Fixture Change Frustrates Fans Amid Travel Disruptions
Sports

The Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Nottingham Forest has been rescheduled due to nationwide train strikes set for early April, leaving many fans frustrated. Originally planned for 8pm on Monday, April 8, the fixture will now be played on Sunday, April 7, with kick-off at 6pm at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The change was recommended by an emergency Safety Advisory Group, which included Haringey Council, emergency services, and the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters’ Trust, to address safety concerns since only one of the six stations serving the stadium would operate as usual on the original date.

Tottenham acknowledged the inconvenience and assured that ticket holders would receive updates on options if the new date is unsuitable. Sky Sports will continue to televise the match live.

Fan anger is rising over repeated fixture changes impacting travel plans, especially as Manchester United supporters face similar challenges this weekend for their late kick-off against Brentford. The Premier League, citing factors beyond its control, apologised for the disruption and highlighted safety as the key concern behind the date adjustment.
