So why is the Everton game on the Sunday?

[Petee]

Apologies if this fixtures but did we ever find out why the Everton game is being played on a Sunday?

It isn't being televised.

I assumed it was due to Europa League but it isn't. All that it says on PL website is that it was Club & PL agreement.

Any ideas?

So that we can watch it at sensible time over here.
It will be televised somewhere.

Thanks Bozza. Would never have guessed a road show in Bangalore

So we lose a Saturday 3pm game just so that a bunch of plastics who don't give a shit about us can watch it on a big screen in INDIA.

FFS. You couldn't make it up.

Blimey. For all the reasons for shifting a Brighton game I do think that's the first time it's ever been done "so it can be shown on big screens in India". Welcome to top-level, market-driven football in the 21st century.

Or to put it another way:

"Bluddy Indians watching our football! It ain't right."

Or we can look at it this way - if we perform well we may gain some new fans in India.

We won't. We really won't.

Foreign football fans are only interested in the Big 6 - hence the grubby little meeting today where they're going to lobby for a greater slice of the International rights. Bipin in Bangalore won't have heard of us before the Everton game, and will have no interest in us afterwards either. We're not in the Champions League, we're not competing at the "right end", nobody has heard of any of our players. There is no glory in supporting Brighton. Any notion that we're going to be selling fasands of shirts in Mumbai in a few years is utter,utter bobbins.

Bumping those all-too-rare Saturday 3pm games because of a jumble sale at the Uni is one thing. But doing it just to bung it on a big screen in Bangalore in front of a few disinterested locals and a couple of cows almost beyond parody.

We've already got one. I'd like to think Inigo will be somewhere in India tucked up under his Albion duvet cover with a pile of poppadoms and a bowl of mango chutney for the game.

sad thing is the punters at the grounds don't feel they're being mugged off, R.I.P proper football

I hope we get a beam-back to the Amex of the thousands of Indians celebrating as each Albion goal goes in.

No you have it the wrong way round. The big screen is in india not the amex.

This one isnt a beamback.

It's in Bangalore - the main languages are Kannada, Tamil and Telegu. It's about a 1000 miles from Gujarat, it's a bit like asking if a game televised in Turkey will have subtitles in Swedish

And no, I don't know Stand up if you hate Palace in Kannada

I thought they spoke English and French in Kannada?

English and Québécois, actually. We don't do real French over here.

Marvellous pedantry.
