[Albion] December and January TV picks

[southstandandy]

TV Rules - Let me off this merry go round of Sh*t

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

So did we ask to move the Brentford game, or just happy for it to moved.

Didn't we ask for a boxing day game (possibly the one against Brentford in 2021) to be moved a few seasons back and were told no, tough luck. I'm guess the fact Amazon have that weeks games and they don't really want to show an empty Amex on Boxing Day has facilitated the move this time.

No Boxing Day game! BASTARDS

I'll miss the tradition of footie on Boxing Day but it could have been a horror 8pm kick off and at least there's trains on the 27th

To wreck 3 away games with these picks is f***ing disgusting. Never mind the Palace at home shit show. Wankers.

100 per cent this

 

[Stumpy Tim]

The trains to Leicester look fun on the 8th... A 3ish hour journey from London due to replacement buses from Luton. There would have been issues on the Saturday but going via Nuneaton would have been an easy solve, doesn't seem to be available on the Sunday though.

Dread to think how bad the Sunday service on Avanti will be for United.

Villa isn't even do-able by train.

Three decent aways ruined by the PL/broadcasters, brilliant

Jeez. The beauty of Leicester is it's an hour from London. Now it's three hours. Sake

Sorry, hadn't factored in Ipswich. Ffs. 4. 4 away games up the swanny. And some of the better ones too.

This is getting silly now, why can't the TV companies sit down when the season's fixtures are announced, and release the TV games for game weeks 1 to 18 before the season starts.

This would enable fans to sort out cheaper trains etc, the TV companies can then move games later in the season to pick title and relegation deciders with the limited announcement period.

For those interested in the Leicester trains, try London to Leicester, but via Nuneaton. Those trains are fine and not extortionate. No rail replacement buses. Two hours from London so not too bad.

No Boxing Day game! BASTARDS

Happy with that, always a pain to get to without trains.

It’s A Wonderful Life
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation

No Italian job this year.

 

[A1X]

Monday night is a shit time for football, Palace or not

 

[RM-Taylor]

Yep the club can advise and request but it’s sky decision at the end so it’s sort of 50/50

Nothing at all to do with Sky. Boxing Day fixtures are Amazon Prime

Cheers - that route wasn't showing up when I had a quick look on Trainline earlier. Still a 2hr+ journey from Euston.. ballache

Totally agree…i would add though that i thought the same about Thursdays until we got into Europe…..but Monday night football….yuk!

It’s worse still…...apparently Amazon Prime have stated that each game must broadcast Freed from Desire before the game at HT and just after the final whistle

Selfishly means I can actually go now.

4 games being shown on Boxing Day, including a 3pm tie

Sadly it removes my annual pass from dinner at the in-laws.

Would they know the games moved, if for example you also had other plans for Friday night?

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

So as it currently stands only 8/19 home games were / are a Saturday 3pm KO this season.
