It is one of the longest away trips in the season calendar for Cardiff City fans, the trip to Newcastle. It is a distances of around 315 miles and will take around 6hr plus on the supporters coach depending on traffic. On a Saturday with a 3pm kick-off it is a tough trip, but on a Friday night, what a joke.
The Newcastle game was scheduled from Saturday February 6th at St James Park, but with archrivals Sunderland playing Wigan on the same day and time something have to give and it was the Championship game.
Therefore, the Cardiff fans have to make the long trip on the 5th a Friday night with a 7:45pm kick-off. This news is bound to hit the travailing support for the game and wreck the plans of fans who had booked ahead. Cardiff could have been expecting to have taken the up the full away support allocation if the game was on a Saturday.
There is little chance the game being on TV, Sky stopped doing Friday night football sometime go maybe they could have a change of heart for this game. While the BBC are the only other hope but there normal show games on a Saturday night or Sunday.

This game will attract around 10,000 more fans than sunderland and wigan.
Sunderland and wigan are 150 miles apart, it just shows the authorities don't have a clue
