March Fixtures/LEICESTER Game Re-Arranged

Post by Gunner Rob »

anyone know when these are likely to be confirmed?

the NLD is just over 6 weeks away now and it would be good to know what day it is on.

Sp*rs v Arsenal Sat 5 Mar 1245

Arsenal v WBA Sat 12 Mar 1730

Everton v Arsenal Sat 19 Mar 1245


They have also somehow changed the Leicester match next month from Sat 1500 kickoff to Sun 1200! :twisted:

Anyone who's going Everton, would most be on the 707 train or 807 train from Euston?

I can't believe the Leicester City switch.

I was very surprised that it wasnt chosen for live tv coverage in the first place but to change it with just a few weeks notice is ridiculous. Not as ridiculous as the time though. In what way does 12pm on a Sunday (Valentines Day too lol) enhance this top of the table fixture ???

the WBA game is annoying too - was hoping to go to this one and rather fancied a 3pm Saturday kick off.
wasnt expecting that to be changed

That is also subject to postponement if we reach FA Cup 6th round

Its a joke that they can rearrange the kick off time and date for the Leicester game with such short notice

What I don't understand about the Leicester change is that it isn't even a kick off time that is going to be very attractive to TV viewers. As for those that have tickets...

I'm bloody working that Sunday!!!

Poor Leicester fans who have booked trains hotels etc aswell as our own fans from further a field!!

This was confirmed as a 3pm ko! Only few weeks back.

Disgrace!! But sadly not surprising!!

Also just had it pointed out to me that Everton away is just after we go to Barcelona on the Wednesday night.
How on earth can that be considered fair!!!!!
So we play on 16th and 19th March and then nothing until April. :banghead: :banghead:

Thought I had seen it all with TV fixture changes but these really are bad

As has been mentioned the Leicester switch is a fucking disgrace :( less than 4wks notice.The other matches aren't much better..Spurs away on a sat earlydoors(We rarely do well at this time ) = very high chance of a turdholing :( Same goes for Everton away especially on the back of our almost certain bumholing at Barca :( If the wheels havent came off by march they most certainly will in march :(
