It gets much worse once in the Premier League, but fans find the time and money.

I agree, if we were in the PL more fans would suddenly make the effort and you'd probably see 3000-4000 at the game despite it being moved. However this fixture wouldn't have mattered to me if it was Arsenal, Chelsea or Man city or any of the big Giants! I still would not have been able to make it. It's really annoyed me this season so far with some of the fixture changes. The Reading fixture change is the worst one for me personally. I know some people it may suit but I'm sure we will have a much reduced crowd due to it. That weekend is like my Xmas with my family (I dont see them over the Xmas period at all due to work). So I'm off Wednesday - Sunday night! We are all meeting up as they live up that way and we're all planning on going to the match! (They are gold members as they can't make many home games). I booked this off specifically to see them and tie it in with the match. If I'd known the match was goi g to be Monday night I would have booked Monday - Friday off! Due to work none of us can now go and it's ruined our plans for the Saturday. Will just do something else now. I'm working he Monday night shift so cannot go to the match or watch it on TV. Obviously I know that there's always a chance that some fixtures can be moved but it always seems to be the easier trips that are made harder for us - let's face it we don't have many clubs near us as it is! When you've planned something around the fixture and booked annual leave it really annoys me now that this has changed. I can't book annual leave nearer the time - it has to be booked way in advance. They could have moved it to a different time of the Saturday or anytime Sunday. But Monday night is a joke IMO. So even though some people just don't go - I really cannot go!
