NZ_Foxile Posted 17 October 2019 Posted 17 October 2019 It’s not fair that some teams play on 29th and get a three day gap between games, and some play on the 28th. We have to play two days after an 8pm kick off, Liverpool don’t play until Sunday 29th. Surely puts us at a disadvantage compared to some.
CosbehFox Posted 17 October 2019 Posted 17 October 2019 So West Ham away isn't on TV - it's moved to 1730 to assist with resting time. Newcastle away appears to be shown on BT regardless. West Ham home is 1930 on TV as well. Loads of stuff here I didn't know they had rights too.

Absoloute joke.

In the last three years, I think we've had the shortest time span for all the games we've had to play, including two early kick-offs on New Year's Day/ 2nd and four games from the 23rd to the 1st of January. You really are at the mercy of the TV schedulers. I recall a few years ago that Southampton played on the 28th, 31st and 2nd away at Everton whilst Chelsea played on the 26th, 31st and 4th away at Tottenham. It is a lottery over this time.

Boxing Day is THE day. haha innit. i could probably have gone to the last 2 or 3 boxing day home games but haven't because the fact i'd miss like 6 or 7 hours of proper boxing day fun would've ruined me. banging it on tele is superb.

You just get the normal £7.99 a month prime. You get all the prime features, including the sport. They offer a lot of free trials too. I've used about 4 free trials but I currently have another one available to me so I'll probably claim that at the start of December. Also, if you or anyone you know is a student with an email address linked to a school/university, you can get a 6 month free trial.
Larry_LCFC Posted 17 October 2019 Posted 17 October 2019 8pm on boxing day is an absolute disgrace. What a stupid time for a football match the day after Christmas. No thought for travelling fans whatsoever .
stripeyfox Posted 17 October 2019 Posted 17 October 2019 FFS! First fixture I look for is Boxing Day because a home game means i don't have to go to the in laws and eat turkey and chips whilst trying to be nice to them all. Now an 8pm KO means I probably still have to go, but can't even have a beer! Seriously though, this is crap - even more so for the Liverpool fans.

That first week has knocked two other games back to Sunday- Sheffield United at Norwich and Southampton at Newcastle. Two awkward and long trips for the away fans on a Sunday morning.
Blue ROI Posted 17 October 2019 Posted 17 October 2019 As long as we keep up our form the Liverpool game on Boxing Day is the standout match that day. The fact that Liverpool have such a large worldwide support played a part in this. Adds pressure to pubs to subscribe to it being a busy day for them.

No thought for travelling fans whatsoever . It is. no doubt. I'm fuming because it really ruins my plans. BUT if we were a 3pm kick off, I'd be glad to get home and sit down and watch another PL game on TV with no real thought about the fans of those club affected. It is what it is I think. Clubs get way more money from TV than from gate receipts so unless there can be a mass boycott (which there won't be) we just have to suck it up
Donk Posted 17 October 2019 Posted 17 October 2019 What was wrong with my topic about not playing boxing day games?

Arkie Bennett Posted 17 October 2019 Posted 17 October 2019 I went to the recent West Brom v Huddersfield match, Sunday midday kick off. To air their protest, the Baggies fans chanted "fùch Sky Sports" from the start, but as only about 20 of them took part it was amusing rather than serious. These changed kick off times infuriate lots of fans but we're stuck with it as a consequence of our status.

Can always tell because that’s when the tv starts to get quieter..
urban.spaceman Posted 17 October 2019 Posted 17 October 2019 This’ll be controversial but I’m chuffed to be honest. I can’t get to matches all that often because I can rarely afford it and I’m always working (though I appreciate the ire of others); these changes make the games a bit more accessible for me to illegally stream them or go to my local who illegally stream them while giving me alcohol. Also, the more TV games we have the more money the club makes - £10m per game if I recall correctly. More money, more exposure is good for us.

Making it the evening game is more about domestic audience than global imo

If we can get tickets (and presumably we will be to as we are both members) I am wondering about just taking it a bit more relaxed and staying at the Holiday Inn. Anyone else stayed there to know how nice it is? We've stayed there before and it's fine, better than some other Holiday Inns
