I would think moving the game to a Thursday night would hit the speccy ` numbers anyway and I didn`t know that turnstile operaters and stewards were volunteers I thought they got paid . I would hate our Club to be pushed into doing something that makes them worse off , I wouldn`t want it changing to be honest as it suits me fine and I`ll volunteer on the day to sell programmes if they need volunteers I along with others have done it before. Surely the descision the Directors have to make should be based on what is in the best interest of the rugby club and based on that if they decide to move the date /time then so be it but Thursday night would be poor , hospitality alone would lose out .

That's their choice, I'm sure the players would welcome 3 or 4 days LESS rest before the Oldam game.

Not to mention the fact that both Fax and Oldham are a part time team , so they are expected to work a full day then dash up to the Shay to play a game of rugby .

Not really worth moving the game as you would probably get similar crowds if it were moved to the Friday, there will be people who wont be able to make that and I would imagine it might be the same sort of number that will go and watch Town at Wembley.

How many turnstiles do we have open on game day? I mean I know at least 3 of the regular turnstile operators and theres not a chance they will be going to Wembley.

For me the obvious solution is to play on the Saturday at 3pm. Players don't have to work a full day beforehand & get 6 days rest. Club doesn't lose out as most fans going to Wembley will be going down on the day plus the only football being played is the FA Cup Final in the evening.

I realise a few people do work on Saturdays but if announced today/tomorrow they have two months to book time off.

As sad as it is the FA Cup final would probably take more off the gate than our own football team playing at Wembley. Sad times.

Reality check is the gate would be significantly reduced if played on sun whatever some may think!! sat would have to be best option regarding two part timers and maybe this game do a initiative to try and get as many as possible down theres plenty of time between now and then

How? It now kicks off at 5:30-ish. If we kick of at 3pm it gives plenty of time to get to pub unless we have a load of West Ham/Crystal Palace/Watford fans

1615 KO for Town.

I hope commonsense prevails and the Oldham game is switched to a different date, preferably 24 hours earlier. To play the game at the same time as a Wembley final would be crass. Apart from the odd numpty on either side there's a vast number of people who follow both games and teams, just from the odd brief conversations I've had already there's a number of Fax supporters heading down on the 22nd.....myself included.

In my very humble opinion, for what it's worth I think our game should be moved.

I think a lot of the reasons some of us have a down on the football club is because of the numpties on their forum who can't forgive us for being successful.

Some of our supporters are also Town fans and for them and the few other reasonable supporters this is a great day.

It wouldn't hurt to move our fixture if Oldham agree.

Not sure about the 'can't forgive us for being successfull'

quote,that has never come across to me as a reason for differences between the clubs supporters.Hope the game is moved but i do agree with other posters that the attendance will be affected anyway.

The point to me is that most of the volunteers don't pay to get in , the people on the gates might get paid, a lot of the supporters have season tickets so they will be included in the attendance. So lets see what the figures for the game are and if they are so dire as what is being talked about, the club could allways move the game the next time the pub team get to Wembley.
