'Supporters being left behind' – fans fume at fixture changes

Everton fan Kathy Keig believes "supporters are being left behind" by decisions made to reschedule fixtures.

Everton's game at Arsenal was moved from Sunday to 17:30 GMT on Saturday because of the Gunners’ Champions League commitments, with Mikel Arteta’s side playing their last-16 second leg against Bayer Leverkusen at 20:00 on Tuesday.

Speaking on BBC Radio Merseyside, one Everton fan said they had lost money after booking a train ticket to London before the match was given a new date.

"It's been shocking. I appreciate the annoyance of someone that's lost money," Keig said.

"We have had so many Monday night games, and because of the traffic at home, even a home game that kicks off at 20:00 is a problem for lots of Evertonians.

"A lot of people I know just can't do it – if you've got youngsters [for example]. My grandson has been to four games this season because they can't get up for school after a late game.

"Everyone is bowing down to TV and what they want, and I do think the supporters are being left behind in the decisions being made."
