Rearranging a fixture to 3pm on a FRIDAY!!!!!

http://www.hartlepoolunited.co.uk/page/ ... 37,00.html

i seen that and thought some people work on a good friday

More people probably work on a Saturday though.
But it looks like it is also to give them more time for travelling to Southampton for the Easter monday game

It's just in case someone gets booked. It gives another day to sink in and count how many yellows everybody has.
I would have thought that was obvious.

Good Friday's a bank holiday isn't it?

Surely, that will mean more fans will have the opportunity to go.

is'nt everyday a holiday for you

good friday is a normal working day for me, apart from we shut a couple of hours early but not as early as 3pm

You do realise it's Easter weekend and that day is a Bank Holiday. I don't think it's stupid at all.

A lot of us work bank holidays

Concurring with the sensible people like Mr Bap.

Jepus H

Some people will whinge about ANYTHING

Imagine if 'Pools had mad this change a week before the match?


Cry babies spring to mind

I'm agreeing with talbot

this is a bad thing!
one day I'll be banging on about how shite folk music is and slinging my arran sweater in the bin.....

a lot of people work saturdays or late nights and can't make night games.

Its only 1 game so i don't see it being a major problem. Also its 10 month away, plenty of time to stick a holiday in for it!!!

Its a ludicrously early kick off. .

And it's preposterous to only give 10 month notice.

Are you on drugs?

A lot of people work shifts, your point is what?

Like games on banks holidays always seems a better atmosphere.

A great idea, if people want to go away for the weekend and go to Pools they can do both with greater ease now.

Aye.

Like a Bank Holiday weekend away to Southampton for example.

Even if people are working there is more chance of Pools getting a bigger crowd so people should be happy with it as it'll generate more dough for
the club.

No I refer my right honourable friend to his post many months ago about a 7pm kick off being ludicrously early on a Tuesday so by that reckoning a 3pm kick off on a Friday is even more ludicrous.

Was trying to be funny M8.

Are you a priest?

I must agree that I also think its a good idea from Pools. Unusually therefore I must applaud the club.

nnngh, uph, nnngh, mmm, grunt mmph I cant quite seem to manage it.

When i read the title of the thread, i thought, what now? But was pleasantly surprised. Highly commendable decision, well done Pools.

Ludicrous, I forgot about the match change thread

A victory for common sense.. Who the fook works Good Friday anyway bar the shopkeepers and err I thought they worked the occasional Saturday ... ITS common sense to switch it to a 3pm kick off but when did common sense ever get in the way of an opportunity to have a pop at Pools!
