Following the announcement of the 2025/26 Premier League fixtures, the FA have cautioned that due to the increased number of teams playing in Europe, "There is an increased likelihood of Premier League fixtures moving at relatively short notice."
If a team wants a game rescheduled to give them more time to recover for Europe, or to recover for a league match after a European game, then that's fine. No problem. In the interests of fairness, the FA should definitely try to help try to help out by rescheduling games when European matches are a factor.
However, they should only do so on the proviso that the club agrees to pay all additional travel costs incurred by fans who have already made travel arrangements for the previous date.
After all, why should the fans be the ones hit in the pocket? If rescheduling a match is genuinely an issue, then I'm sure the club won't mind covering the additional costs incurred. Alternatively, if they're not prepared to reimburse the fans, then perhaps rescheduling the match wasn't that important after all?
