Because it puts the icing on the cake leaving the Amex when we win & seeing that palace have lost.

Rumour has it that Derby requested to play on Friday, because they've got a mid week game & want some time to rest their players

Don't know how much truth is in it though

It`s so it doesn`t clash with the annual Croydon Gypsy Horse Fair.

When I first read that I thought what a load of bollocks but according to the DERBY telegraph it is true.Which suprised me a bit considering they have a very young squad who shouldn't need extra time to rest.Also I'm sure attendances will be lower on a Friday night especially visiting supporters.

It because Nigel clough requested that he wanted to play Friday to prepare better for the forth coming tues game

Can any club do this or do they have to get agreement from the F.A & their opponents.

But everyone else is playing Saturday/Tuesday why should they get special treatment.

Would suit Palace as well. they are at home to Hull.
