    1pm Kick Off against Hastings ?  Empty 1pm Kick Off against Hastings ?

    The Hastings forum is reporting the KO has been brought forward to 1 pm ? Apparently because ITV want to show extended highlights in the evening and our floodlights are too crap for them. Is this true ? Strange Hastings report it first !

    If it is confirmed I don't think it's a great idea. A lot of Hastings supporters have booked travel arrangements already and are fuming, don't blame them. Also the tickets all say '3pm kick off' - anybody turning up at that time will probably never return to HTFC and will reasonably want a refund. Can only assume we're getting money for being on TV, but that's not all that counts.

    Looking at the Hasting's forum there are a few upset people who have pre-booked train seats that are having to pay large transfer fees to change ( I would be knacked off too). Looks like their coach will be setting off at 5am also, so pitch inspection at 4am?

    Gutted for any Hastings fans who may not be able to make it now. Hopefully they can all get something sorted. Other than that though this is excellent news for the club! I'm assuming this means there will be a couple of different camera angles to enjoy on the highlights. As long as the club gets the word out efficiently then this is going to be a great advertisement for football in Harrogate!

    And all the more reason to practice our vocals this Saturday.........Wow what an opportunity for the lads to show off their silky skills (no scouts are allowed to watch the highlights)!

    Lets try and look on the positive - good news for both clubs in terms of tv support. Unless the bus is coming via Bristol the journey takles no more than 5 hours on a bad day so a set off time off 6.30am isn't that bad and I am led to believe that no Hastings fan will lose out if they have booked a rail ticket all ready. Plus we might miss the rain forecast at 4.30pm Shocked
