Tranmere home 27th Jan

[Gabalfa Red]

I know i'm probably asking people to look into a crystal ball, so just really looking for the general feel for this, but how likely is the kick off for the Tranmere game to be moved from a 3pm do we think?

A few of us are currently trying to sort train tickets out up from Cardiff on that weekend, but to keep the price down we'll need to book in advance at a specific time, so if we get to Wrexham around 1pm that would be fine, but a bit worried about it being brought forward to a 12.15pm or whatever...

I know the same match last year was an early kick off, but was that just due to the TV coverage?

Yep, you are asking people to look into a crystal ball.

Nobody can say for certain it will be 3. Or even on the Saturday.

I would predict that there is a strong possibility of this being a game chosen for TV coverage which would alter the kick off time and possibly even the day.

I don't know how far in advance BT announce their televised games but considering our game at Macclesfield at the start of December was announced a few days ago, I would work on the theory that BT will announce if it is to be televised or not before the end of December.

I guess the only thing you can do is play it by ear and hope fate smiles kindly on you!

Last season's fixture was given an early KO to fit in with BT Sport.

Could happen again - to the neutral it would look an attractive fixture, a derby between two ex league teams with a good crowd - not looked at the fixtures for that weekend but would think it has a more than reasonable chance of being selected again and if so the stipulation is that it will have to be screened before the rest of the fixtures finish.

Just have to wait and see what gets announced much nearer the time.

Also without having viewed the FA Trophy schedule should both clubs progress or even one of them - these fixtures take priority over league fixtures if there is a replay or a backlog to clear - not forgetting too that Tranmere are still in the FA Cup.

Too many possibilities to consider at the current time.

Yeah, good points about the cup games too Red Light. We may have to hold fire for the time being i reckon.

Cheers

The 27 January is 4th round FA cup day. As BT sport have a number of FA cup matches on live each round will it mean that the National League games aren't shown that weekend?

Don't think BT Sport have the FA Cup contract / right to show - is it BBC only and or Sky ?
