I'll be going to the Dogs again.
This time I'll stay until the end, rather than dashing out early for the soccerball.

I'm pretty sure almost everyone else in the League played on Easter Monday, but we held ours back for the Tuesday night instead under the auspices of having more "recovery time" for the team. Which is one factor I suppose, although I suspect it was also to get some relief on the travel issues.
Whatever way you slice it, its a bit gubbins that we now appear to be the only club in the 4 divisions who are not capable of staging a game during a public holiday. I love the Amex, goes without saying, but I'm getting rather macked off with the sheer number of afternoon games we are having to reschedule for evenings. Its getting a bit beyond a joke.

I thought we were not allowed to have any home games on bank holidays, ever since the Bournemouth Vs Leeds mass brawl.
Our game against Charlton has already been moved from Monday 1st April, when the majority are playing, to Tuesday 2nd.

strong and stable with me, or...
I may stick with the non-league theme, but will probably try to get to the Eastbourne Borough v Havant & Waterlooville boxing day clash (and probably relegation 6 pointer!)...

Having negotiated my way out of a family lunch should I now own up and go to the rellies or keep quiet and have the afternoon to myself?
Taking part in a protest march from Hove to Falmer, demonstrating against the lack of buses.
And then a well deserved pint in Dicks Bar?

Have we had one yet ?
Genuine question, I honestly can't recall for sure. I don't think we have.

Forgot Worthing United are playing at 11:00 AM
Ponder how in the 21st century one can build a stadium with rail and road on the doorstep and not be able to host a game due to lack of transport.

serious question. Are we the only ground in the UK who have these issues due to a lack of public transport?
What about London teams who have no parking anywhere around their ground like the Emirates for example....due tubes and busses run on boxing day? if not are their games also rearranged?

Barber has said he is commited to getting transport up and running for future Boxing Day fixtures.
Brilliant news. The 18th is MUCH better for me.
By the way, is it actually the Club's fault there are no trains?

Tubes and buses run on Boxing Day, albeit a lesser service.
We're probably not the only club with public transport issues, but I'd say we're the only club that has to pay for it, seeing as customers wouldn't or didn't.
