2019 Schedule Thread

[The Toe]

I'm inclined to move both of these to the OFFSEASON THREAD!

Perfectly fine. Didn't see anything regarding preseason, and since it was a bunch of dates, 2019 Schedule thread it was.

Interesting development.

 

[Kjbert]

So we’re going to UAE first yet they haven’t announced yet.

I wonder if there are Passport or visa issues or something

The San Jose game on Saturday, Sep 14 has been moved from 7pm to 12:30pm, increasing by 20% the number of weekend day games on the team's home schedule.

And 6 hours and 30 minutes less rest before a third game in eight days.

My rep called me about 10m after I got the email. I was too tired to complain about anything. It's getting old.

 

[Gotham Gator]

Not sure what there is to complain about. This is better.

It could be 90 degrees

Says the dad.

I much prefer night games.

 

[Gotham Gator]

Well, we get higher attendance weekend day than weekend night.

And in mid-September it is a lot more likely to be gorgeous than hot.

It said it was changed due to scheduling conflicts.

What’s the conflict?

What’s the conflict?

A Yankee game three weeks later.

 

[mgarbowski]

There is a Yankee game the following Tuesday night. It has been the practice to have NYCFC games on Saturday afternoon when that is the case to allow 72 hours between games, so this makes sense. What doesn't make sense is why this was scheduled for the evening to begin with since the Yankee game is part of the original schedule.

What’s the conflict?

Maybe they found a new coach but just haven't fired Dome yet. And this new coach has a doctor's appointment that night.

My best guess.

Now I know which game will be my daughter's first!

I’ll take “NYCFC Front office incompetence for 300, Alex”

72 hours, really? Based on last week’s game it’s a couple of guys rolling down sod half-assed.

 

[ManhattanValley]

What is “NYCFC Front office incompetence for 300, Alex”

This is not how Jeopardy works

Duly noted and corrected.

Not sure how I didn't notice this, but there is a 40-day gap between home games after Saturday and then 23 days after that. One home game from Apr 28 through June 28.

If Spurs make the Champions League Final and finish 4th in the Prem, they will have the last game of the 2018 season and the first game of the 2019 season with a quicker turnaround.
