Faversham
Can't go straight from work?

Too risky trying to get back to Faversham by train from Falmer (F-Brighton, Brighton to Victoria, Victoria to Fav) in mid winter, with train cancellations due to staff shortages (Covid). I have an early start, too, making the day far too long for an old b'stard like me. This is the first lab practical I have run in nearly 2 years so I can't bunk off early and leave my assistants to it (like I might do later in the semester, when everyone is up to speed).

Just my luck to miss our first ever league win over the pensioners.

Another part of the reason why this can be played now is because that midweek was designated for FA Cup 3rd Round Replays - which have of course been scrapped.

Given we had 3 games to rearrange - all against teams still in either European competition or likely to go far in the domestic Cups, leading to them having further rearranging - it makes sense to try and get at least one of the games done now whilst we can.

two 8pm evening KO in 5 days at home how often does that happen. Its late school night not great for kids attending but I guess this constant reshuffling is part of being in the PL. Not great dont like it but would i prefer Championship league 1 football instead and less movement? Nah

Maybe but the match timings / tv scheduling is no different. In the Championship you still get regular movement for TV due to the Sky contract and more evening games than in the PL. (to fit in the 46 v 38 game season). Ask QPR how many times they've played at Saturday 3pm this season.
