Saturday night KO's to suit SKY

[Ernest]

As part of the next TV deal there will be matches on Saturday night at 745 to help with the increase in number of TV matches scheduled.

That will be fun

B@stards.

 

[kevo]

F**k Murdoch.

 

[Knocky's Nose]

Expect a lot of rowdy supporters then who've been on the sauce all day long...

 

[Captain Sensible]

Less likely to miss those than Monday nights so I'm happy with that. Saturday afternoon in the pub, what's not to like?

I understand this is a proposal being discussed - not decided

 

[The Birdman]

We take Sky silver so we have play when they want.
I blame the greedy agents

 

[Notters]

Better than fecking Monday nights.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

From the European clubs point of few it's not a bad thing, more recovery time.

That's if you want our clubs to do well in Europe of course.

When you dance with the devil, you wait for the music to stop.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Waiting for the 'Oh no, we have arranged to go to Aunt Mabel's 80th' when we play Chelsea on a Saturday night.

 

[VAL1850]

I can live with that - Better than Monday nights

Saturday K/O's preference 3pm, 5.30pm, 7.45pm,12.30pm

 

[blue'n'white]

Sky : Jump
Premier League : How high sir ?

 

[pastafarian]

i am going to be off my boobs drunk

No-one's saying they will be scrapping Monday night football in return. At this rate there will be about three EPL games a week kicking off at 3pm on a Saturday and eventually none at all.

 

[El Presidente]

Better than fecking Monday nights.

In addition to fecking Monday nights is the danger, in addition to Sunday 12:30pm kick offs to make the EPL more attractive when selling the rights in Asia.

The EPL is looking to sell more bundles of games, it's understandable, the majority of clubs are overseas owned/controlled, and the Premier League (not the clubs who lost £100m between them) lost £300 million in 2015/16.

These owners (not the likes of TB) want to maximise the return on their investment, the interests of fans are an irrelevance to them.

Trying to get home when the last train leaves before the final whistle. Same as it ever was.

[Marshy]

I dont mind Saturday nights, roads will be a lot clearer and get to spend the day doing something

Win win as far as I am concerned.

Saturday night at the Amex
Who cares what fixture you see
When you're huggin' your mate
As a goal is scored by Glenn Murray?
