Police okay with 3.00 and definetly not on Sky

Absolute madness in my opinion. Cardiff fans will be put on the booze early on that day, there’ll be a tanked up welcoming committee when our coaches in the bubble arrive.
At least on a Sunday things are a bit more calmer.

Allowing both sets to get thoroughly tanked up. This not gonna go well.

Cannot believe this game is not being televised, with sky opting for Blackpool V Forest instead.
Both teams only game left that anyone gives a shit about and it wont be shown, what a disgrace.

Any ideas when the tickets go on sale, can't wait for this one, will be fully tanked up.

IN fairness why would Sky's viewing audience want to watch two sides in the lower mid table positions of the Championship battle it out ?

Not really a disgrace?

Is there any way BBC Wales could have picked this game up? Amazed there is no live coverage.

Massive game between Blackpool and Notts Forest is on Sky mun. :?

There must be more to this, surely? Did the club(s) want it not televised to maximise on gate receipts or something? Not sure if they have a choice in that anyway?

I take your point, Phil...but it's guaranteed to be a good (well certainly 'eventful') match - when the alternative is Blackpool v Forest I find that a bit strange. If it was a big PL game (or any PL game for that matter) I would kind of expect it.

We've played games against them later than 3pm in recent years anyway. Typical for the double not to be televised ...

Clearly we all have an interest in the game which adds to the "good" feel of the game but how many recent derbies have been absolute classics to a neutral?

Granted Blackpool v Forest has no appeal at all but I cant say I am surprised Sky showed no interest - both us and Cardiff are pretty dull to watch

Bubble Question.
Is swansea the only place to catch the bubble bus, or do they have pick ups at Bridgend etc?

I fancy taking my son to his first away derby, certainly don't want to miss the first ever double.

As we live less than 4 miles from legoland, and my lad has an important game Saturday morning a Bridgend or Cardiff west pick up would make it sweet.

Surprised it’s not being televised. But far more surprised the police have allowed the ko to go ahead at 3pm.

It's always been that you have to get on the bus at the Liberty unfortunately.

Not sure that's the case now. I know there were pickups in Cardiff West last time, and those based locally were allowed to leave the stadium directly on the QT.

It'd be worth asking the club directly.
