[Albion] Newcastle, Southampton, Man City games

[Gazwag]

Saints game taken off sale for tomorrow morning Albion+ members so clearly no immediate news expected

 

[Beach Hut]

Another day another wait ?

Well yes why not as we await the Citeh result tonight no doubt

 

[Midget]

Getting ridiculous now. Newcastle mid-week is quite a pain to arrange at short notice, you know!

 

[Reddleman]

This is driving me mad, I need to book flights for the Southampton game and still not confirmed.

The problem is that BT originally chose to show the Newcastle game. If they still want to show it then it will have to clash with either a CLSF or a ELSF. SO looks as though they are waiting to see which British clubs are left in these competitions before deciding to pass up on Newcastle game.

This has a knock-on affect for the Saints game as it may need to move to Sunday if Newcastle moves to Thursday.

Also becomes very expensive if travelling up on the train.

Not sure why it always takes so long to sort. The rescheduling of the Palace and Bournemouth fixtures was ridiculous.

The Newcastle game is weird, surely it could have been played in the last couple of months at some point?
Is it purely delayed because it was a BT Sport pick?

Both clubs requested that it was played last week or this week and the premier league refused because BT wanted the TV money, putting fans first as always.

More likely waiting on CL results and what night Man City will be playing.

So, the City game has to be that final week then.

Announcement tomorrow?

 

[zefarelly]

Game scheduling will be because of money

cups, and potential league deciders etc

tv comes second to betting and similar massive income generators

the FA are gimps in this respect. As long as they have their 100k worth of tarts They'll keep quiet

City game almost certainly Weds 24th May

Being totally selfish this has worked out great for me. As a cricketer I’d have probably missed Everton, Arsenal & Southampton but not now. I’ll miss cricket for the cup final instead

Southampton now Sunday 21st May at 2pm

Now clashing with the London to Brighton Mini Run!

Newcastle Thursday 18th May at 7:30

When can we expect the announcement?

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Newcastle Thursday 18th May at 7:30

On Sky Sports. Obviously the BT Sport thing wasn't an issue after all unless Sky had to negotiate taking over the TV rights.

 

[Napier]

When can we expect the announcement?

It's on the Albion website.

 

[Bob!]

It's on the Albion website.

Ah, ok.
