    FFS a tuesday!
    Police advice is bull, what trouble would we have with Brighton and why would the day of the week make any difference?

    I know, both changes are a joke.

    I'm utterly p*ssed off with the way our fixtures always seem to fall. Been looking forward to going to Brighton for years, and twice now we've had it on freezing mid-week December nights, and now finally an afternoon game and its switched to another evening kick off on a working day.

    I prefer a 1pm kick-off on Boxing Day - means you get home a bit earler & still have time to enjoy some xmas cheer (tv progs, food etc)

    Old bill take the piss, what trouble would there be on a Monday that wouldn't happen on a Tuesday if people really wanted it to???

    Stupid out-dated rule.

    It's only because it's the Easter bank holiday so they reckon half of London will be in Brighton that day.

    But I agree, they should give it to us in late April on a Saturday for once

    Couldn't they have just reversed the Brighton fixture so we could have a home game on the bank holiday?

    FFS , going to be a right pain in the arse getting back from Brighton now. Will have to hope for the club to do some decent Valley away pick ups for this game.

    Now there's a clever idea.

    And everyone would still get their fix of Bank Holiday football.

    What was the reasoning for the Watford change?

    I would think that either palarse or millwall would be at home on that day.

    Not sure you're allowed to MOG. Copyright laws and all that.

    Why dont they make these changes BEFORE they tell the fans about them? The club have them early anyway under embargo, surely show them to the police first who can poke their ore's in and make changes before fans get excited about fixtures that never stay where they were worked out to be?

    Police reasons: get home for their tea on time?

    So you're a moderator. Is this a new "item showing" or has the member/moderator always shown & I've just never noticed for years ?

    Police overtime payments on Bank Holidays would be a major factor I assume.

    I've never noticed it before, but I have been editing peoples posts for my own amusement for years! :-)
