Liverpool Football Club today confirmed their away fixture at Blackburn Rovers on April 15th will now kick-off at 5.15 pm.

The switch will allow any fans who wish to attend both the annual Hillsborough Memorial Service at Anfield and the Premier League fixture to do so.

A club statement said: "We are very grateful to Blackburn for their co-operation in the rescheduling of the game. We examined every permutation in consultation with the Team Manager, but because of the continuing uncertainty over the dating of some fixtures and the need to make a decision quickly, we have decided on the 5.15 pm kick-off on the Saturday.

"The annual Memorial Service will, of course, be held at Anfield earlier that afternoon and will be attended by club officials and those first team players not involved in the game at Ewood Park."

Phil Hammond, Chairman of the Hillsborough Family Support Group, said: "We're grateful to both Liverpool and Blackburn Rovers for all their efforts in rescheduling the game. We were always aware that one year a fixture would be played on the anniversary date and welcome the fact that fans will now have the opportunity to attend both."
