Hi everyone,
I'm thinking of flying in for the derby on December 8th. It's still showing up as a Saturday 3pm game. In all likelihood this will be moved. Does anyone know when a final decision is made on the date/time for the game? Also, is it likely to be switched to the early Saturday Kick off?
Thanks
Ian

Well it's bound to be on telly so it won't be at 3PM. I think they prefer to have Manchester derbies earlier rather than later so people can't go on the lash before the game.
