adrian lord Posted 12 April, 2016 Share Posted 12 April, 2016 Dreadful game, this Oil Derby. City have really wet support too, only hint of a decent atmosphere was when they booed the CL anthem before kick off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Posted 12 April, 2016 Share Posted 12 April, 2016 City's season completely fell apart (in the league) when De Bruyne got injured. Absolute top class player Imagine if Jose had an eye for a player and used him and Lukaku at Chelsea!! imagine City and Liverpool cleaning up in Europe LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatlesaint Posted 12 April, 2016 Share Posted 12 April, 2016 I just got my tickets today - so it might move to Saturday 30th instead? Could be, we will know after Friday's draw. To be honest if Sky still want to show the game then because of the scheduling of other matches for TV it might not even be played that weekend, could end up a midweek game during the week of 8th May ? im pretty sure Sky and BT cannot show Prem matches at the same time and Sky have another game scheduled for Saturday 30th as do BT, one at lunchtime and one at 5.30.

Thanks, midweek would be a problem for me. Can you get a refund if this happens? Edit/ looks like you normally can. Obviously been lucky in the past as never been to a moved match before.

Good find, that's it then, if Man City are playing Tuesday 3 May in Champions League our game will be 5.30 Saturday evening. If they are playing Wednesday 4 May it will stay as Sunday at 4.00 !

Dark Munster Posted 13 April, 2016 Share Posted 13 April, 2016 Either way, it's good news for us that they are playing a CL semi-final either side of our match. They hopefully will have one eye on the second leg when they come down to SMS, unless of course Barcelona are 5-0 up after the first leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are playing Wednesday 4 May it will stay as Sunday at 4.00 ! it does raise the question why they didn't just schedule this game for the Saturday 5.30 slot in the first place and removed all doubt around the date. it is good news for Saints - City will definitely have a distraction having to play a semi final a few days either side of playing us, will affect their support as well, i can see from the Saints ticket website that Man City have already sent back tickets in block 43 of the Northam, wouldn't surprise me if they sent back more, their support is nothing like that of Man Utd / Liverpool / Spurs / Arsenal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will finish 4th and pellegrini is making a bit of history for the club 2 league cups, a league title and in the semi final of the champions league for the first time ever.

markr27 Posted 15 April, 2016 Share Posted 15 April, 2016 City drawn in Semi Final 1, so does this mean it'll be playing the 1st leg on Tuesday 26th April, which should mean the Saints game remains Sunday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrant Posted 15 April, 2016 Share Posted 15 April, 2016 Man City play on Tuesday 26th April and (most importantly) Wednesday 4th May. That should mean our game remains as currently scheduled, on Sunday 1st May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
