Bring Forward Burnley v Liverpool to Boxing Day

Post by claret wizard » Fri Dec 24, 2021 12:42 pm

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.

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

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

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

Why couldnt we have played Liverpool today?

Post by steve1264b » Sun Dec 26, 2021 2:00 pm

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.
