No Easter home game for us, then

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Quietly announced this morning that the Easter Monday home game against Huddersfield has been moved back 29 hours to Tuesday 8pm. In other words, turfed off the bank holiday onto a midweek worknight. Why?

Dont know but i would like an eggsplanation too.

on tv?

too many local teams playing at home on the same day?

Surely too early to say.

too many local teams playing at home on the same day?

Surely too late to notice.

I see what you did there. Subtle little bunny aren't you?

Only thing i can think of is that will be towards the end of the season and maybe they're anticipating we'll be up there, hence hedging their bets and asking us to change so it can be televised if they decide to do so?

man utd v man city the weekend after, dont really see much local in the prem on the easter weekend worthy of note

looking at the other fixtures on the tuesday, I think that we will be a tv game as our kick off is 2000, the other 2 games are 1945.

I believe that can be the only reasonable explanation.
That or the Vogons are tar-spraying the hyperspace bypass on the Monday.

Maybe that is the projected likely game we get relegated and PG & Co. would prefer a midweek game to lower the numbers & bile ?

Bet we get crucified!

It'll be all sweetness and light once Coyle Pâques his bag and leaves.

you see we will have given up getting any points for Lent, and that game will mark the end of the fast

Don't our home games normally start at 8pm? Nothing unusual there. Not nearly as unusual as Sky deciding one game, six months in advance.

Tres bien, ami. I suspect that's zoomed over a few...

Paques is French for Easter.

One phrase I remember from school 'Paques et au Printemps' (ish) 'Easter is in Springtime'

I suspect our fitness team think the extra rest following the previous game will be beneficial in turning out our finely tuned athletes at their very best

Alternatively, the fat kit man has asked for extra time to finish his eggs
