Can anyone tell me how often games are moved and how the decision is taken to move a game to a Friday or Saturday.

In Serie A it seems that there are always two games on a Saturday and Serie B sometimes has a game on a Friday and one on a Monday?

Are these the most high profile games or is it just down to TV etc?

The reason for asking is that I am visiting Naples over Easter. All the Serie A games that weekend seem to be listed for the Saturday (11/04/09). Napoli - Atalanta

Can anyone tell me from experience do they move some games to the Friday when the whole fixture list has been put back to Saturday (I am guessing that they wont play any games on Easter Sunday)?

I dont want to travel on the Saturday and miss the game if its moved to the Friday. Also does anyone know when decisions to move games are actually taken, is it just a week or so before?

Cheers

Oh my gosh did you name yourself after Tomy's Super Cup Football game? That toy was awesome!

To answer your question I don't know.

I believe it is a few weeks before, but i'm sure somebody else could tell you for definite.

A fellow Simon Jordan hater eh?

All games on Easter weekend take place on the Saturday.

In general they announce it a few weekends in advance, with changes depending on big fixtures and when/if teams are playing in Europe.

In Serie B I think the Friday game tends to be any fixture and the Monday one a big 'un.

ha! Most defiantly.

I'm going out for a few games but most important is Livorno v Parma. I think this one could be moved to the Monday.

Cheers for the info.
