what needs to happen for Villa game to change.
A miracle if we are still in the cup!! But I think if either of us make it to the quarters and play our game on the Sunday then the match will move. It could move anyway just for tv.
I don't see why it would. Had a quick look and we are broadly paying the same amount of evening games as we always have done - 8 so far this season in all competitions including the next 4 scheduled.14 last season including Europe, 11 the season before and 14 the season before that. 13 in our last Championship season. The only difference is we have all got whingier.
Yeah. Loads more Sunday 2pm games, and that's about it.
Older and whingier coupled with all these late games at renewal time !!

Our best two home games this season - Spurs and Man City - have been evening games. Our worst - Ipswich, Southampton, Wolves, Palace - were 3pm Saturday kickoffs. Just sayin’..
Spurs was 4.30 kick off, still in the afternoon and Palace was 2pm and City was 5.30 so still really the afternoon.
7.30, 7.45 and 8 are evening kick off times IMO.
The 2 games we won are obviously going to be our best…..just sayin’..

Trouble is, as I found out, missing games even if you put them on the exchange eventually leads to a phone call saying that you're not going to be invited to renew your ticket for the next season.

So you were contacted even though you put your tickets on the exchange?

Yep, this was about 6 years ago so policy might have changed now.
Whilst I'm not denying we've got whinier back in the Championship season we were getting 25k crowds, sometimes less for those evening games. Makes a big difference to train and car park queues having 5k less people trying to get home.

Mine will all be on the exchange, then. I take my almost 80 year old Father-in-Law with me to home games who is usually in bed by 9.30pm. I've taken him to couple of these stupid 8pm kick-offs and it's ruined him the next day. Personally I don't like them either....
I loved the evening games in the Championship

Well, at least there'll be a good crowd for the Fulham game, although I don't think a move to an evening would have bothered us too much as a lot I know go via Lewes.

You still have to attend 5 games per season in person even if you list the other 14 matches
