Sympathy for Arsenal fans.

[alan ball]

I’ve heard people feeling sorry for the Arsenal fans who are being put out for their travel for tonight’s fixture. It was Mikel Arteta who insisted the game was to be moved because of their Carabao cup quarter final game on Tuesday. So if he’s no sympathy for his fans, why should others?

He will just put the reserves out on Tuesday as well

Good point, well made

Hope we batter them

Think it's symptomatic of the game. There's little regard for the fans at many clubs, so long as they're good customers and buy tickets/tat/TV packages the clubs benefit from.

The Arsenal lot will not care too much if they win the league and/or cup. The glory sheen will compensate.

Like you said arteta asked for it … so many blues booked flights and not going now as needed new flights and hotel. Hope we batter them and they go home even more unhappy !

Hoping that's true!

No idea but he'd be loving the weirdness of the fit birds thread these days

Where's the traveling fan's bill money Arteta?

Is the nature of my game

Its a disgrace that Moyes and the equally spineless club hierarchy have rolled over for that Helmet Headed Judas and his gang of spivs. Its good Evertonians who suffer.

Being an Everton fan at 37 years old I find it quite hard to feel sympathy for Arsenal fans!

I can’t even feel bad for the poor palace fans having a kick off same time in Leeds tonight because even they won a pot last season!

What’s Moyes got to do with it?

I think what you say is fair enough in that Arsenal fans need to be looking closer to home for someone to blame.

However, as football fans, we can all recognise that we are the last group of “stakeholders” to be thought about let alone consulted.

Arteta asked for the game to be moved and because of the desire to avoid 3pm kick offs, it was going to be put at a ridiculous time somewhere even though everyone has commitments at this time of year.

I think we should be going the opposite way to the current direction and having a minimum of 50% of every teams games have to be 3pm Saturday to make a season ticket worth it, to actually make the 3pm blackout reasons worth it and to allow fans to at least have a decent chance of planning ahead
