Good can spend longer playing golf in the Saturday

Good can spend longer playing golf in the Saturday

And you thought last years football was boring but each to their own I suppose. If a game has to be switched I dont mind any time on a Saturday or Friday evening but not Sunday.

 

[Stat Brother]

Give with one hand, take away with the other.

I can't get too angry (even though I want too) about missing 'Boro because of work, having unexpectedly watch Burnley and will be able to watch QPR.

Friday night is cool, but if we get many more Saturday lunchtime KO's I will be seriously pissed off.

 

[BN9 BHA]

FFS SKY
Bollox to Friday nights, Saturday is football day.

 

[Superphil]

****sticks, got a show to go to in London that night, paid good money for those tickets too. Somehow these are the things that are really taking the gloss off being a football fan these days, and I know it'll only get worse if we end up in the top flight. Pah.

 

[CP 0 3 BHA]

Crikey - is that 5 TV games already this season then? Quite a turnround from being largely ignored in previous seasons wherever we were in the league.

 

[perseus]

Friday games are good, but the trains are not.

 

[AlbionPics&SouthCoastTwit]

For me it's a difference of 13:15 Friday afternoon or 9:00 Saturday morning. I'll take afternoon any day of the week.

I make it 6

Forest at home
Burnley away
QPR away
Boro at home
Wolves at home
and now Brentford at home

 

[Notters]

Yes am booking Bristol today and Preston won't be long.
I didn't know that about Southern PG, I'll check it out though.

I'm pretty sure southern refund all unused tickets.

 

[Notters]

Is that for Southern journeys only

Yep only for southern journeys.

I did not realise Wolves was One too. That's going to reduce the crowd massively for New Year's Day. Huge hangover- Oh it's on TV so no need to bother....

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

They should just stick to the original times and if they want to televise a game just ****ing show it on tv at Sat at 3pm. If you want to go then brilliant and if you want to watch it on telly then equally brilliant. What am I missing?

 

[Perkino]

Great news, my dad announced he is getting married on Feb 6th meaning I was going to have to miss it. But now with the Brentford game being moved I can go to his wedding

 

[Frutos]

EDIT - my mistake.

This 100%.
I wish SKY etc would just let us proper fans that buy tickets watch our team on the original date.
Show an evening match if they want, but leave Saturday 3PM kick offs alone.

Under the agreement which Sky signed, they can not show live football at 3 pm. I believe it is the same for BT sport too.

Understood, but why? They are quite happy to show lives games on TV at the same time as other matches when they are played midweek - thinking upcoming game against QPR where there is a full programme played that night.

It would be nice if they showed some common sense and showed the Fulham game (already moved to friday 1945) instead. Can't see how the Brentford fixture is any more attractive to viewers.
