This. Chris Hughton would have wanted this date, as it is clearly the most advantageous available. To compromise for any reason would have been a kick in the teeth for him and the team.
You think we have the ability to start rescheduling OTHER clubs' fixtures!?

This must surely be true IF you bought a one-off ticket for the game, and are now not able to attend. Fairly sure there would be no refund due to a STH unable to attend though.
