Games Moved for TV

[dave.woodhall]

The club obligingly moved a match against Reading from Good Friday to the Saturday, the only Championship match on a Saturday that weekend. We then played Fulham in midweek. Lost both matches 3-1. Thanks very much God.

I think that on the pros and cons ledger, Christianity is still in our good books.

We will not play over Easter, which is weird.

Yeah, that's a point. Couldn't one of Burnley's games have been played the Fri and the other the Mon? Say W Ham A on the Fri and us on the Mon so we don't clash with SHA

No that wouldn't work, as West Ham are playing Lyon in the Europa League QF on Thursday April 14th.

Although it could if we were to play Burnley on the Friday and West Ham played at Burnley on the Monday

We're going to finish the season on 36 games with a weighted average number of points for our games against Burnley and Liverpool, aren't we? It'll probably bump our points total by a measly one. Down with the Preeemier League!

That's a moot point

Help a man out here, soothsayers. I’m holding back on buying a ticket for something on Weds 4th May in case we rearrange a game for the same date. What to do?

Well exactly. It's the complete lack of respect that the fixture schedulers are showing for the lives of fans. Do they think that football is our only social interest?

You think anyone in charge of football cares about the impact on match going fans at a time when clubs have season ticket waiting lists of several thousands?!

Crack on, the BSC Final is that night at the Home Of Football. Three Side City vs Lemmington.

The club has just put tickets for the Liverpool game on sale from 5pm today, but there's no date or kickoff time because Liverpool are in the FA Cup semis.

So buy a ticket for something that you have no idea when it will be held - and hope that it doesn't clash with something that you need to be at or can't postpone.

Fans once again being treated appallingly.

I just can't believe that the Burnley and Liverpool games have still not been rescheduled. And it's what, just 8 weeks to the end of the season now? Cutting it fine or what?

The Burnley game is crying out to be rescheduled for the 16th and still has not been fixed for then. Why?

Have we ever got so close to the end of a season without playing one of the teams?

We actually played Everton last year within a week in May so think that was latest any top flight teams have ever gone without playing each other once in a league season.

I'm baffled why we haven't played Burnley yet either. It wasn't originally a TV game which seems to cause some issues with rescheduling games now.

We could've easily played them the midweek between West Ham and Arsenal for example on the Wednesday evening unless that was going to disrupt the players outing to Cheltenham and they didn't want it then.

Burnley are playing Everton next week and that game was also cancelled over xmas.

Think with Liverpool it's a case of waiting to see what happens in FA cup and CL. I get the feeling TV companies will want to place it last midweek of the season to ramp up the drama but if Palace make the cup final we'd have to play them that midweek and Liverpool will probably go early May in the free midweek between CL QFs and SFs as they should beat Benfica.

In Sheffield for the snooker 26th-28th April so guaranteed they move a Villa home game to then to piss me off.

Make sure to suport the Leadmill when you're there, in danger of closure.

The Leadmill is but the venue itself isn't.

Change of management who've looked after it for 42 years and who own rights to the name, I believe. Won't be the same.
