As home fans we would have much less cause to complain about such a fixture move, although they do sometimes like to put on the odd evening match
over the
festive period, although this would surely not be one of those
occasions!
This fixture was originally pencilled in for a December date, the same month the Tangerines were scheduled to play host to Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, however the bitterly cold conditions
over the
festive period meant the Seasiders went well
over a month without hosting any Premiership football because of a lack of under - soil heating at their ground, something the club have confirmed on numerous
occasions will be rectified in the summer regardless of whether they stay in this division or not.
