[Your Mum]

My niiece is getting married in Edinburgh on that Friday, I know what I will be doing during the reception now

Her mum.

 

[um bongo molongo]

How reliable is the tip that it will be Sunday? Can do Friday or Sat but not the Sunday, which would be gutting, love that away day - old skool ground and close enough for me to get an uber home

Given we have Birmingham at home on Tuesday 4th I would be very surprised if we agreed to a Friday night game straight after.

Late Saturday or Sunday therefore seems far more likely.

 

[DavidRyder]

Would the fact we have a game on Tuesday have any bearing on it? I guess not, but Sat/Tues/Fri would be stretching the squad fitness a bit (ok, only a little more than any other week)

I like the idea that we have a choice - it appears that whenever Sky say jump the teams say how high?

 

[DavidRyder]

I guarantee Bristol City at home will be moved, especially if it's a promotion game - so for all the 3pm Saturday lovers out there, make the most of Blackburn!

 

[Peter Grummit]

If it is Friday, don't mind that. We will sell out our allocation whatever. R's fans will stay at home. No issues getting home after.

Chance for a proper mews pubs crawl from Victoria, like last year.

I understand what you mean, but SKY pay teams a lot of money, also club sponsors/advertisers want to be on TV as much as possible, even more so in the Premier League! Fans come last in any fixture move consideration.

A Sunday rearrangement would rule a few out, myself included, as it would then clash with the Brighton Marathon.

To be fair, this doesn't seem to ever enter Sky's decision making process... we go Sat/Tues/Fri next week with Forest/Rotherham/Derby.

Newcastle and Huddersfield play on Weds 5th that week, so they will be favourites for any Sat/Sun slots, especially Newcastle who travel to Sheffield Wednesday that weekend. To me it seems more and more likely we will be on the Friday, although that's perhaps wishful thinking as it's the date that would suit me best.

Amen to that...

The MASSIVE v Newcastle match is guaranteed to be on SKY

 

[Ernest]

SKY have 12 more fixtures left to show for the Championship , one of them must be a Fulham home game.

interesting fact ?? who do you know this ??

Ah yes, I'd forgotten that.

 

[Ernest]

interesting fact ?? who do you know this ??

It's in the contract, each team must be shown twice at home and Fulham are the only team not to have done so yet. Rotherham were the other and their match with MASSIVE has now been picked . There are 92 matches contracted and 80 been scheduled so far which leaves 12 to be selected. 2 must be shown on the last day on May 7 which leaves 10 left now to be picked across the remaining weekends

Good luck! It was nearly impossible for me when we played Palace in the playoffs!
