    Ridiculous. What are the police worried about, and what difference does it make playing Sunday?

    First game available for supporters to attend in person . Coupled with local lockdown restrictions, footfall in the city centre will be lesser on Sunday, rather than Saturday... .

    Well that's my guess for starters

    Can’t see any reason at all there will be no away fans there so what difference does it make

    Worlds gone mad. On what justification has the kick off day and time been changed? There's no away fans allowed at grounds and there'll be less than a thousand fans for a pretty meaningless fixture?

    It's a league game, the first to POTENTIALLY allow admission of supporters, at Valley Parade, so I expect more than a thousand!!!
    Listed two of my guesses above. Nice to hear from the club for the actual reason

    With no away fans,and at best the ground a quarter full,I really can't work this one out.Perhaps no one told the police there would be no away fans.

    I'm getting mixed up, i thought it was an away game. Be honest i can't see away fans being let into grounds at all this season.

    You’ve no idea how bad these Ultras from Bettys cafe can be.

    Yes, I would think that's pretty much it. Nothing to do with away fans.

    If that's the reason then surely every game will be a Sunday then?

    Was just gonna post this Idle. A real potential for further games to be moved until local lockdown restrictions at the least are withdrawn. On that one, your guess is as good as mine.

    I'd guess they've got some Intel that some Harrogate fans are going to travel across and either try and get into the match or cause problems with some of our trouble makers. By moving it to early Sunday it'll make it harder for them to travel as they probably will travel by train.

    Huge local derby against fierce rivals, correct decision made all round.

    Whilst this sounds dead exciting , id say the local authorities in the tweet was the clue

    Do people still actually go into Bradford centre to shop these days? Last time I went it was like living through an episode of the living dead.
