Yeah, no way will this game be the Friday now as Palace play a Conference League qualifier on the Thursday.

It will have to be the sunday, it can't shift to the Monday as it is an International week.

Pretty pathetic that there's a two week break  after only 3 league games.

Playing Palace, on a Sunday, at the end of the school holidays at 7pm in the evening.

Typing that is depressing on it's own. Fucking hell.

That kick off time is ridiculous. Absolutely no need for it.

Great, I arranged to be in London on the Sunday based on the Friday fixture being set.  What will piss me off even more is if the club implement the proposed rule that ST holders can only miss X games a season, when they're moving games with a couple of weeks notice.

Not the clubs fault they've had to move this but they should at least ensure the Palace game is not included in any proposed rule for season ticket holders.

It should never have been put on the Friday in the first place. There was always a decent chance Palace would be playing on Thursday. Incredibly shit planning by the league.

No, it's not. Palace have been stitched-up. As if Marinakis putting his power at Forest in a "blind trust" made any difference to who runs Forest. His power and interest if anything grew, ie the post-match march onto the pitch after their poor result against Lesta.
That's what you meant...right...?

PrAVda strikes again.
Change of Palace date announced on app. Sync the fixture list with my calendar and to no one’s surprise it still lists the Palace match for the Friday.

Not really.

Sky spent the summer endlessly marketing to their subscribers they now can show all the Sunday 2pm games (which is a good thing). And then don't put this game in that slot....

It's something to do with this being originally an exclusive pick for the Friday night and they want to keep it that way rather than lumping it in with the other 2pm games so would rather do it and inconvenience 40k fans in the process.
