Games Moved for TV (2020/21)

[StanSP]

Not sure where that topic went... 

Liverpool moved to Sunday 7.15pm

 

Fulham moved to Monday 30th November, 17.30

7-15 pm …..is that a standard sky live game ?  strange timing …..

 

obvs they've moved it as late as they can to get liverpool's players fit and salah to give a negative test result!

Similarly the matchday album covers one has disappeared (before the last game) too.

Nah but I think it's just an extra slot for TV companies to use. BBC have had it a few times but they've got the 12pm fixture between Fulham and Everton earlier that day.

talksport are such arseholes - they just headlined the sport news saying that xmas and new year games would be non ppv with no mention that all games from now on will be non ppv

Our match v Fulham is Monday evening and then we're away to Zora Thursday - not happy with that scheduling, with that being our longest away trip.

Very clever by Sky to maximise profits. Games are 8 days apart so you can't see both on a weekly NowTV pass. Bastids.

Well, for us yeah. But Sky don't just show us

I doubt even they're as cynical as that. 

[Corky]

I really hope Sunday evening games are just happening whilst we can't go.

 

I fear they may become a permanent slot.

Salah is going to miss it regardless ain’t he as I thought it was a standard 14 days isolation that the FA are doing

Don't you think? I don't have a Sky contract and buy NowTV passes as required. Last week was the first I've ever seen Sky show us twice in a 7 day period (Leeds and Wolves).

If we can get a win against Braga the week before we'll pretty much be qualified. Plus Zorya are the worst team in the group, so we should be able to use the squad and rest some first teamers.

Winning the group gives us, possibly, a better draw in the next round potentially avoiding clubs dropping out of the UCL. it also nets half a million quid, I think.

sunday evening yet again *sigh*

So come the end of November & we still have not had a game on a Saturday.

Saturdays were going to be limited with the Europa games on Thursdays anyway to be fair.

True but that's because of our results. Still think it's a bit harsh in principle. I suppose it's our punishment for upsetting their 'big six'....

And we're pretty much utilising the full squad due to injuries already. Who are the first team now

True, but I really thought Liverpool would be at some time on the Saturday. Spuds away on December 19 the next opportunity

The £14.95  is not dead yet.

 

 

But while it has been scrapped for now, Premier League chief executive Richard Masters has intimated that it could return, in one incarnation or another, in 2021.

"We took the decision to move to pay-per-view, now we're reviewing that decision," he told the Department for Culture, Media and Sport earlier this week.

"We will be changing direction and moving away from it and taking another step that will see us through lockdown, the Christmas period and into January, but I cannot say what it is."

Masters said last month the £14.95 price was "defensible."

Win the next game we’ve won the group as it’s head to head which decides tied points rather than GD. Only way they could change is AEK winning all their games
