Why can't we have some pissing AWAY games bumped like this for once eh ? EH ? Why do WE always have to lose another Saturday game for a shitting evening one.

Macked off.
Come on Easy, you know why.

Sky rock up at our lovely stadium, plug into the wall opposite the south stand and start broadcasting from their luxury box.

Can you imagine the ball-ache involved in the sentence that starts:-
'live from Yeovil...'

FFS! Really do think the club should begin to offer refunds - missed so many games because of switch to evenings. As an out of Sussex Seagull, these are a bloody nightmare - and not exactly a great deal of notice. Again.

It's such a strange match to choose. Hopefully there will be a lot still riding on it.

But some of the other games that weekend are: Burnley v Ipswich, Doncaster v Reading, QPR v Millwall, Wigan v Blackpool. Those four all look attractive at the end of the season.

What's the sodding POINT of moving ALL the last games to 12.45 if you're going to let one kick off on the Friday the week before? What if Burnley need a point for automatic and, as a result of our game, Ipswich only need a point to get in the playoffs? What if Millwall need a point to stay up and QPR need one as a result of our game to get in the playoffs. It's sodding ridiculous. Not because it's us. It would be the same for any team with something to play for kicking off 24 hours in advance on the second last weekend.

I shouldn't imagine there will be a lot riding in it for us, but Yeovil may still be in with a shout to stay up. Still a strange choice for sky though. Not a fan of the Friday night game due the distance of getting to the game!

Why should the club make refunds ?

You dont buy your ST with the games all being set at Saturday 3PM KOs. Obviously you could get one if you bought one match-by-match - but certainly not if your a STH, this is one of the risks of having a ST, games can be moved to other days/times.

If you dont like it now, you will HATE it if we were to be promoted.

I actually quite like Friday night games, but I'd rather it be Saturday 3pm. Doesn't make any difference to my attendance but I understand why many others (both home and away) will be annoyed

20,000 of us have bought season tickets before the end of this season, so we can't even claim we only bought it because we thought any particular game would be played on any specific date. We don't even know for sure which division we'll be in.

Great. Rush down after work, rush home again late at night. Why on earth should I get hammered if I don't have to get up the next morning?

I blame Oscar - why are we so incapable of scoring on a Saturday afternoon? This is pathetic.

What do we get out of it - money?!

How are we supposed to invade the pitch if its dark?

B45tards, b45tards, b45tards...

Which is my point, the games could be at ANY time and as a ST you are made aware of this. If you can only do afternoon games, then a ST is risky.

Evening games at the Goldstone used to be electric......not so at the Amex.

Shame.

Wonderful! Really looking forward to the drive round the M25 late on Friday afternoon. Absolutely no thought for the fans. Do we actually need Sky and their money?

This!

I thought Sky just rocked up and it was plug and play but its not. They have to lay additions wires around the stadium still.

Any how, the move dont affect me. I will still be there having my 2 pies and tea to watch Yeovil snatch a last minute winner against us to help them survive.

Ffs my son is mascot for this game as a surprise for his 10th birthday.

But he's got a theatre production in Portsmouth with the school until 10:30 on the Friday night!
