Because they were worried about overwhelming TV audiences with too much football and decided everyone needed a day off.
Or, they weren't sure how to big up Jorginho making 454787864484684 passes totalling 5 yards.

Hang on.....if it is not on TV. WTF Did we move it from Saturday at 3 o'clock?

Not awoke
Because Sky and BT never like switching kick off times
Very good question

Someone in China thinks they want to watch it then?

Because 1.30pm is the general time on NSC, where the average audience is in attendance, for the impending melt down!

So effing what? We are not involved. That is their own lookout.
We should have told them to foxtrot Oscar.
Correct, and established protocol. Get over it

Be thankful it is at least an acceptable time with transport available.
Bet there will be a bus replacement service for trains north of Brighton.........
Spare a thought for me. I booked flight out of Gatwick rather than Birmingham on 16th so that I could go to the match on the 15th. The match is changed to the 16th
Now I am stuck with having to pay for extra trains to London and Gatwick. A Hotel in Gatwick Airport on 15th and I don't even get to go to the match. I was raging when the dates got changed due to Chelsea's Europa League match. A competition no one watches and no one cares about. Including Chelsea. They will probably send their reserves to play on the Thursday night
First World problems eh [emoji23]
Why didn’t you wait until the TV games were announced before making your arrangements?

To be fair, when the fixtures were released we knew Chelsea would be in the Europa league, and we knew what weeks the Europa League matches would be. I'm not saying I'd have been organised enough to work this out, but then it sounds like you did quite a bit of thinking/planning around this.

It was obvious the game wouldn't be played on the Saturday after the Europa league group fixtures were released. Had to be either Sunday or Monday depending on any TV coverage.
Sounds like a schoolboy error in booking flights without considering the obvious

Because there are times when you just can’t do that.
I have the fixture list on my wall but there are times when you have to commit before you know.
I speak from a lot of experience
