Can anyone offer a sensible explanation as to why Sky insist on changing our home games to the Friday evening when they can change the away games eg Bristol City to a later Saturday kick off? The odds against us getting more than half our home games on a Saturday are getting shorter by the day. Perhaps Mr. Barber can tell us.

Just a guess, SKY normally show a PL game in the Sat 5:30 slot. Occasionally BT have that slot, then SKY show a League game. It is probably the case that for the Villa game, SKY has the 5:30pm slot for a PL game, as is the case this Saturday.

Another Saturday home game moved to a Friday FFS :rant:

I know there is nothing BHA can do about a home match being on Sky, but do Sky also dictate the TV slot? I know it's months away but none of us know what's happening with the trains, Shirley a early/ later KO on a Saturday would be a better option.

That's a question I'd love answered.

I'm sure I heard an interview on local radio with Paul Barber a couple of years back, and I'm sure he said he liked Friday matches because the fans purchased more food and drink.
Don't think I imagined this but I will stand corrected if I'm wrong.

Will there be any trains for the Villa game ? Only 3 months to resolve - unlikely
