It causes even more problems because some people plan things in advance, like booking trains, flights, hotels etcetera. It's already been selected for tv and an early kick off so people don't expect it to be changed again unless weather cancels it. Tough on Newcastle but shit happens, we've suffered ourselves, it should have remained at 12:30.

It was selected for 12:30 with the caveat that has now kicked in, understand the frustration though.

Think we’ve only played one at home before against Newcastle at the start of the 23/24 season, once every couple of seasons isn’t too much of an imposition but understand it causes problems for some supporters.

Correct. Moved because we had the Super Cup on the previous Wednesday. That’s the only previous one we’ve had home or away.
Newcastle have really been shafted by this scheduling protocol - last season (when they weren’t even in Europe themselves) I think they had three away games switched to Saturday evening because of opponents’ CL commitments.

It was always stated on club website the ko could change. Pain in arse for those who’ve bought train / plane / hotels but the club gave everyone advance notice.

Quite confusing or uncertain the permutations of match amendments. For the carabao cup the winner of Arsenal or Chelsea will bring forward their league game by a month affected by the final to 18th Feb. No decision for us or Newcastle on how that may affect either side the scheduled league match.

West Ham away is either a 12.30 or 8pm dependent again on outcomes of other matches.

We can't do what Arsenal or Chelsea are planning because Palace (who we're scheduled to play on the weekend of the final) have got Conference League playoff round games on 19th and 26th February.
If we reach the Carabao final, the Palace game will move to closer to the end of the season.
