Getting back from Anfield will be fun, one train really at 8pm changing in Birmingham that gets to Euston at 00.40am !
That's a ****ing joke!
You'd have to run back to Lime Street to catch that 20:04 anyway... and if you do make it back to Euston the District Line would have already closed down for the night.
As always, the TV companies put the travelling fans last in their thoughts

Fixtures for Dec/Jan are due out today..... tick/tock
Won't happen and I have to put my December/January rota requests in by friday
Might still come out this evening. A number of individual fixtures have been moved a few times already after originally agreeing a date/time with the various parties - clubs, SAGs, police, broadcasters - but not supporters!
These are often the difficult fixtures to sort out for broadcasting and last year they were 8 days late in being announced. Delays over clubs objecting to travelling over the Christmas period; police objecting to kick off times including New Year's Eve being a Saturday; Amazon in the mix for selecting which days their round of fixtures can be shown as that depends upon Sky selections as well. Then there's the postponed fixtures, especially the ones that were originally selected for broadcasting and will now probably be switched from a popular weekend slot to midweek. Although there are potential midweeks available later on in the season, you never know what other matches get postponed.
Then earlier this evening they announce that Charlie's going to have a new hat fitted on a Saturday when we're at home to Man Utd and Fulham and Spurs are also at home in London. There'll be no matches broadcast that day so that's going to be 2 Saturday broadcast slots that are going to have to be found elsewhere that won't be found by simply switching all matches to the Sunday that weekend. That has repercussions to see if they can be scheduled earlier in the season.
Don’t know why they don’t just update our fixtures to be Sunday games until stated otherwise. Seems as though the club are happy for us to play every Sunday on top of those we have to due to Europe.
Might it be an idea to change the thread title? It's already 7 months out of date, and we're now on to discussing games not occurring until 6 months in the future!

Should we get there the ECL Semi Final first leg is on Thursday 11th May. Don't think we want Man U moved to Sunday 7th May.
I’d be shocked if all games weren’t switched. London based games at least will be certainly moved.

A week late really is takling the piss isn't it?
Wouldn't be surprised if nothing is announced until after 9th Nov Carabao Cup ties when TV companies will have a clearer picture of which clubs will have midweek commitments in January.
