Don't see why they couldn't have played both on the Saturday back to back.

This is the CC semi finals and all fans deserve the opportunity to be there, and playing Friday night will prevent a fair few from doing so im sure.

Daily Mail reporting the Semi is at Wembley!!!

Not what the article says. Think the headline is just wrong.

Live on national TV free to air who can complain? We have been wanting this for years & people still moan.

Re: Friday night Semi : Mon Jun 29, 2015 11:12 am  

I'm assuming it's at 8pm on the friday? Have they said it'll be BBC 1 or 2?

If so who can complain at a prime time TV slot on a Friday night on the national broadcaster.

I suspect we may get pushed on to BBC 3 at the time but even that's not to be sniffed at.

Both CC semi finals have always been shown free to air as long as i can remember and always on either Saturday or Sunday which is probably why people are(and quite rightly imo) complaining.

Yeh screw the fans for a worse TV spot, what's to be happy about?

Re: Friday night Semi : Mon Jun 29, 2015 11:42 am  

Just from a Rovers fans point of view. I will be going regardless, but it's a shame it will be a Friday. I've been waiting years to get to a semi final and it would be nice if a whole day could be made of it.
Now it will be a rush home from work to get there in time, which will be the same for most fans I assume.

Depends where it is, might just make kick off if its Donny or Headingley but if it's Lancashire I will have no chance
