Sunday at 11.30 for TV
Piss taking at its very best
Sunday morning football. Eeeeuuuurgh.
What a shambles. 11:30am is taking the piss.
BBC Wales are showing it according to Fulham's website.
I'm guessing Hull v Swansea is staying at 3pm Saturday because they told the TV company to sod off.
Attendance is going to be terrible. For the reward of £48K from the BBC.
Tickets from £10 for ST holders, £12 for general sale.
Less than half the ground going to be open. Canton Stand not listed as being open
This is aiming to be the worse FA Cup experience ever.
I went to the Colchester and Shrewsbury games so I feel like I've done my time.
This one I won't be attending.
There'll be more people at Superkevs testimonial.

Fulham fans being given free coach travel. Busses leaving at 6:30am
( as crazy as that is for most people Tony TIT leaves at that time for an evening kick off at Bristol City so he's in the pub early enough )
Yet another home game I'll have to miss.
The FA Cup third round fixture between Cardiff City and Fulham has become the seventh game chosen for TV coverage on 3rd round weekend.
The ridiculous kick off time is to allow live coverage by BBC Wales.

Sorry just seen other thread.
I will have, ahem, other sporting commitments that day so I'm out
Didn't fancy it anyway truth be told
Cardiff need the money. If you can guarantee that playing at 3pm on Saturday will bring in another 7,500 fans paying £10 each, then call up Choo and explain why he has made the wrong decision.
Look also at how many blocks are open, Cardiff know they will get no more than 6,000. This is the price we all have to pay for the financial catastrophe of the last 3/4 years. Thankfully, we have a national broadcaster that are bailing us out. Bolton Wanderers have no such luck.

That's a bummer for the NY Bluebirds. Finally a televised game and it kicks off at 6:30am on a Sunday. I'll give this one a miss.
To be fair, the TV money is probably equivalent to another 10,000 tickets being sold. It's a joke that we are on TV at all in a Cup tie that is about exciting as a mid-table Championship game. As the poster says, a few clubs would love to have a local broadcaster paying them good money. Some people here seem to think we have the right to tell the TV companies to sod off. They then complain that Cardiff are not on TV enough.
It annoys me that we've already lost some Saturday home games this season ,only to lose another one to egg central BBC Wales,for a few bob. Yesterday on the news, in non egg part of sports news and they never even mentioned that we had a game
