Cowley seems to think they should be.
I would have thought for many ST holders, Bank holiday monday is easier than another Tuesday evening.
Absolutely not, for my part. As far as I recall, when I started watching Pompey, it was pretty usual to play 3 games in 4 days over Easter, and therefore games on successive days, often against the same team, I think. (That also happened at Christmas.) It was either Friday, Saturday and Monday afternoon, or Saturday, Monday and Tuesday evening. And that was in the days when in Div 2 we only played 42 league games rather than 46. Not sure how the poor dears would have coped with all that.
