Rumour - BBC want to show first game at the AMEX live

[Mendoza]

If they get it, it would guarantee the first game not being a 3pm Saturday kick off on 6th August 2011

what do people think about that?

 

[Wilko]

Would be ok if it was the 5.30 game I suppose? Would not really want it to be the Fri night or the Sunday though.

 

[Gwylan]

Really hope not. I'm looking forward to taking my son to the game and if it's an evening kick-off he won't be able to make it.

 

[Husty]

I really hope so, going on a gap year so not renewed my season ticket so got a feeling my chances of picking up a ticket will be slim, so if I can watch it on TV that would be great.

This. Otherwise worse idea ever, f***ing BBC cunts.

after shifting the gay parade for us, im not sure we should move the game. on the other hand, lots of casual/non-STH fans wont bother for the tickets so those that want to go to the first game without paying £300 have better oppurtunity to do so.

though im not sure why they would want to show this game, its not of that great an interest outside Sussex. unless we get one ot the teams coming down or big teams that failed to go up.

A close mate is getting married that day, haven't made my mind up yet but it not being on the Sat would help me immensely. Can see why most people wouldn't like it though.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Evening kick off would be shit. Sunday or Saturday at 530 would be fine

 

[Hotchilidog]

3pm Saturday afternoon please. I do not want this day messed around with.

 

[Life After Bobby]

In some ways I don't care cos i'll be there. However, wouldn't want it to be Friday or Sunday. Would want a 12:45 kick off though rather than 5:30

I think it's a great idea. Gives all our fans the oppotunity to watch the game (very limited general sale tickets) and I'll be there whatever happens...Anyway, why does that definately mean it wont be at 3?

 

[strings]

I think it would be good. We could share out moment of joy with the world.

 

[Simster]

3pm, Saturday
5.30pm, Saturday
Anything else:

 

[The Ringleader Returns!]

3pm, Saturday
5.30pm, Saturday
Anything else:

^ That.

I do think there is a serious chance our first game may be live on TV. I am pretty sure that first weekend this season there were 3 live Championship games. Sky did two. One Friday night, one Sunday afternoon (due to the Prem kicking off a week later) and the BBC did a 5.30 Sat evening kick off. If we get a tasty game at home (a Prem relegated team, a losing play off finalist, Palace). I think there is a good chance we will be on the box, what with the new stadium, promoted side etc. Still I will be going whatever, hope it isn't the Friday night though.

 

[deakers]

How about 12.45 on the Saturday?
The first game of the whole season. Fitting?

 

[The Large One]

3.00pm Saturday 6th August.

Please, dear football club, tell the TV chaps to do one.

Come back when we've got ourselves settled in.

f*** the rest of the world, this is the day that Albion fans have been waiting years for.

 

[BHAryan]

Should be saturday 3;00

Does that really matter though? The importance of the game is for people who are there, otherwise it's not much different to any other match is it?
