who agreed to change the date of the Arsenal away game from New Years Day to the Tuesday 7.45pm ?? No footie on either Boxing Day or New Years Day. Feckin' disgrace. Plus, back at work on the 2nd means some fans will not be able to make it. Football isn't for the fans anymore. It really is a disgrace. We agreeed to this. Why ??????????

    it does seem weird that they can just change it for their own convenience.

    the players want to go out on the piss on new years eve?

    is it because there is a new years day parade in london which would effect travel? unlikely. they should give a reason rather than saying they've agreed between themselves.

    it was always going to please some and not others.

    according to the Arsenal site it's due to reaaranged Sky games on Saturday 30th that have had a knock-on effect as it were. As I said football is definately no longer for the fans.

    I can well understand you being miffed.
    Personally I am away for NY and don't get back until the 2nd so I'm more than happy with the move - and I prefer evening games!

    I find that the atmosphere tends to be a lot better

    Evening games are great if you can fit work around them as the atmosphere does seem to be better often.

    Two recent examples: The wins against Liverpool last season and Spuds the season before.

    However if work arrangements are difficult then Saturdays at 3:00 is far better.

    and why not 8pm. At least it'll give us a chance of getting there.

    Atmosphere is better and I don't have to dictate/disrupt the family's weekend :-)

    Quite happy about the move, the idea of going to the Lucky Soul night, then going to Fabric, then the football was pushing it a bit, at least I get a bit of sleep between!
