jw1739 Posted January 22 Author Report Share Posted January 22 (edited) @haz But elsewhere I have seen 7.30 p.m. listed as the starting time. The official AO site does not give a starting time. So I don't know WTF is actually going on. My best guess is evening at 7.30 - 8.30 p.m. I wonder why we have to have these fixture conflicts...

Surely it's scheduled before, so that we may get a bigger crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fensaddler Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Missed all the tennis so far and happy for ot to remain that way. Just don't want to have to encounter them to and from the match. In my experience they tend to be both as numerous and alarming as Vuck fans. I can do without close proximity to either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like @fensaddler I couldn't care a toss about the tennis. It's the public transport issues that are my concern. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does start at 7:30, travel to game will be in the opposite direction to the AO Crowds. If anything, there will be more PT services available.

Poor scheduling by APL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great chance to go further ahead at the top. We need to address our wastefulness in front of goal and convert more opportunities to score.

haz Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago Really need to capitalise on the draws this round and get the win tomorrow. CCM, WSW, and Nix all only got a point. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
