Not happy with any games being moved. Inverness at 12pm on a Sunday they can **** right off with that one.

Maybe they should have big screens at ER and open the gates for us, charge a fiver a head...would be funny to see a higher attendance at ER than in the Inverness ground

I remember being at the ER beamback when Hearts beat us 4-1 at Tynie. That was the game they could've got 7 but took their foot of the gas. What a relief that was. Still, put me off ever going to a beamback again!

Tin hat on here but it will inconvenience the few hundred that would've made the trip but it will allow the several thousand back home to see the game 'live'

Although I can see a Sat night stopover and Johnny Foxes for a few of the younger team :pfgwa

[Twa Cairpets]

I really loathe fixture changes.

I now have to miss either the derby (which I've not missed home or away for 27 years or so) or my kids game.

Midday Sunday for Motherwell? Woop de f***ing doo.

Out of all the things that TV brings, this mucking about with kick offs is the one that really, really gets on my t!ts

[patlowe]

The Inverness fixture change is brutal but just about every SPL club suffers because of the crowd-killing, atmosphere-sucking, OF-favouring TV deal the SPL not only agreed to but positively celebrate.

[PatHead]

Sure Hibs Hearts game is on Mothers Day which will go down really well. BTW same day as League Cup final so it won't get any build up on BBC.

[blackpoolhibs]

Another game off my season ticket.

You got a season ticket for Tynecastle?

Anyone from the Inverness area or recent experience of going out up there on a Saturday/Sunday?

I have been out up there on a Saturday night a couple of times, not for 5 years or so now, and a lot of pubs closed quite early.

What is it like these days?

What about staying up for a bevy on the Sunday, are there plenty pubs open on a Sunday afternoon/night?

Asked my 21 year old daughter for bars and clubs open maybe past 1am and got Foxes, hush, hoots, love2love, nova, Miami, and a new one opening soon called aces.

Hope this helps.

It is, as was our league cup win in '07 and what seems a fair number of OF matches over the last few years. It means I will miss my first tynecastle derby for several years as I keep a promise I made in '07.

Sure the 2-2 "Vaz Te" derby last season was Mother's day too.

And the Motherwell one is now Easter Sunday.

[Hermit Crab]

The bad news for the Inverness game is that the first train on a Sunday morning to Inverness is not until 09:36 and it doesn't arrive in to Inverness until 13:15 so that's the train scratched off the cards as an option for fans going up.

Not a fan of midday games. We've quite often played away to Aberdeen early doors recently and it spoils the occassion if you plan on a day out.

This will surely be the first derby at Tynecastle in living memory where we can't get a booze at the Roseburn. It doesn't open until 12.30pm on a sunday like most pubs.

The Murrayfield Hotel will be open at 9am. I'd also imagine the Roseburn will attempt to get an early licence

They won't get one for a Sunday. Edinburgh Licensing Board are a shower of *****, and unless you had an old style hotel licence there's no chance they'll grant it before 12.30.
