FA Cup 2024/25

Boreham Wood have done what they usually do and announce out of nowhere that our game with them will be on the Sunday with a 2pm kick off.

Do the BBC still show highlights from games in a Soccer Saturday style programme?

I presume so, they have said that the game is not being broadcast live in the UK.

Most of Weston are Bristol City fans anyway aren't they. When we play them in pre-season there's always loads of BC shirts in the crowd

Well they have to get some excitement somewhere. A Rovers/WSM fan on our forum thinks they have a fairly equal mix of Rovers and City at WSM, although i always associated Somerset with City

You're wrong there. It is 50/50. In fact Rovers have a thriving supporters club there. Bournville estate is Gas as well.

Boreham Wood stuck our ticket allocation on sale via their website (e-tickets), a load of us then started trying to buy them, only there was a fault on the buying page.

Loads of our fans started messaging their X account, which then started replying to our fans with a basic: “we’re currently having issues with our systems, please call the club on this number, but be aware lines are busy so no one will probably pick up”

After a bit of random clicking I managed to figure out the problem and how to fix it.

Never change Boreham Wood, you bunch of fucking idiots.

Been moved to Sunday 2pm due to the extended highlight bollocks, probably worth about 50p between both clubs.

Why do they have to move the kick off for extended highlights?

It hasn't been the highlights show for a few years, that used to be 8 games at the same time, they're moved now for international TV coverage so you can't even watch it legally in this country, we had the same at Curzon the other year.

So it’s overseas BBC?

Fair enough, I guess it's not the live at the time thing though?

 

[denzel ecfc]

That makes no sense, why would you change the time just to get a highlights programme?

Isn’t it like a final score type show where they go live to all the games they pick? And can show goals and highlights?
