Don't all the games ko at 5.15 - including the TV game??? Dover isn't the last game of the season though. |

Thinking about this, don't both clubs have to agree to a game being on TV?
Doubt rovers would sell tickets now if they knew they were going to be on TV?
Then again...

How are ticket sales going for this, does anyone know? Any slim chance of going to general sale?

Apologies if I have missed something, but aren't there two very important points not mentioned here yet that surely must be taken into account.
1) probably hundreds of us have already booked train tickets etc and in most cases the trains between Bristol and London and vice verse are not changeable.
2) is it not unfair to have vital games which could decide someone's League future being staggered, thus giving an advantage / disadvantage to rivals right at the culmination of a years hard graft?
I know the Premiership don't give a toss about fans etc, but this would surely be the biggest kick in the teeth anyone could deal our fans, who after all have made the Vanorama this season. Without them it would have been pretty dull. Or is that why it's possible they might shift it, to try and keep us here?

Even for on pitch matters it seems bizzarre! Sure we would have the advantage if it is us Vs Dover on the box, but I would have thought every one of the last 3 matches for ourselves, barnet & Grimsby would have to all kick off on the same day and at the same time!?

But it would be a big advantage to the other two if we didn't win. So it is still unfair to contemplate allowing staggered ko times at this stage.

I'm really disappointed that there is almost no chance of this going to general sale, and even if it does, there will be barely any tickets going with massive demand. There is no chance of Dover providing a greater allocation either - their crowd capacity has been reduced since they played Palace in the FA cup apparently. So no, no extra 500 allocation for us. Amazed at the level support has picked up. I guess that it shouldn't be surprising that a bit of success leads to so many returning to follow their team - I just always find it strange that peoples attitudes are so fickle as to only follow a winning team (or a team in the late stages of relegation). |

Why? Everyone thought it was a good move for us to play in Good Friday before Barnet & Grimsby, and now people think the rules should change? The last games kick off together for 2 reasons to avoid collusion in manufactering results & to allow the the TV companies to 'build' the excitement for non spectators ie theirs been a goal at X & as it stands team Y have moved into s play off spot. |
