cryoman1965 Posted 21 September, 2013 Share Posted 21 September, 2013 Scheduled date for this is 14 December at 1500 hrs. Looking to make travel arrangements but unsure if it will be moved for TV or not. Anyone confirm if we are are to do so. Cheers N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forester Posted 21 September, 2013 Share Posted 21 September, 2013 they will release the next set of TV games over the next month or so - and so it is a big risk to book trains at present I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berkshire Saint Posted 21 September, 2013 Share Posted 21 September, 2013 Yep, TV games not been picked yet but Spurs v Liverpool and Norwich v Swansea have been moved to the Sunday due to Europa League. The former will almost certainly be picked by Sky. Man City v Arsenal is also that weekend and will be selected but otherwise not too many obvious ones that round. If ours is moved, a Sunday lunch time kick off would probably be the most tolerable like last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cryoman1965 Posted 22 September, 2013 Author Share Posted 22 September, 2013 Thanks for the replies. I will hold off booking the flights till a more certain kick off. Why has it got to be so difficult. N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantsaint Posted 22 September, 2013 Share Posted 22 September, 2013 Cryoman- hoping for this to get changed as well. Allow some of us Scottish Saints to get to a 'home' game. Last year was great due to both Sunderland and Newcastle away games were changed to the Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish they would hurry up and confirm as public transport prices continue to rise as the date nears. Had a plan to fly originally but flight prices went through the roof last weekend. I get the feeling they don, t care about the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets B Avenue Posted 5 November, 2013 Share Posted 5 November, 2013 That's a relief. When should we expect tickets to be on general sale? Chelsea are on sale now. Newcastle is a fortnight later, so expect them to sell in 2 weeks time. But this is our TO so logic goes out the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 6 November, 2013 Share Posted 6 November, 2013 http://www.canaries.co.uk/news/article/newcastle-a-1141225.aspx I see Norwich are halving the price of their tickets for this one - would be nice if we were to do the same - especially so close to Christmas. If not - it's about £35 I think, not too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
