barnsley did the same and were chucked out of the competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyblue Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 The East Stand used to be the away stand there anyway, we sat in there in a League Cup quarter final. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattyblue Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Don’t remember them announcing it last time, just a greyed out stand on the ticket planner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably another two weeks before tickets are on sale, I would be surprised if there is an announcement before that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't outright announce it, but hid it down the bottom of the article of ticket news for the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyblue Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 As I was saying in the wrong thread, 22 games out of the 32 have been moved KO times. Load of them for ‘foreign TV broadcast’. Big worldwide demand for Coventry v Oxford, obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilsdenrover Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Has the time limit on ‘keepers holding onto the ball been scrapped? Sunderland’s just held on for 35 seconds! (I can’t find a general FA cup thread) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I can’t find a general FA cup thread) The six second rule is still in Law but, like a lot of others has not been enforced allowing keepers to abuse it. I can't remember the last time I saw it enforced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m all for a bit of leeway but 35 seconds is taking the piss. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaddyrovers Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Most of the TV games picked by BBC and ITV have been boring and pointless. Palace vs Everton was boring, Spurs vs Burnley same, Boro vs Villa same. Didn't see alot of Sunderland vs Newcastle game. Arsenal vs Liverpool has been a god watch for a neutral 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
