Do we know why we agreed to a change from 1230pm? Surely it would be to our benefit and their detriment the earlier kick off. I cannot understand why we agreed as it seems other games are 1230pm. Strange

For a 12.30 kick off they would need to set off pretty early or come the night before at extra expense. It seems like a decent gesture to me.

Phil keeps going on about fine margins etc. A earlier kick off may have helped us..we have to be a bit more selfish at times..big league now..Wonder if Phil would have preferred the earlier start??

Also talks about doing the right thing doesn't he? Wasn't there a fixture earlier this season when another club were a bit intransigent? Hartlepool? I'm glad anyway :)

Given they were kind enough to swop the original fixture due to our pitch i think its the least we can do, I wonder what the others at the top think?  playing a little later might be an advantage as you will know if all around you have won or not
