Motherwell v Aberdeen

[El Grew]

This fixture understandably has had to be rescheduled however the revised date of Tuesday 15th September with a 7.45pm kick-off makes me wonder if our football officials are trying to destroy our game.

It will be a round trip of nearly 6 hours for Aberdeen fans who choose to come down for the match. To arrive in time for kick-off, they’d have to leave around 3-4pm and wouldn’t get home until well after midnight.

Now I know it’s not easy to fit-in rearranged fixtures, but would it not have been better to have arranged this game for say a Friday night?

This might just as easily have been an away game for us so I’d be interested to know what others think.

I really don’t think they give a flying fruit bat  in general for the ordinary fans so I’m not really surprised, sadly.

There's not much else they could have done. We don't have any available Friday nights or weekend dates to move it to.

If common sense had prevailed then it would be being played at 3pm today. It was a nonsense that we postponed it this weekend in favour of ‘Europe’.

With the added bonus of getting a right good moan in after watching a team of youngsters and knackered senior players take a doing.
