Hope to get over for the league game at Eastlands.
Anyone know when the TV game schedule, for April and May is announced?

Good question Curlie.
Have hotel and flights booked already and hoping that the game stays on the Saturday. It's currently listed as 3PM KO on Sat 17th of April so I presume that that will change to 1PM at least.
Anyone know how likely it is to be moved to Sunday?

I'd say the same Sky will be all over that depending on where we all are in the table at that time.

If studying for university will allow me, I might plan a trip for this one as a self birthday present, so knowing if it will be moved to the 18th as soon as possible would be great. I'll just have to keep an eye on the fixtures on the Prem site I guess.

The March televised games were announced on 22 Jan, so if that's anything to go by then the April games could be announced in another couple of weeks or so.
I guess there will be up to four televised games that weekend, two on the Saturday and two on the Sunday. I can only remember one time in the last few years when it wasn't moved for TV, and I think they tend to save the tastiest games for the Sunday so that would be my guess.

12.45 Saturday or 13.30 Sunday. I really can't see it being on at any other time. Although what happens with televised Football never ceases to amaze me!

At this stage of the season, club reckon it could be 3 to 5 weeks before we hear the TV game schedule for the weekend of the derby.
Looks like it is a fly in Sat morning and back out Sun evening

I really don't have the money for it, but I would love to make it to a City game one more time this season, and what better game ... The only problem is getting a ticket ... In order to get a cheap flight and cheap hotel room I need to book early.
