Old Firm 2nd January 2023

[DerekTheElephant]

Trying to sort out my leave from work.

Is the above date set in stone or could it yet be moved? I see the 3rd is also a public holiday.

Cheers

 

[Jim Lahey]

It will all depend on how well celtic are doing. If rhey are struggling in the league frau sturgeon will get it moved to suit them

 

[BillyBoys]

Would be surprised if it is moved to the 3rd as that is only a Scottish Bank Holiday.

 

[Frank Harper]

Still showing as 2nd at 3pm. Bit of a pain as I too am trying to organise travel.

It won't be 3pm.

 

[1BadMouse]

It won't be 3pm.

Im in same boat regards travel but I cannot see it any other date other than the 2nd imo but no chance it’ll be 3pm imo

 

[Swindon Gers]

I’m hoping the kick off time is brought forward, my flight home is 7.30pm

 

[Barrymoped]

I’m sure it will be the 2nd, but at lunchtime, not 3pm

 

[djc1980]

It'll be 2nd at 12 or 12.30

 

[rangeral]

Won't be 3pm on the 2nd

3rd option due it been a holiday in Scotland

Will be down to Sky when it played

Looks like an early rise or extra night. Prices are quite good at present.

 

[hunter1rfc]

New year eve hopefully it gets moved to

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Absolute bastard of a day to try get off work.

 

[Louch]

2nd at 12 the most likely. 3rd most of skys audience will be back at work, so could only be an evening game that the police like to avoid if they can.

 

[scottyrko]

i would love a 3pm ko however not going to happen

 

[Muzza]

English Premier League has a full card on the 2nd. Is there a chance our game could be moved to 3rd?

 

[Delboy1962]

New year eve hopefully it gets moved to

Licencing Board will be up in arms if it is.
It was New Years Eve awhile back and it affected the pub trade that night as folk feared there would be trouble in Glasgow City Centre.

 

[TheRoofeIsOnFire]

Give us the 2nd at 7:45!

I'd also settle for 5:30

 

[OohAhHuistra]

Drink enough on New Year’s Eve with an old firm ya mad man

Depends on what Sky are broadcasting from the EPL and if that includes the 12.30pm slot

Provisional date EPL TV section for December/January is 11th October so guess we will have a better chance of known then

Might book now just to be on safe side

 

[Somemightsay]

I heard Celtic are off to Dubai that weekend.

 

[RobbenHood]

7.45pm would be sensational. Would absolutely love that

Celtic always seem to get them which is a bit unfair. Off the top of my head I can think of 5 at Parkhead since 2008 and we’ve had 0

 

[OptimusPrime]

It'll prob stay the 2nd around 12 or 12.30 ko.

Sky have 4 days to show those round of fixtures - 2nd, 3rd, 4th,5th according to this article (last paragraph) https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61795955. They'll prob use the OF game as a lead in to a 2.30 ko on the 2nd

 

[Rt. Hon. Bearman]

They’ll probably move it to midday, then at the end of the game they’ll have 5 minutes analysis before cutting away to show Rotherham v Hull or some other heap of shit match.

I hate Sky.

2 were on account of their fixture list manipulation. PO'D and last season's COVID nonsense to let them strengthen their team.

 

[blueismycolour]

I'm booked up for flying back doon the road at half 7 on the 2nd, hope it's not changed.

You on the Bristol flight mate

%^*& that, our evening kick off record against them is atrocious.

Only one way to sort that

Absolutely none I'd imagine. Plenty of folk don't get the 2 days holiday at New Year and will be back at work on the 3rd.

It'll be 12/12.30 on the 2nd.

 

[PT98]

I'm off all week so don't give a %^*& when it is. Can drink myself into a stupor any time/day

Agreed will be 12pm on 2nd.
Most of the uk will be back to work on the 3rd sky wont want it on that day.

 

[BajanBear]

I've booked flights on the assumption it will be noon or 1230 on the 2nd. I wouldn't be surprised to have those plans fk'd for one reason or another.

 

[Cathcart Bear]

Any chance it may be 31st Dec ?

 

[Blues and Royals]

It will all depend on how well celtic are doing. If rhey are struggling in the league frau sturgeon will get it moved to suit them

Yes it would then be moved back to late March or April.

 

[Chopper]

Mrs bought tickets for Monster Trucks at the Hydro on the 2nd because it is on at 3. Show is on at 10.30 in the morning. Crap!!

 

[bluetonic]

League Cup semi?

 

[rangeral]

Can't see that happening not after 2016 and 'issues' about that it getting played on that date

 

[blueismycolour]

You on the Bristol flight mate

Aye, fly up on the 1st.

 

[Swindon Gers]

Aye, fly up on the 1st.

Same as mate for the 2nd, I’m on the 7.30pm from Bristol on the 1st

 

[Barrhead Bluenose]

League Cup semi?

Prso and Arveladze.

 

[Bearsden Bear]

Prso and Arveladze.

A truly unforgettable night.

 

[Swindon Gers]

I see the club website has confirmed 2nd January with the kick off being brought forward to 12.30pm, excellent, was sweating on getting back to the airport for my flight back to Bristol that same evening.
