No Easter games next year, whichever league we are in.

What’s the reason for that?

i've just paid for a prem inn family room. i think it was £43. not looking forward to driving up in bank hol traffic but cba driving back again that night

Thanks. I've just done the same. Didn't think it would be so cheap. It's the place we stopped at last season. April too, I think.

Dates of international games were decided some time ago and Easter falls on the week set aside. Of course, it is easy enough to find out when easter will be in advance and avoid it, but they didn't.

Typical!

Actually prefer the 8pm to a stupid 12.30, so not too disappointed. Means you can get a few things done in the day and enjoy a drink early evening up to the match….as long as my wonderful wife continues to drive me home from Cov

with the prem inn it just depends on how early you can get it booked. it's just a version of surge pricing i think. reviews on the one in hull city centre are ropey but its just a room for a night isnt it and it's walkable to the ground.
i also have the shareholder card which gives free unlimted brekkie for each person in the room for every night stayed so it's my go to for the budget hotels

If it happens, you'd better get used to it people.

Can anyone that has been keeping track of these patterns advise what the likelihood of April 25th being moved and what the timing options are if so? I guess if they move one title challenger at that stage they will have to move all so no one has an advantage of knowing the other result first etc?

Selfishly a 12.30 would be ideal here for me 3pm or later and I can’t go which would be fucking awful if that’s the celebration after all these years of going to shitholes in the dark times

I hope it's confirmed at Blackburn on the 18th, cos I'm in for a knee replacement on Tues 21st when we play Portsmouth, but can't see me getting to the game on the 25th!

8pm on Good Friday isn't bad imo. But 8pm on the Monday for an away trip to Hull is a bit shit but we all know supporters at the bottom of the list of considerations with these things.

I do wonder how many people watch some of these games. I can't imagine there's a huge audience at the end of a bank holiday weekend thinking I'll just finish it off watch Hull v Cov.

It was fine when we stopped there last year. Plenty of parking on site.

Didn't take long to get to the ground. A pain afterwards though as they force you out of the opposite way, so we had quite a long walk back. It was an evening game too.
