Incredible isn’t it. How many fans do you see complaining about it on Twitter week in week out about games being moved and then how much they pay to subscribe in the next breath. 

A lot prefer dodgy boxes though!

everyone will be expecting some sort of celebration directed at Rooney if he scores won’t they. When in reality I suspect the two are on good terms 

The word ‘good’ doing some heavy lifting here.

No way a midday Sunday is horrific, Monday night is a lot better especially near Christmas

Have the Sunday afternoon in Birmingham  and be able to get a train back at a sensible time v not being able to get a train back (and good luck parking your car near St Andrews)

Come to our quiz in the evening, it'll more than make up for it 👍

What's this?

[Dan]

This is the sort of thing the Trust should be pushing for in my eyes - so the game kicks off at 20:00 and the last train back to Leicester is 22:22. I'm not saying they'll necessarily get anywhere, but it would be nice if they could push the club to push for trains back that we can actually get - but I doubt it even registers.

I’m convinced the 3PM blackout now protects Sky / TNT etc better than it does lower league clubs. 
 

The fact we have games being moved everywhere, causes major inconvenience to people wishing to attend these games. 
 

If they were in a fixed position, be that Saturday, or Sunday, then everyone would be a lot happier in my opinion. 
 

The blackout needs scrapping as the world is moving to a streaming service eventually anyway. It would have been great is DAZN had been given the rights to every football league game in this country.

Brum changed to Monday evening because sky will be selling it as Rooney v vardy and want to maximise audience 

Yep, boring to death fans who just want to watch football and not hear about two, what's a polite word I'm looking for, fame hungry trollops.

They showed every premier League game between sky and BT during Covid and it should have stayed like that - except with just one broadcaster

They’re both probably embarrassed they’ve even been dragged into this.

They probably shouldn't mess with the existing timetable that is there all the time and people probably rely on. Football specials should definitely be added in these instances though.

Birmingham was always going to be moved but i'd never ever considered it being moved to the Monday! A Friday/Sunday would have been acceptable.

The issue was always gonna be Norwich/Ipswich playing on that Sunday. That was always gonna be main choice on the TV.

You would think that football clubs would talk to train companies and put specials on. Only seem bothered if they think there's gonna be trouble.

[Nalis]

The dream scenario as a fvck you to Sky would be...

 

A touchline ban for Rooney for something he did the match before.

 

Vardy to get a slight knock on the 89th minute of the previous game when we intend on playing Nacho against Brum anyway. Then return Vardy for the following match.

There's a small chance another train is put on - when I lived in Brum, they'd often put another around 11 during December cos of the Xmas markets. 

 

Hence my previous jibe about arguing with nobs from Nuneaton on that service.

The thing that annoys me is our games get moved for the TV but nobody gives a toss about the Championship

Depending on who's in this division, it can be more lucrative for Sky than quite a few Premier League fixtures though. Games involving the likes of us, Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday, Sunderland and (when they were in it) Villa, Newcastle, West Ham will get more viewers than Bournemouth, Brentford, Luton etc because we have larger fanbases.

Yay! 

 

We're bigger than 3 PL clubs 

[StanSP]

Have any NYD games moved? Based on the dates EFL provided, they were meant to be announced by 4th Nov? But they're all currently at 3pm still based on BBC site.

Might be one where they show all simultaneously on the red button? Can technically get away with it as they're not Saturday 3pms.

I'd be willing to say we have a bigger worldwide "fanbase" than most outside the top 7 or 8 after what we have achieved this century.

Due to be announced by end of this week according to the dates published a few months back. Unless they have updated their guidance by now?
