General thread for this weekends games but i just wanted to touch on something in particular.
I've just seen who the Early Saturday kick off is. Bournemouth at home to Newcastle. 12.45 K/O
The furthest distance between any two teams in the league and BT decide it's best to completely screw over the away fans and put it at the most inconvenient time possible. It's a disgrace how they can get away with doing whatever they want. At the absolute least they should be compensating the Newcastle fans and putting on travel for them.
I've been to early kick offs against London teams where we've had to leave about 4am so god knows what time those fans travelling down by road will have to set off. Apparently the only way of getting down there in time for kick off is by flying, which will set you back the cost of a season ticket
Just read Newcastle subsidised the cost of the ticket by £10 after the fixture change. It's something i suppose but nowhere near enough and will probably come from the pot they have to allocate to help subsidise away games for fans.
