From a City piece on the website 'The fixture has been rescheduled from Saturday, October 26th, allowing the team more recovery time following the Charlton Athletic game on Wednesday, October 23rd.'

wayne allisons tongues Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 Don’t get the more rest argument, for we’ve a few Wednesday Saturday fixtures coming up but haven’t moved them. Plus it seems rest of league can play Saturday who play tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the tv is even better in a Wednesday evening than a Tuesday and so too many Wednesday home fixtures would put the Gas out of business. That’s what the EFL said when I rang them this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could argue that we have moved twice for them this week - would be interesting to see how the discussions went on who was moving their games this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind Wednesday fixtures FWIW, Sunday ones I'm not keen on, but seems a pretty unequal application- one for @JulieH ? As doubtless the police would've had a say.

Surely whoever asked about the red button was talking about the Wigan game weren't they and not tonights? Which it isn't according to that link and clicking on Championship fixtures (if they were).

Personal choice of staff you'd think, if we had Wednesday/Saturday we'd need a recovery day tomorrow with little training and then straight into a pre match day on Friday, moving the game to Sunday allows a day of pure rest in there as well.

robin_unreliant Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 I watched PNE v Leeds on the red button last night and it showed as 'not available' for about half the 2nd half. Hope there are no technical issues tonight as I can't make mid-week games in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not curious or questionable. Weds-Sun IS more recovery time than Weds-Sat. Fact! Just because other teams aren’t doing, doesn’t alter the fact that it does give us an extra days recovery time.

New Dazzler Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 Going back to the OP, it was a question of the time of 1.30pm rather than 3.00pm on Sunday. I also think these early Sunday kick offs are a pain, but in this case will take some comfort in the fact that the clocks go back this weekend, so it will sort of feel (body-clock wise) like a 2.30pm kick off, so I won't have to drag myself out of bed too early! For some reason I usually feel like crap on a Sunday morning, never really worked out why! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
