I think this means at least 9 games will be in the evening now. If a few more are televised we could end up with half our home games at 7:45. Now that's crap. I feel let down over this.
But this is part of my question. If this is the case why do they get a fine for say not running the Brighton-London route? Why is this route special so that the TOC has to run it? I guess it is designated a key route or something. If so what can be done to make the Brighton-Falmer route have the...
Out of interest what is the reason for this hourly Boxing Day service? Why do Southern provide this? It cannot be profitable surely. Why dont they just not bother like other parts of their servivice?
Agenda? As I said, it will be easier and cheaper to stage it on another day. Like most people in life I'm sure the club will be looking to take the cheaper and easier option.

There will be a safety issue if it's moved to the date and time Bushy mentions. South London's finest with 7 hours of boozing inside them will not lend to a peaceful match.
