While television rights to football games can be great on some occasions, particularly for the far away fan, they can also cause their fair share of frustrating situations.
Often times those situations can see the club suffer due to the whims of those who schedule live television games, and Everton seem to have fallen foul once again.
Everton announced on Twitter on Thursday that two upcoming fixtures had been moved to be shown on television, with one in particular rubbing many Everton fans up the wrong way.
Everton had been due to play Leicester City on Saturday, November 30, just four days before facing Liverpool in a midweek Merseyside Derby at Anfield. However, due to the Leicester game being televised, it has now moved to Sunday, December 1.
Taking to Twitter, a number of Everton fans vented their frustration at the club now having one less day to prepare to face their bitter rivals over the winter period.
Twitter: @Everton Excellent one day less rest before the derby
