Yeah it was about 14.15 last day. They seem to drip feed the news per club or 2 from 14.00, or did last time anyway!

It was actually 15.00 last month. Got my times mixed up there.

Still nothing. You can get some bargains for fantasy football though with some West Brom lads, apparently

meant to be a day late

Not to worry. Not as if anyone has transport/accomodation/time off work/childcare arrangements/anything else to book.

Saw someone say the same on twitter. God forbid they'd let people know. Money talks, fcuk the fans.

Probably out celebrating with the mancs 

It's a disgrace. Should be giving AT LEAST 2 months notice so fans can plan.

If the TV companies actually gave a shit about the fans this could easily be avoided. The dates should be published and then fans know where they stand.

The problem lies that match going fans don't even register on TV companies radars. The premier league should do something but again why would they bother. Even LFC could do something - they must be involved in the decisions.

Its a sad state when the fans who fork out their hand earned money are treated so badly by the industry they finance!

problem is we don't really finance it as fans, the clubs could survive without the gate money from fans going into stadiums these days they couldn't survive without the cash for tv rights

Nail on the head.

We don't finance it, but without the supporters, the spectacle isn't there. The Premier League wouldn't be anywhere near as attractive as it is to Foreign TV companies, if games were played in half-full grounds, so it's in their benefits to ensure the games sell out, or as near enough as.

Four of Liverpool's upcoming Premier League fixtures have been rescheduled for television coverage.

The Merseyside derby against Everton at Anfield has been switched to a 12.30pm kick-off on Saturday April 1.

The Reds’ trip to West Bromwich Albion remains on Sunday April 16, but will begin at the earlier time of 1.30pm, and the home clash with Crystal Palace has been moved to a 4.30pm kick-off on Sunday April 23.

Liverpool’s visit to Watford, meanwhile, is now set for an 8pm start on Monday May 1.

All four matches will be shown by Sky Sports.

Once again, not a fcuk do they give. Nightmare of a trip back on a Monday night if you could go!!!!

[stoz]

May 1st is a Bank Holiday. Why the hell is that game 8pm?

I bet there's another more local game, kicking of at a more reasonable time.

[Shanklygates]

How can we have yet another Mon night game?!!!

There isn't a full Bank Hol programme these days is there. It could be a 3pm or whatever. NOT happy!!! They makes the rules up as they go along..

FACT

[redgriffin73]

Stoke was the one fucking game I needed moving from the Saturday, so do they move it? Do they buggery, they just piss around with all the rest.

Spurs v Arsenal is on tv that weekend too, on the Sunday 16:30. But they make us travel on a bank holiday, when travel is usually shit and to top it off there are no trains back.

[Momos_righteye]

Was hoping the Derby would be Sunday

[ant]

there is a TV package for bank holiday games, thats why Watford is our 5th game on a monday or friday - ynwa !

[Shanklygates]

Typical!  And excuse and sod the travelling supporters as usual   

I HATE Sky

Thanks though.

[bradders1011]

No chance the final home game against Boro will move is there? Or have they changed the 'everybody at once' rule? Wouldn't put it past them.

No.

All kick offs have to be same time for fairness or something like that

Will be a nightmare of a trip down there as well,bank holiday traffic heading home on M1...

[Statto Red]

Hold on i thought SKY couldn't move any more of our league games to a Monday night?

[Barneylfc∗]

They can't for the Monday night package. But they can for the Bank Holiday package. Load of fucking shite. What do FSF do? Shouldn't they be on to this shit?

what can they do the games on a bank holiday so it's part of that package, if you sell out to to companies we have to put up with this shit

you could always sell your ticket to a local liverpool fan who lives nearby

More to do with having 1 clubs set of fans, not us in particular as Bournemouth had to do it last season, travelling the length of the country with little to no way of getting home when there are other local games that can be played in that slot. Why not put Watford V Liverpool on Sunday and Arsenal Spurs on Monday night? The fan safety police night time isn't an issue. Chelsea V Spurs was a night time game at the end of last season. We played United on a Monday night. Played Everton midweek plenty of times. It's a disgrace.

You can't really need it explaining why Arsenal and Spurs can't play each other at 8pm on a Bank Holiday can you?

Too far for their fans to travel home? If that's not the answer, then yes I will.

They don't get on!! So giving them 10 hours of drinking time b4 kick off is asking for trouble. Not all about distance

Though we played Everton on Good Friday in 2001

[Barneylfc∗]

Anyone able to function enough to have a scrap after 10 hours drinking is doing well. Suppose it's typical of the way football fans are thought of though isn't it? Alcohol = Fighting.
