Amazed to see that we have two games scheduled in three days at the end of December. home to Reading on boxing day, then away to Fulham on the 28th.

Not too many years ago there was always games on Good Friday Easter Saturday and Easter Mondayso 3 games in 4 days which usually sorted out the promotion candidates. Also in thd 50s it was a game Christmas Day usually 11.00am kick off Boxing Day and then dither New Years Day or the next Saturday so the players are well off now

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Easter Saturday home game against Norwich moved to Good Friday so that there are three days between the fixtures.

Good Friday is not a great deal of difference from a saturday: day off, day off the next day and similar level of service on the buses/trains.

Jesus would disagree

Except public transport is Sunday service on Good Friday which may affect some people.

No. It's a saturday service on Good Friday.

Sorry must disagree it was Sunday service this year on the buses from H H so only the 40x was running to Brighton every 2.5 hours. Not sure about the trains as I use the bus with my pass?

Fair enough, that might be the case on the buses. Definitely a saturday service on the railways though.

Last season, most Championship games were played on the Good Friday afternoon. Helps the team to travel on Sunday to Rotherham away, so that they have the Saturday to relax and recover.

A couple of years ago, Gus also managed to get the Monday game played on Tuesday night for this reason and caused a lot of moans from those teams playing Saturday/Monday.
