Now Forest (h) is on Sky

Good. I always have family commitments on Boxing Day, I might be able to get to the match if it's moved.

Presumably if it's moved to the 27th, the Millwall away game scheduled for the 28th would have to move too.

...which would mean a 7.45pm kick off on the 29th and not much rest before NYD.

tbh seeing as the rubgy fixtures come out after the football ones, you wold hope they would work it so there aren't any league clashes at all.

Stupid egg-chasers!

I honestly can't see why City and Tigers games have to be on different days. They never used to be and I don't remember any great disasters in the past.

I also know the guy who is head of the Safety Advisory Group who forced this through. Nice bloke, but they've got it wrong IMO. It smacks of the out-of-control health and safety culture that exists in Britain now.

We should all stay indoors, just in case... although the roof might cave in, so we should all bury ourselves underground, just in case... although it might flood, so we might as well all give up and kill ourselves, so as not to be killed by accident later. Problem solved!

I think I read that all teams have to submit all of the dates that they can't play by around the end of last season, so they wouldn't have known the Tiger's dates at that point.

But clubs that ground share manage not to clash (Saracens & Watford, wasps & Wycombe) so why can't clubs that are in the same town. Seems to me that neither city or tigers want to back down. But why should they?

It is due to the new expansion to the Tiger's ground I believe, and the number of fans that would be parking near or around the hospital that lies between them.

It's not to do with fan trouble I don't think, more that it would be detrimental to the hospital.
