Go on, criticise a club decision, just once, give it a go... You never know, you may like the feeling...But we'll happily take several million £'s from Sky next season if/when promoted.
We got into this bed a long time ago!
The press release makes out that we agreed to it though?The Club had no choice over this. Obviously it will mean a much smaller crowd. The nature of TV deals is that they call the shots.
A total disgrace that a SKY TV game we are not involved in means we lose our Bank Holiday home game of the season.
Your choiceActually I’d rather be a fan …
It’s annoying, especially if it messes up your plans, but we’re part of the whole system.

Yes, it's more of a change than an ordinary Saturday to Tuesday and will disrupt lots of people's plans.
I like night games but am supposed to be going to a gig that night - which is better, OUFC v MK or Nick Mason off of Pink Floyd??
I'm supposed to be at the much rescheduled Saucerful of Secrets gig too.I've already bought my ticket for Easter Monday, I've also got tickets to see Nick Mason playing at the New Theatre on Tuesday night.
What to do? Decisions, decisions....
Isn't it half term? Still annoying though.
That's a cheap dig.Go on, criticise a club decision, just once, give it a go... You never know, you may like the feeling...
If Nick Mason works to the same late starts as most rock gods you'll probably be able to watch the first half and still get to the gig on timeI've already bought my ticket for Easter Monday, I've also got tickets to see Nick Mason playing at the New Theatre on Tuesday night.

Apologies if you see it as a dig, more in jest.That's a cheap dig.
The club would have had no option. The point is we collectively sold out to the TV companies years ago and happily take the revenue that comes with that. This is, I think, the only game that has been changed this year. But if we go up, and that's what we all want, then we'll likely have half a dozen or more changes next season.
This affects me. I had booked time off work and arranged for 4 or 5 others to join me for this game. We were also looking at bringing our kids which may not happen. It's annoying, I get that. But moaning about sucking the dick of the TV companies is a bit late when we've been sucking it for 20 years and looking for more!!!
I suspect it’s an etiquette thing whereby this sort of request is always granted. We’d be furious if we’d had to play on Monday after Saturday because MK refused to switch. The club will lose money so would have refused if it was an option.But why did "the clubs" agree to the switch?
For the benefit of the fans, OUFC should have objected and insisted the game proceeds as planned on Easter Monday.

Need you even ask? Nick who? Pink what?Yes, it's more of a change than an ordinary Saturday to Tuesday and will disrupt lots of people's plans.
