[Albion] December and January TV changes

[swindonseagull]

250 mile round trip on NYE getting home @ approx 2300 or TV and a few beers?

Tv it is then

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

So the matches for 14th (h v Liverpool) and 21st (A v Leicester) are still waiting for the TV picks

The guide date for these games is now two weeks ago. Why do they bother releasing these guide dates?

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Have read in the past how easy the Amex is to broadcast from, essentially plug and play.

Two late Xmas season games makes you wonder if the production staff are keen for a quick getaway

This is what annoys me. I’ve been keeping an eye on the tv schedules for the last couple of weeks so I can plan my Xmas and New Year. The Xmas fixtures are always late so why don’t they just say they will release them today and at least pretend they give a shit about fans.

I’m not going to a football game at 5:30 on NYE.

I’d rather see the stadium empty as a big ‘f*** you’ to Sky.

 

[Motogull]

That we'll and truly stuffs up NYE plans. 2 tickets going on exchange !

Yeah, that's f***ing poxy. A game I'd love to go to but I'd have to leave the Mrs 'home alone' on NYE because I'd be back too late to make it count.

Bollocks.

I very much doubt the Police will want a 30k stadium of fans on NYE. Who wins Police wishes or TV?

No way I will be going stuff sky

Where did you read this? If true they will be over two weeks after the guide date.

Looks like trains have engineering works and I believe they usually stop early but hopefully not before majority of fans can get home. Double celebration: I suggest most fans home 2 hours after match ends say 9.30pm and still time to get the beers in for Midnight? Yeah timing aint great. Personally I surprised there are any games NYE.

 

[A1X]

Don’t NYE trains usually run later than normal, especially to and from London, as they get the revellers home?

The bar staff don’t get extra for NYE because it is not a Sunday or bank holiday so I don’t think you’ll be the only one giving it a swerve

 

[pure_white]

5.30 pm on NYE sounds like a nightmare for travel. Trains normal end very early, so hopefully additional park and ride put on.

Probably similar size crowd to Boxing day last year.

They really do have us 'customers' at the heart of all their decisions, don't they?!

I very much doubt any extra park n ride like Spurs willbe on offer. Try getting staff to work 5.30pm NYE

 

[pure_white]

The Arsenal game on NYE is at home, so a bigger ball ache for the Arsenal fans

Half of them will.probably be travelling from Worthing, Southwick, Seaford, Eastbourne, Horsham and every other damm corner of Sussex!

 

[Cotton Socks]

I think you may be right there. It would be madness if they were to stop trains early to and from London, esp as it's the 1st time for fireworks in London post Covid restrictions.

 

[Pavilionaire]

For me that will be the second year in a row I will miss a Festive home game because of greedy TV companies.

Arsenal fans must be livid.

The Prem needs to be careful here. Inconsiderate scheduling, transport chaos, ingrained VAR shit, easy access to streaming and cost of living crisis are newer factor that will make many people consider binning the whole thing off, me included.

They don't usually stop early. Only on Christmas Eve.

Ditto, so predictable from Sky...

 

[Bold Seagull]

If they can do Boxing Day at 8pm, then NYE at 5.30pm is nothing really. It won’t be empty either, no one will be able to afford to go out partying this year…

Already binned our off. Me and Bold Jnr are stadium nomads, trying different stands and seats, picking games. It’s been fun so far - but part of the reason was the scheduling and missing games such as Villa at home 2pm Sun will probably clash with his football, then the whole festive period too being ridiculous.
