SWFC Trust is disappointed to learn that our opening home fixture of the season against Bradford City, originally scheduled for 3pm on Saturday 22nd August, has been moved to 8pm on Thursday 20th August. What should have been a fantastic and exciting opportunity for supporters to come together and celebrate the opening home game of the season, and the beginning of a new era under the club's new ownership, has instead become a fixture that many fans will now struggle to attend. The change will undoubtedly impact families with young children, supporters with work commitments, and many travelling fans, including those making the journey from Bradford. A Saturday afternoon fixture would have provided a far more accessible occasion for supporters of both clubs. We urge @SkySports and other broadcasters to give greater consideration to the needs of match-going supporters when scheduling fixtures. Football simply wouldn't exist without its fans, and they deserve to be at the heart of these decisions. We share the frustration of many supporters who were looking forward to celebrating the start of the new season together and hope that future scheduling decisions better reflect the interests of those who regularly attend matches. #SWFC
