Mirrors my experience. Had a reply from EFL hiding behind the disclaimer of 'all fixtures subject to change.' I did raise that a proportionate response needs to be taken to this disclaimer, would they be willing to change a game 48, 24 hours before KO time, and use the disclaimer to avoid compensating for financial harm? I am not sure how that would be interpreted legally.
The fact that no asterisk was raised against this fixture, and there was clear evidence the match could move given pre-arranged EFL cup dates, gives me hope. I have it in writing that the EFL acknowledge an asterisk should've been placed against the fixture given a potential move due to EFL cup. As evidence, an asterisk was placed against Newcastle v Brentford, which was subject to change due to CL fixtures, and subsequently did change.
I haven't contacted LCFC, but may do. Interestingly they did try and shift the blame onto LCFC with the following quote:
Clubs understand that the value of the League’s TV broadcast rights allows Sky the ability to request fixtures for broadcast throughout the season but ultimately benefits them, through associated basic award payments.'
Currently fighting Wizz Air hard in the small claims court, but considering taking this forward when that case closes.
