    As the Isley Brothers sang.......

    ....... tell me it is just a rumour baby.

    Please!!!!

    Just read elswhere that someone has seen an internal police memo and.............. the Red Dogs game is, apparently, being put back to the Monday evening.

    Flights and hotel booked 2months ago. Flying in Friday morning early, flying out Sunday evening in order to cover as many eventualities as possible........

    ........ Monday game? The absolute b'stards!!!

    Monday night football? I love it!

    But it should be pretty dumb to have this game at night, there are reasons we all know why they always have this as a lunch time kick-off. Pub brawls and all sorts of nonsense will follow if the game doesn't end in a draw.

    Mate has just sent me a copy of the email
    Just mentioning something about a strong rumour that game is to be moved so police leave will be cancelled that day
    I can’t see it being allowed myself but it is Sky we’re talking about

    Yes contracted to Sky and they tell you when your playing But would have thought police would have an input on it Can't see it happening health and safety and all that

    Indeed. The same reason Plod won't allow a 15:00 start has to be valid for 19:45 of a Monday. They will all be in the pubs from 12:00 or earlier......

    Hotel extension booked and paid. Check

    New flight back home booked and paid. Check

    Match day tickets ordered. Check............ and they aren't even on sale yet

    Bloody expensive game this will be. A 3 day weekend has just become a 5 day mini break. £500 each it will cost. Worth it though.

    I feel sorry for all those people that are on afternoons that now can’t go
    Two lads who sit on same row as me work at Toyota. Hope they’re not on nights, they have to leave at half time

    On FB, most Forest fans are equally peeved. I hope the same doesn't happen to the return fixture.

    My mucker from Stockport is driving down as the one train post match leaves Derby at 22:31, which doesn't present a problem. However, It doesn't get him back to Stockport (changes at Sheffield and Manc Picadilly) until 05:11..........
