Lot of fixtures for us in April

Should find out today or in the next couple of days which of our games have been moved - the derby looks like a likely candidate with the National on the same day

@toffeeblue9 was just getting in an early April Fool prank

You fell for it

Sorry, you're right

I knew that as well because it falls on my lad's birthday this year.

...yep, looked at it today after it was tipped up on ATR as one to watch in the handicaps. Much more interesting for me than the Sky fixtures.

When's the game against Liverpool likely to get changed too?

...the general consensus is lunchtime Saturday, although a few have suggested Friday night.

Ok cheers mate, hopefully they get announced soon.

Merpol will do pretty much anything they can do to stop a Friday night fixture as the potential risks will be high. This means more expenditure.

I can guess the points now: usual Friday night rush including traffic; more chance of sizeable numbers of drinkers; changing shift-patterns etc.

...yep. Personally I hate Saturday lunch kick offs but there are a lot of worst things in life.

I can't see Friday night being an issue for the derby. I mean, if the majority finish work at 5, that gives maximum of two hours of drinking, surely as much Of an issue as 12:45, can't see thousands booking the day off work really.

But 12:45 will surely happen... unless they move Chelsea city to the Tuesday for TV, then us and united to the weds and we play on a Sunday...

The one I'm cheesed off with is West Ham, it's literally 3 weeks til West Ham away and the trains are going up every day so unfair.
