Great news! Having a game on the Sat makes sense commercially & from a recovery perspective post Norwich.

Yet look at the replies to the tweet!!!

Can't win!

Good news. Bigger crowd, more recovery time plus time to sign Leo Messi and Peter Crouch.

I really didn’t think that anyone would put a negative spin on this, then again there are people who will moan for the sake of moaning. Twitter really is a cesspit of tosspots.

It suits me better, but moving it 6 days from the original date doesn't seem the most customer friendly decision

Because people make alternative plans at cost and they move it with 10 days' notice, I think it's understandable

I'm really pissed off. As a season ticket holder I booked holiday to specifically avoid home league games which means I'm away on 28th.

You can avoid a lot of the complaints about this by just telegraphing that it might happen if the schedules allow. Moving the game to a Saturday makes sense, but doing it out of the blue less than a week before the original fixture is bound to piss some people off.

Did you do this before or after losing to a Conference team?

Sorry to hear, but in life, there's winners and losers.

I know I'm impacted so maybe not very objective about this, but I would have thought with all the dicking around with fixtures moving we've had this season adding further changes and disrup

Before. Cup games not incl. in season ticket so was resigned to not being around for 4th round regardless of whether it was home/away.

That’s unlucky I suppose. For us it means we can actually go and use our season tickets as midweek games in term time are a non starter.

There will always be winners and losers in fixture movement. I am away in Wales for my birthday so will miss it, however it gives the opportunity for someone to use my season ticket to watch City and maybe decide to come again
