We're on Sky again.. Burnley home

[Quinney]

Birmingham v Boro looks a more likely TV game than ours.

They'll probably make ours a traditional Thursday night kick off.

Assuming Derby at Home is changed - our last Saturday 3pm game this season will have been Bolton at Home on the 13th FEB!! that really is shambolic. The likes of Barber will of course be happy with this but its got ridiculous now, 3PM Saturday is what its all about for me and plenty others I am sure. Obviously its Sky's decision and they do indeed tend to do as they wish but its time the fans stood up to it - its the one thing I would actually agree with the Leeds owner on.

Fans won't stand up to it; most of them will write "FFS" on here, go to the game, buy food & drink then go home and watch the 5.30 game on sky.

I don't expect the travelling Boro' fans will be that happy either!

Personally, I'm not too fussed about the 3pm kick off. Quite prefer either 12:30 or 5:30. As long as they don't change the Forest away game as have already got the train tickets. Was sweating a bit as probably the most attractive fixture that weekend but can' t see us being on two weeks running.

Must be just about reaching critical mass now tho eh? Fixture List isn't worth the paper it's written on any more, it's purely provisional. More and more people will be asking themselves why they should bother forward planning and laying out non-refundable hard-earned money on such a flimsy basis.

We fans, collectively, need to start standing up to Sky and their utter lack of respect. It is ridiculous and is only going to get worse if we go up.

I must be one of the only fans happy to see Seagulls on telly so much.At the moment am a season ticket holder but next season will only be able to watch on telly as am moving to Turkey and that is a long way to come to the Amex.
On a serious note feel so sorry for fans whose plans get messed up by Sky. They do not give a monkeys about supporters of clubs. As a previous replier said it is one of the only things I have ever agreed with the Leeds board over.

I do my bit, don't give them a bean.

 

[el punal]

And what do the fans with pre-made/pre-paid plans get?

Sweet FA is the answer. I seriously wonder how much money has been lost by how many fans because of match re-scheduling, be it with paying for advanced train fares, match tickets, hotel accommodation, taking time off work. The list goes on . . .

Actually, the real object of our ire should be the train companies. After all, we can get refunds for match tickets if the game is moved but we can't get refunds on rail tickets.

It's all very well moaning about Sky but, as someone pointed out, they're legally obliged to move the game as they can't televise 3.00 kick-offs but there's no legal obligation on the rail companies to ratchet up their fares so excessively or make weekend tickets non-refundable - they should be the real target

 

[Taybha]

Tis the price of success , i would imagine when we are but mid table also rans in next years Premireship we will only be on the telly a few times .

 

[BN9 BHA]

Was going to add my own FFS when I saw the tread title, as I hate Saturday matches being moved for Sky.
But I'm glad it's still a Saturday, if games have to be moved this is better than a Friday or Monday evening KO.

Behave. What about refunds on plane tickets, hotel bookings, work rotas etc. The real object of our ire is, and should be, SKY.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

This isn't a sky conspiracy, it's their way of preparing us for the revised fixtures in the prem

 

[portslade seagull]

It's nice to believe we are so popular, bit it is a absolute pain in the proverbial butt when they are changed to midweek as it makes it so tough to make the game

Plane? We're not quite in Europe yet

If I knew how to do it I would start a nationwide petition to stop Sky changing games and show them when they are scheduled. It would need a drastic change in attitude by bioth Sky and the FL etc to accomadate this and a change of rules governing the screening of games.but could be done with enough pressure

 

[BN9 BHA]

Shite k.o time - not enough pub time before.

Can of Tennants Super for breakfast, 1 on the way to the station and 2 cans on the train.
More time in the pub after the match.

Every cloud......

PS - SKY can still feck off

Pen and paper should be a start.

No, but we do have fans who travel from Europe.
