"On the face of seems like simply madness"
Seems like a slight over exaggeration mate
Commercially I would imagine this decision has been made working in conjunction with our stadium partners and as far as I can remember is the same as the away fixture last year and the home one year before last.
Don't get me wrong It wouldn't be my preferred choice but It is what it is. Let's be honest whatever time you play this game it will clash with something on the Easter weekend indeed many people actually go on holidays etc at Easter
Sometimes I think we forget but people operating the stadium, staff and players all have families and lives to.
