Premier League opening day fixture MOVED already as different sport takes priority

NOTTINGHAM FOREST’S Premier League clash against Brentford on the opening day of the season has been moved.

The fixture list was only announced last week but an amendment has already been made.

Brentford’s visit to Forest was originally pencilled in for Saturday August 16, but will now take place a day later.

That is because of a double header of cricket event The Hundred at Trent Bridge, located a stone’s throw from the City Ground.

The decision has been made to move the match to avoid massive crowds descending on the city centre.
