Anyone know why this is? Not another game being moved for TV surely?

 

[clarkey]

No idea, wild guess, not to do with their JPT game is it?

 

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

Because its being played on Thursday night!

 

[Beach Hut]

It is on the previous Thursday night

 

[Statto]

It was announced Just after the fixtures came out. Its on a thursday night now!

 

[Mellotron]

Well they should update it on BBC Sport rather than confusing and exciting me.

 

[Beach Hut]

As aside is it on Sky or not ?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Maybe streamed on the BBC website? Thursday seems like an odd day.

 

[BIRCHYBOY27]

Good friday next day

 

[Statto]

As far as I can remember it IS NOT being shown on tv.

is it something to do with debry(ish) seaside matches been banned on a bank holiday weekend

 

[Easy 10]

Its a right SHIT reason about not wanting a derby match at Withdean on the Easter weekend.
And the club tried to dress it up like a FAVOUR to everyone, by saying it gives the fans a "long bank holiday weekend to enjoy", or somesuch. Yes thank you very much, I'll probably be dragged out SHOPPING or to B&Q that afternoon now, when I should have been in my seat watching our soccerflids lose again.

Thursday night. Yeah, brill. Thanks.

Actually pleased with this as away early on the Saturday

 

[Shammo]

I seem to remember a quote from Slade about it changing to Thursday night to give us more time to prepare for Hartlepool away on the Bank Holiday Monday

This was the "official" reason given by the club.

3 p.m. on Good Friday afternoon would have been fine, but a Thursday evening is a right pain if you live out of the area

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

A mate of mine is almost CERTAIN to hit the apple juice that afternoon so maybe I can relieve him of his ticket if he's in no fit state to go!

Especially if you have to rely on a chauffeur
