April TV Fixtures

Eds said:
Hillsborough was April 15 not the 23rd. TV yet again screwing the fans over. What time will Bournemouth fans get back home if they don't stay over, bearing in mind no trains - same can be said for Newcastle fans away at Spurs on a Friday night with an 8.00pm KO. Hope City will lay on trains back from Euston in the way they did London in the City or whatever it was called.

No chance of trains after 2100 from Euston to Manchester. Network Rail progressively close the route after last trains for Saturday night / Sunday morning maintenance work, which is contractually built into the Train Operating Companies' access rights.
The only exception, is the following weekend, where the engineering work is annually lifted early to allow earlier trains from Liverpool, Manchester and Wolverhampton to Euston in connection with the London Marathon, which is purely coincidently sponsored by Virgin Money !!!

Not for a long time, not sure why after 29 years they can't play on the anniversary of Hillsborough. Our neighbours have played games on the date of the Munich disaster, surely if they want to remember the victims there's no better place for them to show their respect with 50k other like minded people.

The Scousers at home that weekend normally play on the Sunday.

But CL games are on Tuesday's and Wednesday's. How can a Saturday evening kickoff possibly be effected by that?

If we played wednesday and liverpool tuesday both legs then it would be optional to swap our tv dates (them sat, us sun) so the rest period is equaled out
