| It is Saturday! 3pm
Really didn't think it would've happened as the game wasn't really a good un and their recent results with leicester haven't been good!

| I'm glad it's on Saturday. Good that town are through to the last 16 and a possible money spinning quarter final match. Not a very good game but we took our chances and they didn't and that was the difference.

| Might be a Money spinner for town but a definite money loser for the giants

| Press release from club states the football club must have primacy over the stadium. Good luck to 'em.

Played well, not many shots on goal for either team but thats credit to town with a very 'weak' starting 11. 2 goals from a bit of individual brilliance.
Looking forward to a weekend of sport
....Pitch will be a bog after this weekend!

| have to feel abit for the club on the game day change, they didnt really have much choice
town will of been offered a six figure sum from itv to be shown on tv, if the giants said no then that would not of been good for the relationship of the two clubs which is already strained with the shares issue.
would of been interesting if wigan said no though
hopefully there will be abit of compensation for the giants from the tv money town receive.
anyway if we win happy days!
also bookies put us up at 13/8 to win and +6 on the handicap...got to be worth a punt that at 13/8.

Just to clarify we could not have said no. The FA demand their clubs have first call on their ground so once ITV wanted it the Giants could do nothing about it.
It was never about money or the relationship between HT and HG I am affraid and would have been the same if the game had been a home game for Hull FC, Wigan Warriors, London Irish, The Ospreys etc etc and even if we owned the ground and rented it to a football league club they would still have total control over when their games were played and we would have to move games to suit their needs in circumstances like this.

I would love to know who exactly gave the FA and ITV this god like power that they can dictate what goes on.
Don't get me wrong. Not really bothered about the game move, but why does the FA cup need to come first over everything else. Its not like ITV don't have enough airspace on there 4 channels that they could'nt accommodate the game on a Monday night, therefor going head to head with sky sports Monday night football.
Mind you, not being a footy supporter i would still rather watch 2 teams at the top end of there leagues, rather than 2 teams at the bottom of there leagues only playing mediocre football at best. ITV are probably sulking that they got the bum end of the deal in that regard. 2 hours of a yawn fest coming up, same as the previous game.

I agree but in leagal terms Premier/Football League clubs have to have "Primacy of tenure" before being granted membership. I do wonder if HTFC did mention there was a game planned when the FA or ITV came knocking and if suggestions were made to play on Saturday and have Oldham v Everton on the Sunday. In truth that would be a better game anyway but there you go.
The sad thing is if Leicester Tigers were home on Sunday the game could not have been planned for the Sunday as the police there have banned both sides from being home on the same day and FA rules could not have altered that and obviously ITV would have gone elsewhere rather than having an either or situation which could have left them having nothing to show.
