That looks no more rest than in the Christmas period when we looked knackered at home to Sheffield Utd. If these fixtures are crucial to our auto hopes then can't we appeal?

I am going to write to complain to the EFL... an outrage. They appear only the same amount of times as that little club derby county do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 That Forest fixture will lead to some interesting family conversations - it's Mothering Sunday. Makes it a bit of an early start on Easter Monday but do-able. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Ram for All Seasons Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I have already booked my flight for the last game of the season in the belief that it can't be moved because of potential promotion and relegation issues. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please correct me if I'm wrong. Yes you are wrong - our last game of the season might just be the last Monday in May. It is a Bank Holiday and flight prices will be more expensive.

Makes it a bit of an early start on Easter Monday but do-able. Too right. Recently realised that family lunch/father-in-laws bday lunch was on that day. At 3pm. Was thinking I might be ok as we could be on the Saturday or Sunday 1ish slot. Now it's 2.30pm! Oh well, this won't be anymore important than our other games now we are actually playing for promotion. Their cup final though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Friday 30/3 Millwall v Forest at 13.00 Barnsley v Bristol C, Brentford v Sheff Utd, Cardiff v Burton, Leeds v Bolton, Norwich v Fulham, Sheff Wed v Preston all at 15.00 Boro v Wolves, Reading v QPR at 17.30 Derby v Sunderland 19.45 Sat 31/3 (Easter Saturday) Brum v Ipswich 15.00 Hull v Villa 17.30 Sun 1/4 (Easter Sunday) - no matches Mon 2/4 (Easter Monday) Preston v Derby 12.45 Bristol v Brentford, Burton v Boro, Ipswich v Millwall, Forest v Barnsley, QPR v Norwich, Sunderland v Sheff Wed all at 15.00 Sheff Utd v Cardiff at 19.45 Tue 3/4 Villa v Reading, Fulham v Leeds, Wolves v hull and Bolton v Brum 19.45 So Ipswich only have 2 days (48 hours) between their 2 fixtures which is the shortest turnaround time. Followed by the Rams who get 2 days and about 16 hours. Everyone else gets at least 3 days. And the really important thing is - nobody cares about Ipswich......but we are being potentially slightly disadvantaged relative to all of the other promotion chasers.

Doodle Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Really pleased the Forest game is 2-30. I hate the 12-1 kickoff. Atmosphere suffers and always feels slightly wrong drinking at 10-30 am to make up for lost time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preston are only getting an extra 4 hours rest, but they have to travel from Sheffield back where as we are at home, can't see it having that great of an effect on our game against them and our next game is against Bolton who play on the Tuesday so we have more of a rest than they do.

You forget that we have to travel up to Preston on Monday and they don’t. Sheffield to Preston is shorter than Derby to Preston. Can’t see it being a major factor though.
