Had wanted to get to this game but train issues and the change of match time make it impossible. It was originally changed so that it could be on tv, but that was to be confirmed. I haven't seen any confirmation either way. Does anyone know when this will be decided. Have I missed some news?

Don't think it was ever planned to be on the TV schedule. Our games against West Ham, Saints and Stoke are scheduled so far.

It was changed for 'potential' TV coverage. But isn't on in this country as far as I know. A bit of a puzzle. It's nothing at all to do with Everton's European match as that's the following week. Games get moved to Sunday when teams play on the Thursday prior to allow recovery time.

Correct. A Championship game was chosen to be shown instead

It is fairly ridiculous that a Saturday 3 p.m fixture is lost due to 'potentially' being on tv.
Agreed. Bloody annoying and expensive too if you've already given up the Saturday's work for the game and now have to cancel Sunday as well.

Everton is Sunday I thought because of the university open day
Arsenal never was a tv game, its Sunday because Arsenal play on Thursday

I may be wrong but I haven't heard anything of the Uni thing either apart from a few on here. Much like 'Everton have a game the Thurs before' is a myth, I feel this may be too. Can't see an excuse like that washing in the prem. From what I recall, it was indeed moved as 'possible' for TV then a few days later confirmed as NOT on TV, but they still left it on the Sunday because they're morons (prob to do with MOTD2 or foreign TV at a guess?)
The game is on Sunday as it will be shown live in India on huge screens at a fan park as part of the Premier League’s international roadshow in Bangalore. The game could also have been shown live in the UK as well, and it was moved to accommodate a possible late decision on this, as well as because it had already been selected as part of the “Premier League Live” event in India.
The club will have marketing and commercial teams, as well as an AITC community football coaching team, in India as part of the event. The event is seen as being absolutely fantastic exposure for the club - and for Amex, where India is a key, and growing, market - and is part of the overseas community work we are committed to doing as members of the Premier League.

That has to be one of the most bizarre fixture change reasons ever, welcome to the Premier League that seems to keep offering wierd and wonderful oddities.
