As much as I dislike Noblot I can't say I'm revelling in it. It affects a lot of everyday people around the area in a knock on way . Working class people being late with bills = huge late fees for the banks. More debt on top of debt the everyday man cant get out from under already. Banks don't care they charge you for a letter that says "F*ck you pay us"

The Club definitely deserves it though, there needs to be consequences for such actions. We've been there ourselves as have many other clubs whom have had it much worse still. Start them in L1 with -50 points Laugh

There is a Friday night match most weekends so after a midweek set of fixtures there are always two teams faced with a Friday after a Tuesday. At least it is equal for both teams. We have been relatively lucky that we have had more Saturday TV games than Friday ones.

It does mean that we get an extra days rest before the Rotherham match.

so this has happened twice this season to more teams than us ???

or should i say to make it equal it should happen twice to every team !! this isnt the case is it ?

Blackburn sign sunderland striker on loan till the end of the season .... read what you will into this ?

I don't think it is any disadvantage. You play one match a day early against another team that plays a day early then you get an extra day break against a team that doesn't. So IMO, we would benefit to play on a Friday after every set of midweek fixtures. This is the reason that most teams play midweek matches on Tuesday (as opposed to Wednesday) because there is no loss or advantage playing early but there can be an advantage in the following match by playing early.

So, there is nothing to be lost playing Friday but there is something to be lost when matches are put back to Sunday or Monday.

well my boss will be pissed off when i tell him im not working !! and many will finish work early and lose money for the friday night fixture !! so there its wrong and Friday is a stupid day to play a game unless we win again ??

Permanent according to Garrido

Yep, that's what reports are now saying. Norwich have agreed and we'll all be happy people tomorrow.

I wonder if the fee will be undisclosed

I'm thinking so on the fee. That way DC doesn't divulge budgets to other teams, targets or their agents though no doubt there will be insider knowledge or speculation amongst those in the business.

BTW did everyone see the twitter picture of DC in the hospital visiting the guy who collapsed (heart attack) on the Kop last weekend.
Top Man !!. Relatives posted it not the club seeking publicity.
