[Albion] Away to Man Utd now scheduled

[Bob!]

20.15 KO.

Mission creep of KO times in full flow now.

It's not on TV, do we know why it's at that time?

 

[spoonie]

says on both ours and Mau United's website that its on BT is that incorrect as I believed we can't have PL games on TV when champions league games are on ?

It's not listed on BT Sport's own list

Its to do with it being champions league the same night and games not being allowed to kick off at the same times

It’s shown on the Premier League official site as a BT Sport match. It would be highly unusual for that to be incorrect.

When I went on just after 9 today, there were a lot of seats already blanked out that would not have been sold already due to their location, e.g whole rows near the front (for players' comps?) and on the end of every row in Block 230. Then there were 1101 seats available, now there are 609 left. So 492 sold so far, plus whatever was done in the first few minutes.

Will do well to take 1500

I think technically it is, as it was a BT sport match before the postponement.

Could still show it alongside both CL games I guess as they have enough channels.

No, but my suspicion is that it suits quite a few markets to be a bit later. 20.15 is 12.15 in LA for lunchtimes, 15.15 in NY, 04.15 in Hong Kong. If they got to say a 21.15 KO eventually, suddenly you're getting close to after work across much of the US, and closer to waking up time in Asia. Not that I'm cynical...

Doubt it !!!

It's not popular in states. Sure I read somewhere that NBC only gets 500k viewers per match. Asia on the other hand has a massive audience and 8.15pm is Terrible for them

If BT have bought it ,they'll show it. Probably on BT Sport Extra so it doesn't clash with their CL content

 

[Bozza]

Just checked - it's not on (UK) TV.

So you have to ask yourself, if it's not on UK TV as stated above, why the 20.15 ko?

Any time between 7pm - 8pm is pretty bad for the far east, but 9pm ko suddenly starts to get towards just an early morning rather than middle of the night. It's creeping out so we get used to it. I don't ever remember 20.15 kos, used to be 19.45 were the latest, then it's crept out to 8pm, now 8.15pm...slowly slowly catchy monkey...

With the club.

I suspect our website will be changed soon, if it hasn't already.

 

[Stat Brother]

Well the Stats are off to Old Trafford.


Not been since Clive Walker tore them a new one and Paul McCarthy should have scored from a corner.

Has it changed much?

So why is it an 8.15ko?

No. Oh, except it leaks more.

Sorry, I didn't ask that bit!

My best uninformed guess would be that by having an 8:15 kick-off slot the game is demoted behind the Champions League games that night, both of which kick-off at 8pm.

So, in the markets that have both CL and PL fixtures televised, people will have already started watching a CL game and are less likely to flick over for the Premier League game.

It's just a guess though, as I can't think of anything else!
