Match v Reading at home moved to Friday 24th Feb for TV

[El Presidente]

Form the Argus:
"It will be the TENTH time Albion have been on live TV this season, six of them at home.
The next four home games against Leeds, QPR, Cardiff and Sheffield Wednesday have been shifted for the Sky cameras."

I don't think Cardiff game is on TV - anyone heard differently?

It's 7:45 on a Friday night, can only mean one thing!

SASTA rail misery ?

So, every chance that between November 26th and 1st April, we'll have 1 (one) home Saturday 3pm fixture - Burton on 11th February.

Cardiff is 30th Dec......

We should tell SKY that we can't move games until there is a proper railway service and sue that bunch of f***wits in the meanwhile for the money we are losing from SKY

Everyone's a winner

Rest of February announced any minute

The use of the word 'initial' in there is a little worrying.

Surprised the club aren't making more of a noise to the EFL/Sky about avoiding games being moved to evenings whilst the current SASTA shambles continues (or maybe they are and are just being ignored)

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

Why should they, dazzer? The games are still selling out, people are still coming. Their only imperative to make any fuss, either with Sky or SASTA, is if people start to bale on the games. Not likely at the moment.

This.

Any fee from Sky gets swallowed up by paying for more buses, and Park and Ride sites.

I think you're right to be worried. From the EFL website...

Further selections for February are under discussion with the relevant authorities, including the police, and will be confirmed at a later date but within the five week window.

They're selling out, but quite a few not coming (no doubt there will be more empty seats than usual on Friday - will be some that will decide not to risk another Villa-type debacle), and those that do turn up (like v Villa) are getting home way later.

Even the journalists are complaining

If I don't go to The Amex by train the whole way ie use Seagulls Travel as I'm doing for Friday night and did for the Wolves game or drive/get lift to Lewes then down from there, I arrive later and spend far less money at the ground. Night games and the trains have got to be hitting the catering revenue side of things too.
