So we will kick off a home fixture at three on a Saturday just once in the first four months of the season. That is taking the piss.

One of the reasons I didn't purchase a season ticket. It's really annoying.

Same here. I'm fed up of fixtures being moved.

It isn't as though we have the consolation of putting it down to being the price of success.

It's getting ridiculous now - 7 (Newcastle, Hull, Liverpool, Manc, QPR, Spuds and So'ton) of our first 12 games have been moved. That's what the new television deal means - the armchair fans are more important than us mugs who go to the games.

Why will it change? We have long since been important only because we add atmosphere for the watching voyeurs at home.

I think this gives us more chance of winning the game at least.

Ironically that is Arsenal which is a game that is pretty much always on tv.

And is the only Saturday 3pm I can't make.  Ain't life grand?

I genuinely think that one of the factors in so many of our games being moved is that we're expected to have a horror season. This game may have actual reasons for being moved, but I think broadcasters see the club in such disarray that they're hoping we'll fall apart live on television. The vultures are circling.

We think we've got it bad...

Quote
The early morning 28/3/15 flight Southampton-Newcastle has almost filled up with Eastleigh fans going to Gateshead.
Let's hope the fixture doesn't get moved....


The fixture hasn't been moved (yet).
But ******* Flybe have changed the return flight time from 8pm to 3pm!
For a flight that leaves in 7 months time!
Uproar on the Eastleigh website - they should get their money back, but....

Annoying, I'll have to miss this game now.

It could have been the away league they played in Europe before, so at least they'd be knackered against us!
