The Albion and T.V.

[BattFink]

I think each team can defer a game being on sky a certain amount of times a season. Not sure how many that is but I would doubt we have used them all already

Weren't Huddersfield threatened with a points deduction last year due to not "hosting" enough televised matches?

 

[nevergoagain]

I wonder if the club has any comeback on Sky/Football League for tickets already sold which then have to be refunded. I'm assuming it's a no and we'd have to swallow that cost as part of the TV payment.

I think the club should allow the season ticket holders to be able to sell tickets on the club exchange even if its not a sell out as I believe it would be a win win situation in the long term. Help fans who are committed to the club but thru no fault of their own the game has been changed at the last minute. Lets think out the box please.

I didn't know that. Absolutely shocking stuff. West Yorkshire police are a bunch of ***** aswell.

Proper fans would make the effort! Get back in your box

ST holders don't buy tix with specific dates in mind?

Games getting changed will benefit some and disadvantage others so not sure that the club should be doing anything.

It would be nice, although probably impractical, to give consideration to those who have bought train tickets in advance, particularly as the club are getting a significant financial uplift from TV

The club cannot afford to tell the TV broadcasters to **** off. There is a solidarity payment from the Premier League TV rights deal plus a pool payment from the FL TV rights. When we appear on Sky as the home team there is a £100k+ sweetener and a lesser fee when we are the away side. All in all we could be looking at around £6M in total for half a dozen televised games to be shifted around for the schedules.

Fans buy tickets and want to go to every game they can but when things outside their control are changed it would be good if the club could help but only if someone else wants to buy the ticket. Some fans make sacrifices to watch the Albion and we are customers as well as fans. Ps by the way did you miss the goal on Tuesday

Shame as it would of been a decent atmosphere being On a Friday night and the beers flowing. Now we all have work the next morning it's gonna be a 82nd minute rush to train station, stil atleast for the first time ever we get to look forward to a MONDAY
