I'd be interested to read the rationale. What's changed between when the fixture was set for Sunday and today?

Unfortunately with my cycle ride to austria, the only 3 home games I can go to now are CP, SU and leeds. Not a great time to do a charity cycle ride!!

I guess they realised that long before then the Champions would be sorted, and who wants to watch the also rans anyway?  ? |

Saturday home match always welcomed Not if you've organise your life around them being on another day. Having watched WBA & Newcastle given the Championship trophy the last two year I will probably have to miss this now. |

Bang out of order in my opinion.
All for Sky TV, a whole day's fixtures get moved with a stupid time.
Bang out of order and another first for Sky!!!

In my ideal world football would always be played on a Saturday, ideally kicking off at 1pm.
However, whilst this is great for me, what about Jersey, Froggy and others who have already booked and paid for their travel and hotels?
To late to change it now in my opinion and another piss take of the actual fans for the sake of the plastic masses sitting at home on couches 'supporting' their teams.

Sky move a whole league's fixtures to ensure nothing interferes with their coverage of manure v chelshit.
Who'd have thunk it.
Marky, did you mean Saturday 1pm?

money talks bullshit walks, its not on that people will miss the game, but if we have to win to go up then if i was you jersey i would say sod work things like the r's going up dont happen every day unlike work which seems to happen every day, i'll be honest there has been a couple of times in the past where i have put the r's over work and been within a whisker of the sack, would i do it again? of course, but i suppose we all have different circumstances but do your best jersey, be a shame to miss out on this one.
