This is really pissing me off now, and we haven't even had the usual shifting for TV purposes yet,.... I have a 300 mile round trip, night games are a real chore.
Couldn't possibly have that on a bank holiday could we? Maybe 3,000 would travel from SE London at most, and Charlton have an appalling history of violence don't they? Thanks for that Sussex Police.

Is that still because of that stupid rule about not being allowed home games on a Bank Holiday Monday? Does that still exist?

This is getting beyond a f***ing joke.

I've forgotten the reason for that rule, or exactly what it is to tbh. Was it something to do with seaside towns not being allowed bank holiday home games as a result of Leeds smashing up Bournemouth years ago?
Guys, this was nothing to do with us. The two clubs have agreed this.
Just for clarification. A fixture questionnaire is sent to the police and club at the end of March. We sit down with the club and go through dates that we request to be avoided. These were for the Lib Dem conference and Pride. We made no request to move any bank holiday games.
After the fixtures come out, the clubs tend to look at them and make their own arrangements such as local agreements (University etc).

I'm really sick of having so many evening games, what happened to the 3pm Saturday kick off. Grrrrr.
Indeed. Seeing how quick Gus was to move the Easter bank holiday fixtures further apart this year - I suspect the club were delighted to move it to Tuesday night giving an extra day's rest for the players.
And for every fan that can't go to the rearranged game, chances are there will be someone that can now go when they couldn't before.

This will be our first and so far only evening game (at home) in 2013.

So is it likely , as far as the league stands , that any more may be changed?

Don't wait for me!
I like night games.
Sorry, just adding a bit of balance.

Yes but 6th of the Season in 23 (5 before January), that's a quarter of the season a pretty significant park.
Half of our games in the first part of the season will be evening games. I find it very difficult to make them and likewise my father as he works evenings. It just makes me think it's not worth a season ticket if I end up not being able to go to half the games because they are now in the evenings because the first time someone says they're hold a school fete in the area the fixtures change.

Still can do both games. Must be a pain if you have far to travel though.

This was announced yesterday if you dont know. Everyone knows what Bank Holidays in Brighton are always like anyway, constant protests and a shedload of day visitors. Would of been heaving so the last thing the Police would have wanted is a game on that day.
