Bad decisions for the fans who go to most away games but good for the rest of us who used to go to some away games up north but prefer the sofa end now.
I thought that more notice was to be given of TV enforced rearrangements A month is more than previously and early enough to avoid messing up people's decisions about spending on tickets but I thought it was to be longer still?

Longer for the first half of the season or so and then a month onwards. Given the price of train tickets that really isn’t enough. Not expecting the second half to be selected at once but 6 weeks notice would be good at least

Like said above it is now a months notice. If we're doing well towards the end of the season I imagine this will put games like Wrexham, Huddersfield, Barnsley and Wycombe at risk. Proper pain in the arse. Will still probably do Stockport but annoying we now have to hold on for a while in booking trains and that
Booked our trains ages ago to get cheap deal, but we get to Stockport at 11.56, so not an issue
Has buggered up my planned pub crawl up the high street pre-match though - I had done meticulous research, incl ringing pubs and asking about their away fan policy 🙄
At least won’t get home at stupid o’clock - IF we can change return journey ……….

Or a post match pub crawl up the high street to celebrate our 1-1 draw
Sympathy for people who have booked train tickets, if that is still a thing.
It is and we have....
really annoying, my sympathies
We get in at 12:09 so should just about be okay - a first world problem but the best bit of an away game is the pre match pub so sad to be losing that….

😂
Not a place I want to spend post match in any longer than needed
Yep we are now like the French, Polish, Spanish leagues where you can't plan anything until 4 weeks before the fixture.
There's no going back now, booking cheap trains 3 months before a game is a thing of the past.
Since lockdown i never book trains that early, i normally wait until about month before a fixture, also i've noticed sometimes cheaper advance fares are still available then, but maybe i'm fortunate that i have a railcard.

They had better options the week before, but moving the Orient game would have caused few problems for most of us
I always plan to arrive by train by noon for Saturday 15.00ko away games.

Don't sit on the fence !
The reason as you know why Premier footballers are multi millionaires is because of Sky, BT and the international selling of matches on TV.
Is there always more notice for when Premier games are going to be on TV ?
How much do League 1 teams make when they are shown ?
And the difference between a named match on Sky as opposed to the 'Now' selection of EFL games that start 5 minutes before KO.
Lots of Questions!
I was gonna go to this.
Not now though
Wankers
Mind you Man utd and Liverpool etc have it worse.
Fuck Sky
