West Ham United’s Premier League trip to relegation-threatened rivals Bournemouth has been moved next month.
The Hammers were due to head to the Vitality Stadium on Saturday, April 22 at 3pm. However, with David Moyes’ side now facing Belgian side Gent in the second leg of their Europa Conference League quarter-final less than 48 hours earlier on Thursday, April 20, the game has been moved back by a day.
West Ham will now take on the Cherries at 2pm on Sunday, April 23. However, the new fixture date causes travel havoc for fans wanting to attend the match.

On the new date of the game, rail works on the route between London Waterloo and Bournemouth mean that replacement bus services are in operation to take travellers between London and the south coast.
There has been no confirmation on West Ham’s website yet as to how many away tickets have been allocated for visiting West Ham supporters.
The trip to Bournemouth is one of nine games West Ham face in April, playing seven league matches and twice in Europe against Gent.
