Fixture changes again for TV.
Arsenal away now on Midday Sunday 14th February. (Happy Valentines Day)
Watford away 5.30pm Saturday 5th March.
Newcastle home now 8pm Monday 14th March
Yet again TV ruining any plans already made. Arsenal is particularly bad. Tickets already sold out a week ago and train tickets and hotels booked.
Fantastic.
More changes than an FA cup replay...

its wrong that the tv companies can cause real fans that go to games all this hassle.
what can you do to change the train travel and hotel bookings ?

It's a Valentines Sky Super Sunday but not with the usual suspects.
Arsenal v Leicester City (12pm)
Man City v Spurs (4.15pm)
WIth Aston Villa v Liverpool (2.05pm) put on in between the main events for some reason.

We all know that money talks but I think it's wrong when fans book trains and hotels in advance to save themselves a few quid and then the game is changed.

That's two more games I get to see, that I wouldn't have been able to.
Good for me, but I can understand frustrations

I can understand games being on the TV, as much as it's not great them being on at all different times and days, that I can deal with.
In this case to move a fixture three weeks before, when all of the away tickets have gone on sale and been sold is just wrong.
So many people will have lost a lot of money, planned a weekend around it being a Saturday fixture.
I know people who have sorted hotels and nights out on the Friday and Saturday which now they either have to come back and go again on Sunday or pay crazy amounts of money to add the Saturday night at such short notice.
Worst of all is that it's Sunday lunch time, which means not all will even be able to get a train to make the kick off!
There needs to be some sort of control and restriction on how much notice they can give to just move games.
Against modern football.
