When the rest of the league are kicking off at 3.00 apart from the Wolves game which is on Sky?

Yes
Burton and us agreed the switch to give each team more time to recover for Easter Monday games. In our case more time for us to get ready to be thumped by Newcastle. | | | |

But that makes no sense, we're giving ourselves less time to recover as the rest of the division are playing earlier on Friday.
I'm not overly fussed, just intrigued. Although I'd probably prefer to be driving back to London from the game at 5 rather than 10. | |

We agreed to move it from the Saturday but why we didn't play it at a sensible time I'm not sure. The difficulty of getting home is the main reason we haven't sold out for this one. |  |

This is another thing that p1sses me off about Mick - and it is him. Few other managers see the need to make these changes and the owners would stand up to them in any case. |  |

right now, those extra hours of recovery could make the difference between finishing 17th or our rightful place of 15th. What a time to be alive. |  |

No, the rest of the division are playing 3pm on Friday, we're playing 7.45 for some daft reason. |  |

Was it in the vain hope that Sky might want to feature a potential relegation 6-pointer? |  |

Did all the division (other than Villa vs Reading) ask and get permission to move to the Friday?
Seems odd that all bar one game is being played on the Friday, but of those on the Friday, we're playing in the evening. | |

I can just imagine someone at the club saw Newcastle were playing at 7.45 and thought, "Oh, everyone will be kicking off at 7.45, so let's move ours, everyone will then follow". Now we look like idiots as we're not on TV and are playing at random time. Everyone else is laughing at us. | |

I'm pretty sure they were all scheduled for the Saturday when the fixtures came out so it's possible.
Really annoying kick off time, even a 5:30 kick off would have made getting home fine. | |

I think you're reading far too much in to it that we would have been the only ones who would have had an input in to the decision.
Burton's local police force would have done as well, and for all we know, (and I don't), there could be a big event on locally in the afternoon. | |

So the fact that there is only one Championship game being played on the Saturday is because MM got all the others moved as well then?(or was it Glenn Hoddle). |  | | |

An evening kick-off is actually better in terms of brownie points with the Mrs.... won't leave Ipswich until mid-afternoon, so we can do some family stuff beforehand. | |

Remember a few seasons ago where we played Bournemouth, probably a bank holiday weekend also
They had an extra days rest and blitzed us for the last 20 minutes. We were playing a high pressing style dependent on fitness and we're absolutely knackered for the last twenty minutes. Bournemouth eventually equalised late in the game.
I'm sure it will have had an effect on MM's thinking? [Post edited 10 Apr 2017 19:04]

Nobody else is laughing at us. Apart from Burton Albion supporters nobody else has even noticed. We are not the centre of most people's world. | | | |
