Barnsley one is great. Full day in Sheffield! you'd have stay over in Sheffield cos though can get back there from Barnsley you won't be back there it time make last train back to stockport at 10.10pm either that or pay on one of coaches do train there and coach back after game but adding a little extra expense You could get an uber back from Sheffield between four of you for about £15/£20 each, stay out as late as you like.

Oakwell is a cracking atmosphere at night though, and 4.500 County behind the goal on a Saturday night will be daft! doubt there will be 4.5k that on a Saturday night with no trains home

We couldn't jump in quick enough!!!

Spare a thought for Bristol Rovers fans getting to EP for 12.30..... To be fair there’s a direct train from Temple Meads to Stockport that takes just over 2 and a half hours! An early start but definitely doable.

Spare a thought for Bristol Rovers fans getting to EP for 12.30..... At least they can get home. Will have to drive if I'm not working that Saturday evening, was thinking of taking the train.

Thats not the main point though these stupid KO times are where fans who attend games come a poor second to live TV. Feel 3pm KO are going to be a novelty as other times are going to affect many of us. Tell the kids they cannot go to saturday morning as we have a 12.30 start or your partner that their saturday night is also cancelled thanks to sky. Feel fans are going to have to make decisions they do not want to make during the season.

Spare a thought for Bristol Rovers fans getting to EP for 12.30..... Why, the powers that have allowed this do not give a shit so why should we. Its not as if fans will see all the new money coming in as it will be squandered on players wages and increased transfer fees with the strugglers still struggling to keep their heads above water.

The clubs have signed up to it though, it's like the old Klopp argument at the 12.30 Kick Off with BT - as was correctly pointed out to him, the clubs have agreed to it (ours being one of them) so you can't retrospectively complain when Kick Offs change.

We can complain, because we were never asked. If I'd been asked I'd have said to tell Sky to piss off.

Think clubs are too greedy/too easy to roll over.

An early start but definitely doable. I will not be doing it Imagine the cheapest ticket will be about £100 at this point. Anytime I look at coming up on train with under 2 months to go, the prices are horrendous. Our train ticket system is a farce with 100s of ticket types for same journey, but wish the authorities could work with the train companies to allow tickets to be changed at zero fee if a match gets moved etc. It will never happen but would make it so much cheaper for all involved!
