On Thursday, Queens Park Rangers confirmed that we had the delight of being selected for screening by the television broadcasters, and Sky Sports had picked up our trip to Carrow Road to face current table toppers Norwich City.
The game does continue to take place on Saturday, April 6, but owing to the national audience, the kickoff comes forward from the sensible 3pm slot, and will now be shoehorned into the earlier 12.30pm time.
Some fans will probably welcome this given the away nature of the clash, but plenty certainly aren’t happy at the added inconvenience of the earlier travel that will now be necessary.
Ffs.

The above social media comments from Twitter are only a small selection when it comes to the anger and frustration again of games being booted around by broadcasters, without much of a care or thought for the fans.
