Bring Forward Burnley v Liverpool to Boxing Day

[claret wizard]

Any reason we couldn’t play Liverpool on Boxing Day instead of the 13th Feb? Both clubs fit to play, could free up a Saturday for other fixtures to be slotted in.

That might make some sense,so no way it's going to happen

Tickets for one.
Preparation for teams another.

Tickets for one.

They could let the Everton fans in

[Burnley1989]

We probably wouldn’t want to play them tbf

[randomclaret2]

It would be up to Klopp to decide what happens...

[IanMcL]

All too late.
Bloody Everton

[BenWickes]

It'd be worth it just to see Klopp have one of his tantrums.

[daveisaclaret]

Scheduling a game at two days’ notice would be tremendously anti-away fans.

All too late.

At least you weren't just N of Birmingham when you found out it was off, Ian.

We have an outstanding fixture against them, both games cancelled days in advance.

Would have helped both clubs?

Many reasons not least that match is a huge logistical operation, with police, staffing and ticketing to organise. Then on the playing side a lot goes in to preparing for each team, so it’d be far from ideal making that change so late in the day.

It could have been a closed doors game, although annoying for fans would have dealt with most of the logistical issues.

[ClaretTony]

Just impossible to organise something like that
