Bristol City @ Home Moved for Sky TV

[Harrisblade]

Honestly, what are the fucking chances of this happening when the previous home game is also going to be on Sky?

And I'm not being funny but aren't there a number of more 'attractive' fixtures to select for TV?

Aston Villa - Millwall FC
Barnsley - Derby County
Burton Albion - Preston NE
Fulham FC - Birmingham City
Hull City - Brentford FC
Middlesbrough - Ipswich Town
Norwich City - Sheffield Wed
Nottingham F. - Bolton Wanderers
QPR - Leeds United
Reading FC - Cardiff City
Sheffield Utd - Bristol City
Wolverhampton - Sunderland

NO!

I was hoping we'd attract less of these Friday night Jobbies as I can't fly over until Friday evenings at the earliest.

At least the old man will be happy - he gets another freebee.

 

[pommpey]

Utter scum, aided and abetted in their slow destruction of the game by every automaton who has a subscription with them.

Or:

Viable revenue input which also enables distant supporters to watch the game.

There are many means of watching from a distance that don't involve supporting this vile organisation. Ones which don't involve attending supporters being fucked over in the process.

Flying back from Aus after 3 weeks there for the ashes. Was looking forward to an early night and jet lag relief before the game on Sat.....thanks Sky - Twats!

 

[norfolkblade]

I was gonna go to this one as well but no chance I'll be able to now, ah well, 50 quid more I can spend in Melbourne watching Root single handedly dismantle the Aussies

I've got a city mate who is coming over from Ireland to see game and has booked flights utter tossers #####

Every time Sky do this, they should pay the coach fees for the visiting fans, it’s not as if it will dent their revenues.

Shite treatment by a shite company, I hope I live long enough to see them go bust with the Premier League.

 

[Treeton Blade]

7 weeks notice for Bristol City fans. Unbelievable.

The cut off date for moving games up to Dec 9th was supposedly Sep 29th according to the EFL website.

Hope none booked travel/digs based on that work of fiction.

 

[metalblade]

Fuck off Sky I struggle to get to night games grrrrrrrrrrr

 

[ucandomagic]

How much does the club get for a televised Sky fixture? Anybody know?

Quite funny you mention it actually. An article in the Stir when the last lot of TV fixtures were advertised did advise the pigs to be mindful that no game had been selected for Sky on this date and that they were away to Hull. No mention of us in the article and would you believe it, they'd rather televise us than that shower !

I think it'll be a cracking game if both continue as they are doing ! Just a shame some Blades will miss it

 

[1danewhitehouse]

Fucking bastarding bollocksing cunting Sky strike again. Clashes with my works xmas do meaning I'm having to pass up copious amounts of free ale to sit in the bastard freezing cold on a Friday night. We'd best fucking win.

 

[Dimyan93]

Sods law, season ticket is looking a bit of a waste of money this year for me unfortunately.

 

[beatific blade]

Massively reducing ticket prices for Sky-televised games, to undercut the cunts, would be a reyt two fingers to them.

I bet it would fill the ground as well.

 

[I should coco]

It was our office Christmas meal, now the Blades are playing I don't know what to do...

Were you on a promise for some action in the stationery cupboard with Amanda from Accounts?

If not, you might as get to the Lane.

 

[JohnDenver]

Oh ffs. Another pair of rods to Sky from me too.

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

If we were never on TV again, not only would I not complain, I would be delighted.

And deprive the world of seeing That team?

Harsh.

 

[Lil red rooster]

just shows the fans don't matter ,your armchair fan with his six pack of lager and his remote come first.

its a bit naughty asking bristol fans to make the effort on a friday,its the price of success I suppose.

That's because it's the armchair fan who pays for Sky.

Yeah, it's poor for Bristol City very unfair on them.

 

[More Bladier than thou]

Well hopefully we wont be on tv ever again, just like being back in the pub league.

 

[raul]

FFS can’t we do something about these continual changes

Get relegated?

No one likes it and no one asked for it but I suspect most fans who are used to it don't kick up quite the same fuss.

What should be done as a minimum is that everyone who can prove train ticket purchase /hotel etc should be refunded by Sky when they switch games within 8 weeks which is when the better planners buy their tickets whilst at their cheapest.

 

[stringer]

Xmas do that night. Bastards.

 

[Fanny magnet]

Missus Xmas do that night

BACK OF THE NET !

Just seems shite that we have so many games moved from Saturday for TV.

 

[8lade]

Not often I get to complain seeing as I'm an irregular attendee but guess fucking what? That's the next game I'd targeted, hotel booked etc and now I'm missing the fucker.

 

[BushBlade]

It will be even worse once we're in Europe.

[snootyfenooty]

There's major roadworks on the M5 to the M6 junction which means all the traffic is being diverted onto the M42 to get back on the M6. Anyone who undertakes that journey on a Friday afternoon, which travellers from Bristol will have to, needs their head examined. It's fucking chaos.
