Devils Clash with City - 24 November
- Thread starter Koop11
- Start date
Disagree. Why should we change for football? You make individual decisions. As a season ticket holder for Cardiff Blues, Cardiff RFC and The Devils I choose which team I will support on the day where there is a clash and do not expect to inconvenience other fans. Football is only a game - nothing special - spoilt prima donas. Most people have work the next day and children school. Tell Cardiff City to kick off 2 hours earlier and see what kind of reply you get!
Moving the faceoff has nothing to do with bowing to the football/rugby.
This is completely and utterly a move in order to encourage people to come down to the BBT after the football/rugby has finished.
Steelers games usually attract the best crowds to the bbt, thus movin the f/o to increase the chances of us getting more people in and making a few more quid for the club.

It's the Premier League/Sky Sports who dictate the kick off times - essentially Cardiff City have no say in it.
As has already been mentioned, the change in face off time is a move to encourage more people to go to the tent after the football has finished. With all of the problems at the organisation at the moment, the Devils need as many people in the tent as possible right now.

In this one situation the club are in a bit of a no-win situation.
Keep the FO at 6pm and there is no chance of people being able to watch the football and hockey, whether that be at the stadium or in the pub.
Move it to 6.45pm and it starts to get too late for children on a Sunday night and is also too late for people to use public transport to get home.
Fortunately the last couple of performances by us have meant that I won't be too bothered if I have to leave early or more likely miss the whole game.

Quick estimate: how many Devils fans are also into rugby and want to watch Wales vs the Convicts on Sat? 'Coz I'm one.
I emailed the rink and they aren't licensed to show the game so there's no chance it'll be on then. Kick-off is 5:15 this Saturday so it should finish at exactly puck drop in the Tent.
I will be late, but I am determined to do both. Where's the nearest safe pub (bearing in mind I'm from Swansea) to the rink to watch the rugby? Will any other Devils fans be doing similar?
I hope we have a good turn out to cheer the boys after last week. Notts Panters will have a strong travelling support on a Saturday and my nightmare vision is that we'll be out-chanted at home. Time to resurrect Bring A Buddy?

Think we’ll be looking at a poor crowd this weekend. City playing at 3pm, Wales v Aus at 5:15pm and then Devils v Nottingham, a game televised on Premier Sports. Also, I am assuming those block 3 fans like myself will be pushed out for the game to allow for the cameras to be set up. On a separate note, if indeed this is the case, I have not been directly contacted by the club about this nor have I seen any notice issued on the Devils website.
Consequently, I’ve decided to give this weekend’s Devils game a miss and watch in on the TV instead.
