For confirmation I suggest the official site as you first point of call, they're normally within 15 minutes of most confirmation stories.

Has it been confirmed this will be a saturday i hope so as cant make friday

You know how it works by now shirley. You make advance plans for the weekend, you secure the cheap advance deals, then Sky turn up two weeks before the game with their plug and play transmission facilities and you lose your money. Them's the rules. Club don't give a shit.

Why would our game be put on sky? I think there are 4 or 5 games more attractive for them to put on. Massive Leeds against ex Prem Burnley, newly promoted PNE vs play off finalists Middlesborough, Ex Prem Hull vs Huddersfield, London derby of Charlton vs QPR, play off semi finalists Brentford against Ipswich.

A struggling team that scored no goals against a solid Chanpionship team has no real appeal for the neutral, surely?

Two teams with a large fan base. I don't think any Championship games have much appeal to the neutral on the first weekend of the season.

On the ocean wave
After 14 weeks away without a drop of alcohol (job is zero tolerance), I fly home on August 8th in time to get to the ground for a 3.00 KO. So my thinking was, game, beers, home.
If they change this to the Friday night, I for one will be mightily pissed off!

First match of the season though. Premier League sofa fans would possibly watch Charlton vs QPR over us I feel.
