[TonyM]

Would thought it would be 3pm if so has anybody got a fast car to get back to Margate

[Guest]

That's really taking the piss - 15 minutes to get back to Thanet from Ashford.

 

Crowd of about 50 for that one then I think.

Or you could watch the game in the Homelands bar or a pub in Ashford.

[color:"blue"] Be fair, we are playing a team that's coming four-five hours away from Ashford. They have to be concidered too.

 

What really IS TAKING THE P!$$ is the FA(or Welsh FA), who have scheduled the match for an afternoon where there's a full schedule of grass roots football, why can't they schedule it for the evening - say 6pm k.o. ?

I'm sure there would be a bigger TV audience for a Saturday evening kick-off than 3pm. Maybe there are policing worries (i.e. loads of England and Wales fans milling around Manchester's pubs all day Saturday.)
