    It's only the kick off time that's changing though isn't it? I'm assuming it'll still be played on the Saturday?

    Probably, but the EFL have not publicly indicated that matches have to be played on the Saturday.

    Both ourselves and Harrogate Town are at home on Tuesday so, if we brought the match forward to Thursday or Friday it would be the same for both clubs, whilst giving us both extra time for recovery before our next games on Tuesday 20 April.

    Worth a shot I think if the EFL will allow it (I would think Friday evening matches will be).

    They could move the games to the Sunday or Friday evening as alternatives. I guess they would want to reduce clubs having additional expenditure, so avoid an option where hotels were necessary.

    Peterborough v Northampton has been moved to Friday evening so, presumably, Friday evening has been approved by the EFL.

    Friday night or Sunday for me. Leave Saturday purely for the funeral.

    RIP Prince Philip.

    I don't think Harrogate are on the i follow platform.You have to buy a match pass direct from Harrogate,£10,same as I follow,but i guess all the money goes to Harrogate.

    Wish they would get a move on and announce it. If they move all the leagues matches to the same time it really shouldn't be that difficult to decide as everyone will have the same issues so there shouldn't be sticking points

    Don't want to play Friday with us playing Tuesday Sunday might be best if Saturday is off.

    We also have a match the following Tuesday against Tranmere Rovers; I wouldn't want to move it to Sunday and potentially give Tranmere 4 days to prepare for the game, whilst we only have 2 days.

    I think a lot will be decided by local police and travel arrangements. Moving our game shouldn't make much difference as it is only an hour away whereas long journey time could change plans if moved to noon etc

    Can't they move the funeral time instead of unnecessarily inconveniencing thousands and thousands of people?

    Bloody Sky and BBC to blame wanting high viewing figures I bet.

    Quite agree. Imagine what Prince Phillip would have thought if the state opening of parliament or whatever had clashed with the cart driving championships.

    Me too. Maybe noon kick-off Saturday would be best. It is only just over 20 miles after all.

    Why? It was a serious question?

    Are you really going to be watching 12 hours of Prince Phillip programmes? I suspect the vast majority won't so if the funeral is at 3 why not kick off at 12, 5:30 or even 7:30 on the Saturday?

    Harrogate is 40 minutes away, fans are 5 seconds away (with the click of a button) and with midweek games either side of it the club doesn't lose any valuable recovery time for the players.

    There's no reason whatsoever that it still can't be played on the Saturday and I fail to see why you're so uptight over the original post.
