StanSP Posted 25 January 2019 Posted 25 January 2019 BT Sport now choosing our game on that day as Everton vs Man City postponed due to the latter in the EFL Cup final.
Dan Posted 25 January 2019 Posted 25 January 2019 Shite if you're a Palace fan who's booked a train. Always up for half 5 though.
The_77 Posted 25 January 2019 Posted 25 January 2019 Everyone around the world can watch Palace whoop us again.
Sunbury Fox Posted 25 January 2019 Posted 25 January 2019 You're joking. That's two games running where I've booked tickets thinking it would be a 3pm Saturday game only for Sky/BT to subsequently choose it as a TV game and move the KO time. It's especially annoying if like me and my boys you travel a long way to games. I think the club should allow refunds in cases where this happens. Or perhaps stop selling tickets for games months before they are due to take place.
fazzyfox Posted 25 January 2019 Posted 25 January 2019 I just read the Sky list and saw just Watford away so thought great they've left our home games alone.....forgot about BT though! Sympathy with above sentiments, I don't know if these announcement dates are known to clubs or not but the Man Utd tickets went on sale to members one morning and by mid afternoon the date had changed, I know our sales schedule is published well in advance but it would have made sense to have some kind of synchronicity between the two things when they're going to be that close anyway.

smr Posted 25 January 2019 Posted 25 January 2019 Bit annoying, that's my Birthday, had planned to go home first and get ready before going out for a drink and meal. I'll be rushing now to get home and go out.

The Doctor Posted 25 January 2019 Posted 25 January 2019 23 minutes ago, Papasmurf said: Maybe you should wait until the TV games are announced before you buy train tickets. The TV games had been announced. This is a late mess around because Man City, who did have the slot, aren't playing in the league that weekend now
CosbehFox Posted 25 January 2019 Posted 25 January 2019 Absolute snide move by them. We should as a set of fans be complaining about this. I accept television companies have their right but once they have announced their choices, it should not change. Away fans and Leicester fans from outside of the city will have booked travel home. As they saw the game not selected
Wrighty22 Posted 25 January 2019 Posted 25 January 2019 Complain all you want it’ll never change. Sky and BT have too much power.
Foxes1 Posted 25 January 2019 Posted 25 January 2019 Trouble is clubs agree to accept the payments and the money Sky / BT put into the game so they can't complain about it and it affects the fans who go to the games, clubs / TV companies nowadays couldn't give a shit about them its all about the armchair fans these days.

boots60 Posted 25 January 2019 Posted 25 January 2019 Every league game to kick.off at 3.00 on a saturday. Well it worked for over a hundred years.
m4DD0gg Posted 25 January 2019 Posted 25 January 2019 Whats with all the games on TV, i draw my curtains in shame the times we are on TV the way puel has them playing.
Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 25 January 2019 Posted 25 January 2019 Mightily inconvenient for those of of us travelling long distances, as I was planning to. May revisit now. Bastards

Palace was initially a 3pm and as others have said, it was caused by the League Cup final dropping a few tv games that weekend in the PL. Also, because so many PL clubs got through in Europe, the December announcement was delayed by about a week. Otherwise, every home game wouldn't have gone on sale until after the confirmed times. Blame the PL for not sticking to dates rather than the club.
