Sky tv again..

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

So most of the home games are safe for 3pm Saturdays

Makes attending even more difficult for those who live out of Sheffield, makes you wonder if it is worthwhile getting a ST when the savings are reduced due to you not being able to get to all the games.

7/9 changes for sky are away. And one of the home games is around the Xmas period.

Should be fine ST?

This round of changes is basically all away games TBF so not that bad for the first half of the season

 

[mattbianco1]

We certainly can.

Any games which get changed to an early kick off, pretty much wipes out the chances of a vast majority of our match going away fans the chance to go.

A "vast majority"?

So you're saying, let's say for arguments sake we get 3,000 per away game.
Again, for arguments sake, let's say a "vast" majority is 1,800 (60%) it's more than that, but I'm being conservative.

You're saying that if a game moves from 3pm, to 12:30pm, up to 1,800 (more!?) can't go?

I'm sorry, but that is absolutely nonsense.

Oxford on 27th of Sept is our last Sat 3pm away game of the year

What a joke

And? So what?

Honestly those obsessing about 3pm on a Saturday kick offs need to seriously get into the 21st century .

Sounds to me like an opportunity for those on lower volumes of Loyalty points to get to an away game. Assuming the theory is true - which I don`t for a second think it is.

I suspect this:

and it is odd how many fans can find their way to a host city for 10-11 in the morning to get pissed for a 3pm KO, but do that for a half twelve and the toys are displaced from the pram)

is the real reason behind some peoples annoyance.

It's shocking when games are rearranged and there's no realistic train home. I get that.

But the theory that we have thousands of fans that can't make 1230pm but can make 3pm is hilarious

That's what annoys me. I don't mind 12:30 or 5:30 unless it's on a traditional family day like boxing day or Easter.

But 8PMs means I miss the 10 o'clock bus and have to wait until 11,

7:45 for me please.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Itv showing our game Vs the pigs as part of the EFL deal.

Hopefully it will be a beat down so brutal people complain about it being shown before the watershed

 

[yamyamblade]

That's some stretch for a derby, Wrexham v West Brom, hope they've got a back up for 23/11 !!

I can see what you mean in some ways especially that without the influx of Sky TV money football in this country wouldn't be what it is now and the fact Sky TV has been changing fixtures for a while now however on the flip side if you were booking and planning most other activities or events you would expect them to be at the time stated for example you book a holiday and the flight say 3pm on a Saturday you would be fuming if that was moved to Monday at 8pm.

 

[Harry's Game]

I don mind the New Year’s Day at 5:30, more time to sober up from the night before

I see your point but flight times change frequently and quite often without 5 months notice.
