Sounds good to me

Sky must have had an idea. My bill showed a return to full subscription on June 18th when I looked at it yesterday.

I bet we get moved for TV.

Getting this message on mine :

Your sport is paused
Some customers are seeing a Sky Sports/BT Sport subscription cost on future bills, please rest assured that you will not be charged until the action returns. We will be in touch as soon as we get any news.

Who have we got?


edit: just looked at the fixtures. We're doomed!

 

[Mellotron]

Got to assume our first game (v Arsenal) will be 20th June, with them already playing the midweek before.

Will be SO nice to be talking Albion with you all again, as weird and diluted as this will be, it's only for now.

Shows who's in charge.
I wonder how many conference rooms were used to house all of Skys legal team

Interesting that they're getting the two games in hand out of the way first.
I guess if it all gets suspended again then the idea is that everybody should have played the same amount of games..

Likely logic.

If it is behind closed doors, all we need to do is find out who on NSC can shout 'Albioooooooooooon' the loudest, so as they stand outside the Amex shouting those elusive words........

At least 3pm games will be on the box. No reason why they can't stagger all the games now. I guess they'll all be televised.

Typical isn’t it? Our first home fixture and Southern have cancelled all trains because of engineering works.

They have said all games will be televised. Sky / BT have pretty much all of them. I think maybe 8ish left which will be Amazon or BBC.

Are they still going with the neutral venues?

TBC but the noises coming out of negotiations suggested that had been binned - and the German experience may have cemented that.

Cricket is not coming back until 1st August but Football is aiming for mid June. How can there be such a difference in risk assessment?

Not as much urgency for cricket - or money sloshing around for tests etc

Seems like some other sport is being looked at........

I’m sure you are right about the money, but it does beg the question as to how realistic this timescale is.
