If the Derby games gets moved that will mean Saturday's home game will be the last 3.00 kick off at Villa Park this season.

Would be amazed if the Derby match stayed at 3pm, that is a cert to be moved.

I mentioned a few weeks back I was surprised we hadn't played a Friday game in the championship yet at home. Surprised WMP have allowed this with it being Leeds.

That's absofuckinglutely disgraceful. The clubs should be able to have some input into it.

Cardiff Tuesday 10th April match live and Leeds also live moved to Friday 13th.
That's not good having to play Leeds 24 hours earlier than necessary.

It's the same for Leeds though.

No chance Derby game won't be moved. I'm determined to go to it whenever it is and will take time off work as required but will be a bit pissed off it''s a Monday night.

Hope the Sky factor doesn't affect the Cardiff crowd too much. We need a massive crowd and rocking ground for that one.

If anything, it gives us an advantage. We have two successive home games while they have two away games in the same time frame.

Effed off about the Leeds game, my brother and I was gonna take my nephew and our old man but there's no way I can get from Brighton to Birmingham via Luton for kick off. And as others have said, this weekend is probably our last 3pm Sat game, considering it's just only March is ridiculous.

It's midweek anyway. That's the sort of game that sells itself so I think we'll get 40k for that.

We are both playing on Tuesday. We are both playing on Friday. They have to travel to both games. We are at home for both games.

Doubt Cardiff will bring many.

One of their local games, and *potentially* biggest game of the season, can see them bringing a full away end which is only around 2,400.

as I struggle to get to home midweek games due to my work commitments Cardiff was always going to off my list....but Leeds on a Friday evening ?? please do not move Derby.

it is obviously not the same as being there at the match, but at least they are on the TV
