Taunton v Barrow FA Cup game

[JimmyCrabstick]

May have gone 'Off Topic' with that one.

I also witnessed a pie getting pushed into a Fleetwood supporters face in 1986.Wonder if it was the same perpetrator?
There was a pie thrown onto the pitch at Oldham fa cup game to.

At least there are no pie related incidents at Barrow

The Google Calendar on the fixtures page needs updating to reflect next Saturday's kick off and the Sunday FA Cup game at Taunton.

Could the club have refused to play on the Sunday? I would like to see some of the money the club have been given somehow to benefit the travelling fans who now will have to take a day off work.

No, I don't believe they can do so, last season FCUM had their FA Cup First Round against Chesterfield chosen as the live game, and they couldn't refuse when the date was changed to suit the TV coverage.

[Ralph]

So, If I've understood this correctly, we'll be sharing that space with live reports and near-live goals/significant action from not another four, but another eight games?

Yes, the ninth game moved to 2pm on the Sunday, Morecambe v Coventry City is the game chosen to be broadcast live overseas, and on Saturday, the BBC have picked Bolton Wanderers v Grimsby Town.

Taunton tweeted that it could be tickets. Need to make their mines up.

Just make the away end all ticket and segregated with our own entrance. We could produce our own tickets then give em the money. Seriously, how hard can it be? They need to get on with it.

Police intelligence has probably told them only 20 Barrow fans are coming.

There's only one set of turnstiles.

I don't know how many gates there are but I think every available point of entry needs to be opened to get everyone in the ground in time as it will take a long while for everyone to get in as 2400 people/6 turnstiles = 400 people per turnstile. No chance everyone will get in on time unless people start queueing at least an hour beforehand. As mentioned previously could they not have people with tickets going through separate gates so they only hand a ticket to the person on the gate and walk in. People will get in quicker this way? Also a chance that more than 2500 could turn up and people won't get in.

They really haven't thought this one through and hope they have a re-think, making it all-ticket is the best/safest way to handle it and it will also be quicker getting in if people already have tickets. Perhaps Barrow could make an offer Taunton to sort out so many tickets for our own fans so we're all guaranteed to get in?

Now that's a novel way to discourage visiting supporters!

I think what Al is saying is if they don't sort it out soon it could all blow up in their and our faces!!!

If you had a repeat of yesterday's travel problems (getting there minutes before kick off) there would definitely be a few hundred sweating on getting in.
Setting off at 6-00am, leaves no room for any delays.

I think the set off time is getting looked at. Not just the shout of those running the bus though

Worst case scenario could be utter chaos frankly

Latest info, or final info? They (Taunton) seem to be changing their minds by the minute.
