I should have checked if this would be moved before I booked train tickets up. :oops:

looking at all this I reckon it is almost certain that the 2 matches will be switched.

Premier league and sky shitting all over fans again. *word censored* the lot of them. 1 week before a game also, so anyone re-booking tickets will have to pay double the price now. Wankers

that really is a total shambles - I'm not going but it is tough for people who have already made plans.

both Sunderland and Arsenal supporters couldn't have had much further to travel :evil:
why did SKY schedule a match on the Sunday knowing that they could have a CL on the Tuesday?

Being awarded City of Culture doesn't seem to have much to do with actually having culture. Previous recipients include Liverpool and Glasgow. You can bestow whatever title you like on a pile of shit. It still stinks.
Mind you, what they'll pay for a pint in the West End you can buy a house in Hull.

Two friends booked on flights from Dublin to Leeds on Saturday morning, on train from Leeds to Hull
, reverse trip the following day...fucking joke that Sky/Premier league didn't take all possibilities into account before announcing TV schedule. Arsenal FC should be supporting their fans on this late change..probably just happy to be getting the TV revenue and fuck the fans.

1980 we played on Easter Monday at Spurs and the Wednesday against Juventus.., they could have moved the Chelsea fixture to Good Friday night, and leave our one as scheduled. Imagine if the Victims or Man ure were inconvenienced in this way. ?

Because they couldn't give two shits for what anyone else thinks.

Utterly disgraceful. If somebody arranges transport before the televised fixtures are announced that is foolish, but moving a game at this short notice for this reason? Fucking bastards.

I now have a 2nd train ticket, to get some money back for my original ticket I need to send it back to the trainline but they charge £10 to do this and the return train is now more expensive than it would have been (though as first class was only £6 more I should get a more comfortable seat).

I will have to try to get into the game with a backback now as I was staying the night because of lack of trains home, and now I will be kicked out of the room long before kickoff. Do you reckon this will be allowed?
