Why are we playing tomorrow

[fulhamben]

And not today?

[MJG]

Because I told them I have tickets to see The Homecoming this afternoon ;-)

lol, but it sucks. Missus at work and bored, would have gone with kids today. Won't take them night games as it's too late and cold for them

[Fulham1959]

So that's why there's no "Team in" topic  -  I'm serious !  I thought we were playing this afternoon.

What a bummer !

So that Rotherham have someone to play after the trip down

I am glad as it gave us an extra day to rest up and also means slavisa will be at the game now

[Skatzoffc]

Better for us as the players will be more motivated knowing the new Boss is watching.
Coyw!

The only unintended upside - otherwise a 3pm match today would have been better for all concerned, especially attendance-wise both for FFC and Rotherham.  If there are more than 15,000 I will be surprised.

not sure which part. But they also have an extra days rest, and I'm sure Jokanovic could have flown over today if need be

I meant Jokanovic being here but really Tuesday evening KOs are pants, full stop.  So, the original poster's question remains valid - did we have a choice?  Were we moved to accommodate the hordes arriving at Loftus Rd?

I heard that the reason is there isn't enough police cover games on the same day over the holiday period and that's also why there are  only a few traditional local games this year, you only need minimal police cover for games where only a few travelling supporters will turn up.

I saw this some years ago, Pinter is not entirely my favourite and definitely hard work. Hopwever when we saw it it had the redeeming feature of Cherie Lunghi's legs!

Hope you enjoyed.

I love Tuesday evening kick offs even better if during a holiday. Are Chelsea at home today? Think QPR were

[filham]

Derby and Rotherham are terrible Christmas fixture, there was a time when fans were considered and travelling was minimised by arranging local derbies at this time of the year.

[westcliff white]

I believe clubs are asked what their preference is for Xmas and Easter and the leagues try to accommodate where possible, but usually means you have a fair bit of travelling

Enjoyed the performances but the play I was not too sure on.

Me as well. We've basically drawn about 15k on Saturdays ad 12k for evening matches -- unless the opponent is relatively local. If we had played on Monday afternoon against Rotherham, there's probably still only be about 12-13k

That is exactly what we thought then. Pinter is definitely strange and difficult. I do now steer clear of his stuff.
