Stop scheduling TV matches at inappropriate times for travelling supporters
We all like to watch the big games on TV as supporters and neutrals, but the scheduling of these games do not consider the inconvenience caused to the away fans. Especially when you have a set of fans travelling 4-5 hrs for a night match and another team travelling 1-2 hrs for afternoon kick off.
Friday 5 Aug 19:45 Fulham V Newcastle 5 Hr 30 Mins by car 290 miles
Sunday 7 Aug 16:00 Sheffield Wed V Aston Villa 1 Hr 50, 90 miles
Friday 19 Aug 20:00 Man Utd V Southampton 4 Hr, 225 Miles
Saturday 20 Aug 12:30 Stoke City V Man City 1 Hr, 47 Miles
They are just a couple of examples, why can't Newcastle play on Sunday and Aston Villa play on Friday surely thats more convenient for all fans concerned, if I was a Newcastle fan I have to book Friday off work and look at the prospect of returning home at around 3:30 - 4 am
