Northern Ireland blogger Steve seems to be a happy Northern Ireland fan.
3pm Confirmed: We're in business say's Steve. What is he on about?
Well,
England play Northern Ireland Saturday 26 March 2005
Old Trafford Manchester, Kick Off time 3.00pm but
wanted the kick off time to be changed - but were refused by those in the know at
the Greater Manchester PoliceThe
FA had hoped the match, which takes place on 26 March, might be able to have a kick-off later on in the day so as to avoid a clash with the many other fixtures going on at the same time but police advice has made the afternoon kick-off an imperative.
Northern Ireland Steve blogged :: "The move will be welcomed by
NI fans who had already booked Saturday evening flights to the next game in
Poland" (
Poland FA )
