Sorting through a bundle of tickets, I found these two for Aston Villa v West Ham Premier League match in 1999.
Looking closer one is dated Friday 2/4/99 and the other for the following day 3/4/99.
The match was played on the Saturday, but does anybody know why there would have been two dates printed?
My initial thought was a TV schedule change, but they wouldn't have moved it to a Saturday 3pm for TV would they?....or is it a simple misprint?
Any help appreciated Sherlock

Game was originally scheduled for the Easter Saturday but was brought forward a day and played on Good Friday

Thanks for that colchestersid.
Makes sense now.
