NewquayFox Posted 29 June 2015 Share Posted 29 June 2015 Sorry if this has already been posted but when are the August live game fixtures out? Up the City...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffs Fox Posted 29 June 2015 Share Posted 29 June 2015 Dunno but you'd think it'd have to be bloody soon, the season begins in 5 and half weeks! For fans wanting to book away travel for the opening week (we're lucky as we've got an extra week) giving them just 5 weeks to arrange travel and/or accommodation is not good enough, My mate is a Villa season ticket holder and can't book his train, hotel and time off work for Bournemouth because it's likely to be moved to the Sunday but cannot guarantee it Obviously SKY/BT don't give a shit about that though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballwipe Posted 29 June 2015 Share Posted 29 June 2015 They're hoping to get them done by the end of this week by all accounts. If they haven't announced August and September's fixtures by the end of the week it's a shambles. I think every fan who travels away is on pause until these fixtures are announced.

Smiffy Fox Posted 29 June 2015 Share Posted 29 June 2015 I'm sure I read somewhere that Sky and Bt will announce the TV games on 2nd July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can vouch for that. It's pissing me off. Is there any reason they can't do it on the same day, or even during the time the actual fixtures are announced? Annoying. Watch them go and move Bournemouth away to a Monday for us. Hit the jackpot on the fixture date to then have it taken away. That'd be SKY-like.

Hit the jackpot on the fixture date to then have it taken away. That'd be SKY-like. Now Sky have to fanny around with BT it's worse than ever. There is a huge technical aspect of the TV rights, meaning Sky can "pass" on some rounds so BT have first pick. Of course with teams having maximum quotas in each package, maximum number of times shown, minimum number of times shown, this is why it gets complex and takes so long. The passing might be because it's a poor week of fixtures, but it might be to force BT to go with a game that will in the long term cost them a pick for another match because of these pack quotas. Their negotations last year were difficult because of this, so if they do get them by the end of the week then it's probably an achievement. Horrible though, it's likely Tottenham and Arsenal will be the most lilely games moved in the first two months for us, though the one actual away fixture I really care about at the moment, Norwich, won't be decided until August Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnfox Posted 29 June 2015 Share Posted 29 June 2015 Sky's live game on Sunday 9th August is LA Galaxy v Seattle Sounders. We are unaffected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Walsh5 Posted 30 June 2015 Share Posted 30 June 2015 Football league TV fixtures announced today, so I'd imagine the premiership fixtures we'll be announced by the end of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
