Wolves (A) and Newcastle (H) - Two Games in 3 Days?

[Sabella's Socks]

At the moment we're down to play Wolves away on Sunday 1st December and Newcastle at home on Tuesday 3rd.

Is this likely to change? (Asking because I need to sort out work.)

 

[SwissBlade]

Yeah they normally move Tuesday games by one day when games are moved from sat to sun

 

[Addison]

Logic suggests the Newcastle game should move to the Wednesday the 4th. Pigs aren't at Home mid week so should be no problem. Club need to confirm this asap

As all midweek games that week are on Amazon prime that needs confirmation but I’m 99% sure we’ll play Newcastle on the day after Tuesday!

I heard from a Newcastle can the other day that the match is being played Thursday night, but don't know where he got that information from...

Was it a Newcastle Brown can?

Aye, hes a canny lad.

 

[blademark]

Aye, hes a canny lad.

Spoke to him on the phone but sounded a bit tinny.

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

Annoyed as made flight plans ages ago on the strength of a Tuesday game

 

[Brian Deane]

He's pulling your ring

Is that the day before Thursday

 

[Ginger Gnome]

TV picks for December and January were supposed to be announced last Friday but they've been delayed, presumably the actual dates for the Amazon games ties into that as anything moved to Thursday has a knock-on effect on the following weekend.

Of the games originally announced for Amazon's Tuesday, only Burnley v Man City will actually be played then due to the four games the Sunday before. Palace v Bournemouth could be on Tuesday too, but is currently scheduled a day later. Amazon won't want all their games dumped on one day, so at least a couple will be on Thursday, probably the ones featuring teams on Super Sunday the following weekend.

Who has the most power over the days between BT and Sky's normal Saturday picks and Amazon being able to put games on Thursday is a mystery at the moment, but if our Newcastle game ends up on Thursday, Norwich away will be moved as well.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

I'm obviously a bloody dinosaur. No idea why Amazon Prime are messing with the fixtures lists. Just need to know if the Newcastle games on Tuesday or the day after

Because they have the rights to that week?

 

[HighfieldBlade]

No idea what Amazon have got to do with footy fixtures. Like I said I know fuck all about who's calling the shots here. I'm a dinosaur. Do Amazon show games like sky and BT? Just trying to book the correct day off work to get to the Newcastle game.

How many games have Amazon got that week? All of them or selected ones?

 

[Addison]

Geordies local paper are saying Amazon have selected us for the Tuesday night. How can we be forced to play 2 games in three days because of television. Club needs to complain to EPL if true.

Yes. They have that game week.

 

[Mojo]

The wolves game is pushed back to Sunday cause they are playing in Europe on the Thursday so it's utter bollocks if this means we then have to play 2 games in 3 days

 

[Champagneblade]

Need this sorting because they are two winnable games. We don't want to be dropping points because we're knackered.

I think we could safely say that Liverpool certainly would NOT be scheduled to play 2 games in 3 days.

UTB.

 

[Hodgesleftpeg]

Wolves are stil down to play on the Tuesday, if that’s the case they’ve got it worse than us, 3 games in 5 days.

the games are split quite evenly over the two days, can’t see two being brought forward so us and Wolves can play on Wednesday

 

[WORKSOPBLADE]

This doesn’t look good for NYD either !!
Would also mean fa cup game following weekend would move to Sunday !!

 

[WORKSOPBLADE]

Would mean 5 games moved due to Wolves in Europe and Liverpool game on tv !!!
