Why is it shite? Are they having a meltdown about playing on Christmas Eve over on tigers talk?

Games shouldn't be played on Xmas eve period. 4pm kick off, what about the away fans getting back up north. Just pure greed from sky.

Clubs, even the size of these two teams, shouldn't be hold to ransom and be forced to play whenever it suits £ky for their commercial gain.

Leave it as it is, as more messing around just to suit broadcasting companies will affect club's preparations even more difficult.

They need to knock the idea on the head but chances are they'll get their way like usual, although not for our game luckily.

As said above, Tigers play at home on Christmas eve, police would i assume rule this out for safety reasons. No way do they have the force size to cope with 60,000 odd fans and Christmas eve shoppers etc. Absolutely a stupid idea to even try to do it.

It’s not as if the Tigers game can be moved as Its already been moved once it was originally down for the 23rd it’s the only game that has been moved to the 24th so I’ll assume Bt are planning on showing it live

As much as it would be interesting to be at a game on christmas eve, i think at the same time its a stupid idea once again less time for players to have time off. Also fans many of us are busy christmas eve, imagine trying to getting back christmas eve for an 8pm kick off. Can imagine Stringer or Matt Elliot would be very happy on commentating either.

Is that an argument for, or against it? ?

If they absolutely have to have a Christmas eve game  (Why? There wasn't a round last year when it fell on a saturday), then pick stoke v West Brom-  the one that causes the absolute least havoc for fans.

Clubs and fans need to try and stop this. Liverpool have done well so far, I dunno if Sky turned their attention elsewhere.

 

If this happens there should be a boycott, no doubt about it.

Stoke v West Brom?  an Xmas eve spectacular!  Fairly confident that if that is the option they will shelve the idea and reschedule our game to the Friday night instead

It's not going to happen BT are showing the Tigers at 3pm and the two teams are not allowed to play on the same day.

Stoke v West Brom is the closest game, that's the point. They've already said there's no chance of the likes of Bournemouth being on because of distance.
