4500 Bolton or 4500 Sheffield United, I wonder what the thinking is behind one being moved and not the other

Still, extra few hours recovery time before the game on Monday.

Can anyone explain why this is on the Saturday and everybody else is playing Friday? Then down to Brizzle on Monday and Bolton play again Tuesday?

The original fixture was scheduled for Easter Saturday, to get it moved to Good Friday would presumably require the agreement of both clubs. 

 

Having gotten their Easter Monday game moved to the next day due to TV (I think) or possibly police advice, they won't be arsed about moving our game to Good Friday.

 

Incidentally their opponents on the Tuesday (Bury) play on Maundy Thursday, possibly TV related (Bury v Rochdale).

 

The coppers at Horwich station when we played Bolton (same day as Rochdale v Bury) were from Merseyside, there might not be the scope for a similar arrangement this time.
