Ah yes, I forgot it was a family. Maybe therefore more suitable for games involving Norwich.

I think we'd be targeted by some Jimmy Savillesque chants in the future if that were to happen.

A lot of things irritate me, mostly because I'm a grump little b*****d, but every now and then something crops up that actually winds me up. This is one of them.
The sheer nerve of a company that routinely f**ks football fans over by changing fixtures around, more than often than not to a time and date that makes it an unmanageable trip to many, thinking that a cheap and incredibly transparent bit of marketing will make us go "Oh, Sky, you really do love us!"
If they want to start doing things for the fans how about they stop moving games around or, at the very least, consider the time and money involved in some of these journeys. Both us and Middlesbrough have got horrendous trips ahead of us to make the away trips this season.
In a few years time, whilst the money in football is still climbing seemingly unable to reach its zenith, home fans will look at the away ends and wonder where everyone is, where did people go? And the answer? We're all at home streaming the game because going away has become prohibitively expensive for the vast majority.

Really disappointed someone appears to have actually taken up this risible offer. Unless of course there will be some sort of protest from the sofa, in which case fair play.
Fully intending to go if this was a saturday fixture but a sunday lunchtime is just too inconvenient for me. my new ground this week will the Enclosed Ground at Whitehawk rather than Turf Moor.

The only redemption any Brighton fan on that sofa would have in my eyes is if Burnley scored, they immediately got up and TRASHED the set, TWATTED a steward with the lamp, and LUZZED the table onto the pitch.

Count me in for a tenner as well.
I've not read the whole thread but I missed being contacted by the company involved in this a few hours before this thread was started, so presumably at the same time as the OP.
I highlighted this thread and that perhaps it wasn't getting the desired response, and I was told that some fans had been found. Looking forward to seeing them...

Makes you wonder how many extra stewards/coppers Burnley are having to pay for to protect against this very eventuality.
More money dicked out of people by Sky.

It's extremely WHITE and CLEAN looking so a bit of graffiti would look SUPERB on it.
Please someone take a spray can or two and daub FVCK OFF SKY on the wall.

"Making away days better" - how did someone/people arrive at that as an appropriate phrase for this stunt?
When it was announced that this fixture was rearranged there was a few posters on here who were pleased it had been moved and were quite smug that they could now watch the game. They are exactly the kind of fan sky wants. They probably even refer to Tim Lovejoy as a "total ledge".
What an absolute load of grade-A, steaming, festering, rancid elephant-spunk.
An absolute DISGRACE from Sky.
"Making away days impossible" would have been closer to the mark.
I really thought this was a wind up, how could Sky be that stupid to think this was a good idea but I have been proven wrong. The whole idea is an insult to supporters up and down the country and takes the pi55 another nail in the coffin of football as a game for the common man.
