October and November TV games (Derby Moved To Sunday 26th Oct, 12.15)

***Billy Whizz*** · 08-09-2014 08:10 AM

As an side, does anyone know if the KO time via Dumbarton on the 11th October is likely to be changed? Scotland play Georgia at 5pm that day, and I wanted to go to both games

What would you suggest as an alternative time if the match was to be covered on TV?

Serious question and I'd appreciate some reasoning to back-up your previous spewage.

Saturday 12.30, Saturday 12.45. Sunday 2pm, even 4pm would be better than a ****ty 12.15pm kick-off.

12:15 on a Sunday morning just seems to dampen the atmosphere IMO.

It certainly would dampen the atmosphere to play just after midnight.

I emailed Garry O'Hagan about that game last week and got the following. Doesn't really help, but does seem to suggest there aren't any plans to move it to avoid a clash with the Scotland game.

"Hi Matt,

The 11th Oct is a scheduled fixture date for all Championship Clubs.

Same matches may have to move but this is only likely to be because of International call–ups.

The rule is if a team has 3 first team players called up for International Squads (at U19, U21 or Full International level) they can apply to have the match re-scheduled.

The downside of this is that International squads are only announced a couple of weeks before the game, so relatively short notice.

I know this doesn’t give you a definitive answer but hope this is of assistance.

Kind regards

Garry"

Matt, thanks. Under 21's don't have a game that weekend, so unlikely to be called off. Think for the good of the game organisations would talk to each other

Maybe they will move the dumbarton match to an earlier kick off?

The impression I got from the email was that the only reason for any change would be because of call ups, which would require a postponement rather than change in kick off time.

I remember we played them in a top 6 game a week or 2 after we beat them at tiny (when shiels and GOC score).

It finished 2-2 - they got a flukey deflected equaliser (obviously) late on. A free kick bounced off Webster I think.

Yeah, I remember Riordan scored a peach. I think there was also a Saturday 3pm game the year after when they won 4-1 @ the PBS.

I'm sure one of the games in the championship that week(possibly Raith's but not sure) has been moved to the Friday. Hibs will be losing out if they leave it at 3

Yes your right, Raith v QOS moved to the Friday night

Just had the following email about the Dumbarton game;

"Hi Matt,

Assume you have note made final plans since last email given your response.

Since last writing the U21s can now no-longer progress in the playoff round of that Tournament. The playoff dates would have been 8-14 Oct.
With this now confirmed and a clear month to this round of fixtures Clubs are starting to look at this weekend in more detail, especially with the Scotland v Georgia game in mind.

Might be worth holding off a couple of days before you make your final arrangements.

Kind regards
Garry"

If Hibs are planning to move the game v Dumbarton can they hurry up so I can make arrangements to go to Scotland v Georgia. Sunday 3pm would be ideal for Hibs fans like me who follow Scotland too.

Would prefer a Friday night as opposed to Sunday myself.
