    Barry wants to go to the England game on Saturday. Simple as that.

    Balls did they ask. If it's played on Saturday they bring maybe 300 to 400, Friday night be lucky to see 100 of them

    Meanwhile Barry gets a double dip on the buffet and our fans get shafted

    Didn't it get said at fans forum that Wilson asked for it to be moved as he thinks teams don't like coming to Oakwell under the lights.

    as if anybody is bothered about missing an England game these days, big difference is a lot of fans (myself included) can't get to night matches!!

    I thought I heard Colchester requested the move and Wilson was happy to do it as he believes the atmosphere at night games at Oakwell can be superior.

    Swings and roundabouts I suppose. Some people will be unhappy about the move, it will inconvenience them or they won't be able to attend at all. They have a point. However, some people will now attend who would not have been able had it been on the Saturday, due to work or other commitments.

    Yeah I saw that posted on here too. Also that Wilson was happy having an extra day before we went to Chesterfield.
