For me the obvious solution is to play on the Saturday at 3pm. Players don't have to work a full day beforehand & get 6 days rest. Club doesn't lose out as most fans going to Wembley will be going down on the day plus the only football being played is the FA Cup Final in the evening.
I realise a few people do work on Saturdays but if announced today/tomorrow they have two months to book time off.

As sad as it is the FA Cup final would probably take more off the gate than our own football team playing at Wembley. Sad times.

Reality check is the gate would be significantly reduced if played on sun whatever some may think!! sat would have to be best option regarding two part timers and maybe this game do a initiative to try and get as many as possible down theres plenty of time between now and then

How? It now kicks off at 5:30-ish. If we kick of at 3pm it gives plenty of time to get to pub unless we have a load of West Ham/Crystal Palace/Watford fans

1615 KO for Town.

I hope commonsense prevails and the Oldham game is switched to a different date, preferably 24 hours earlier. To play the game at the same time as a Wembley final would be crass. Apart from the odd numpty on either side there's a vast number of people who follow both games and teams, just from the odd brief conversations I've had already there's a number of Fax supporters heading down on the 22nd.....myself included.

In my very humble opinion, for what it's worth I think our game should be moved.
I think a lot of the reasons some of us have a down on the football club is because of the numpties on their forum who can't forgive us for being successful.
Some of our supporters are also Town fans and for them and the few other reasonable supporters this is a great day.
It wouldn't hurt to move our fixture if Oldham agree.

Not sure about the 'can't forgive us for being successfull'
quote,that has never come across to me as a reason for differences between the clubs supporters.Hope the game is moved but i do agree with other posters that the attendance will be affected anyway.

The point to me is that most of the volunteers don't pay to get in , the people on the gates might get paid, a lot of the supporters have season tickets so they will be included in the attendance. So lets see what the figures for the game are and if they are so dire as what is being talked about, the club could allways move the game the next time the pub team get to Wembley.

I`m not sure what the Club will decide to do about this fixture but whatever they come up with should be decided by what is best for our Club . They need to take into consideration several things and I hope they ignore all ridiculous suggestions of Thur` / Fri` night kick offs which means we lose people on the gate anyway and part time players working and then playing .
Also they need to consider the Oldham Club and their supporters why should they be messed about as I don`t think they would give two hooks about Halifax FC being at Wembley .
I also don`t want it moving to a Sat` as I do other things on a Saturday and only would want to swop my arrangments for something important to our Club and to me this does not fall into that category .
Most of the people who work at the stadium on match days as far as I am aware are not volunteers they are paid and if any Fax fans wish to follow the Town to London then of course they are perfectly at liberty to do so . Does every one not think that by moving the match to a differant time a similar number will not be missing anyway simply because it`s been switched it`s just not fair on the majority of Fax and Oldham fans .
However if the Rugby Club decide it is going to be a major problem and that the match needs moving I will be there supporting but some may not be able to do so .

Then with respect, why are they so bitter?
