Won't be on TV IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 There is obviously a reason that the games could be either date, tell us the circumstances and we can plan accordingly even without a concrete date. Don't understand this regular attitude in Scotland, it's the same with cup replays, they can often be days later but not announced by clubs until full time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socks Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 This happened last year as well, and it really nipped me at the time. It was either the Tuesday or Wednesday before the last set of league fixtures that the dates were finally announced. It didn't seem to be influenced by the teams involved either, as 4th place wasn't decided until the last day - it could have gone to either ourselves or Inverness. I think it's very poor, and seems to be spreading to the other play-offs as well. It used to be that the play-offs between this league and the one below had fixed dates of Wed-Sat-Wed-Sun, but these dates don't yet seem to be fixed either. I'd find it annoying for a run of the mill league game, but for important games like these that I'd definitely want to rearrange things around to make sure I could go to them all, it just dones't seem at all reasonable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SFA always announce potential replay (and rearranged tie) dates on their website before the original games are played. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB1994 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 There is obviously a reason that the games could be either date,I blame UEFA. They will be worried about all the viewers this game will take away from the second leg of the Semi Finals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely shouldn't have to go hunting around the SFA website or having to spend money to find it out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs often have a preference of day for midweek games. Jim McIntyre used to prefer to choose Tuesdays when he was Pars manager because he had family commitments on a Wednesday night. Could be another specific reason though. Edited April 30, 2019 by Poet of the Macabre 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this but my pedantry forces me to point out that we confirmed 4th on the second last week of the season with the draw in Inverness. The last league game saw us pump Dumbarton 4-0 at East End. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't confirm 4th at Inverness - we still needed at least a point against Dumbarton on the last day. Check the final table - we only finished 2 points ahead of Inverness. https://spfl.co.uk/league/championship/archive/265 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrunitedfw Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Just so I’m sure, if we need to go to Inverness midweek (by finishing 3rd) it’ll be the Wednesday night? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
