These Blades fans are up in arms after details were released regarding the team’s clash with Arsenal in the quarter-final of the F.A Cup.
There are three things guaranteed in life. Death, taxes and football fans complaining about changes to kick-off times. At least I’m pretty sure that’s how the saying goes.
And even if it isn’t it’s still pretty much a staple of life as a football fan. It was announced yesterday that the Blades’ game against Arsenal at Bramall Lane will take place on Sunday 22nd March with a kick-off time of 1:30 pm, with the game being shown on BT Sport.
Are you feeling confident with the F.A Cup draw?
Yes
No
However, it wasn’t the game itself that people were concerned about, indeed the general concern amongst the fans was that it was going to ruin their plans for that day, especially considering that it happens to fall on a certain holiday.

I wonder if people would have been happier if the game was on Friday night, as the rumours on social media seemed to suggest was going to be the case.
It’s never about the fans only about the money the TV companies can make
Who decided that a dinner time game on Mothers Day was a good idea, and of course they took the time to consult the paying fans, yeh

I’m a season ticket holder. I just assumed I’d be able to buy a ticket for my own seat. WRONG! When I went to buy my ticket online the seat I have with my season ticket had already been sold. SHAMBLES.
It’s a pity Wilder doesn’t manage the clubs administration too.
