Guest Bilo Posted 2 October 2009 Posted 2 October 2009 This actually works for me, was gonna have to miss it due to work but now I can do an early shift and drive up the M1 afterwards to make it in time. For once, cheers Sky Same here. Thought I'd ending missing this with going back home for Chrimbo, but this gives me plenty of time. You haven't fecked me up this time Murdoch!
Corky Posted 2 October 2009 Posted 2 October 2009 Still hope to go to this one. Boxing Day matches are always a bugger to get to due to the lack of public transport.
Bert Posted 2 October 2009 Posted 2 October 2009 Doesn't really make that much of a difference to be honest. There's no public transport that day, (at least i don't think so) so it's either walk or car and they'd be doing that anyway. Massive help to all them who will be driving to the game after a night on the alcohol, with getting alcohol out of the system and all that jazz. It'll help people who are away at Christmas and can't get to the game, and like James said, we can watch Jeff then go to the game. Top Stuff.
lcfcadam Posted 2 October 2009 Posted 2 October 2009 And it's not like it is a MEGA disruption on people, not like they moved it to xmas day at 6pm, or xmas eve at 6pm. Reading and QPR I class as MEGA disruptions for away and home fans, moving the game back 3 hours as opposed to 2 days is more reasonable. To be honest you've got to accept that some games are gonna be moved and as you say, this is surely about as UNdisruptive as it's possible to be. In fact come to think of it, it could be a really unusual atmosphere playing at twilight on Boxing Day - don't remember ever experiencing that in the past, Winter evening games usually just mean pissing cold Tuesday nights against teams like Palace. Should be good fun I reckon...
Sparky Posted 2 October 2009 Posted 2 October 2009 Brilliant , gets me out of the build up and preperation for the traditional boxing day doo , Ill just turn up late and aboard the steamboat CHOO CHOO
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 2 October 2009 Posted 2 October 2009 Don't mind this one to be honest, and quite lie playing at that sort of time. Hope it doesnt bring the attendance down.
syston_fox Posted 2 October 2009 Posted 2 October 2009 6pm on Boxing Day.Thats a joke of a kick off time. Thought you loved it when sky moved our games as it will benefit all those city fans who cant go......
Free Falling Foxes Posted 2 October 2009 Posted 2 October 2009 Boxing day - house full of in-laws for lunch etc Ahh, sorry I say - off to the City now. Sorry I can't stay. NOT NOW! Unless I can keep it secret somehow.
dandannieldanok Posted 2 October 2009 Posted 2 October 2009 I remember when we played Ispwich on boxing day it got moved to 6pm because of sky. Definitely the coldest I've ever been at a football match.
Matt Posted 2 October 2009 Posted 2 October 2009 Not overly bothered, probably suits me better tbh in the fact that on Boxing Day my family normally has a get together but I would have missed it to go to this game even prior to this KO change but now I can do both. Even though it has changed for the good in my case, I'm just abit peeved Sky have got their way again (As if there was any dispute anyway ) and disrupted fixtures yet again.
tartanowl Posted 2 October 2009 Posted 2 October 2009 We're playing Newcastle that day too and we've been moved for SKY. Sadly that will really affect our attendance for potentially one of our biggest games of the season. I hope you go one better this time and stuff the Pigs at the Walkers.
Koke Posted 2 October 2009 Posted 2 October 2009 Moan moan moan. Sounds like a great time to me. Spend the day eating turkey sandwiches, watching Jeff and drinking beer then go and watch some football. Agree. The change benefits me greatly.
Guest Posted 3 October 2009 Posted 3 October 2009 Boxing Day matches are always a bugger to get to due to the lack of public transport. Indeed; the limited bus service usually finishes around 6-7pm on Boxing Day, so that means more people driving, more demand on parking etc. Not that Murdoch cares owt about that....
Corky Posted 3 October 2009 Posted 3 October 2009 Indeed; the limited bus service usually finishes around 6-7pm on Boxing Day, so that means more people driving, more demand on parking etc. Not that Murdoch cares owt about that.... Taxis will probably be raking it in.
Guest Posted 3 October 2009 Posted 3 October 2009 Taxis will probably be raking it in. Don't know if it's still the same, but it used to be double fare on Boxing Day.
Head Honcho Posted 3 October 2009 Posted 3 October 2009 I may be working this day so sky may have done me a favour for a change. .................still fvcking hate sky though!
Leicester Rule! Posted 4 October 2009 Posted 4 October 2009 Whats the likelihood of Forest game getting moved? Can't seem to see Decembers SKy schedule ..... but presume this one could be one that is picked for TV!
Fosse Boy Posted 4 October 2009 Posted 4 October 2009 Whats the likelihood of Forest game getting moved?Can't seem to see Decembers SKy schedule ..... but presume this one could be one that is picked for TV! Already has been moved to 1 p.m. on police advice.
AjcW Posted 4 October 2009 Posted 4 October 2009 So not bothering to read this thread im guessing sky and Rupert Murdoch have been verbally raped and im the only one thats happy about this yes?
StanSP Posted 4 October 2009 Posted 4 October 2009 So not bothering to read this thread im guessing sky and Rupert Murdoch have been verbally raped and im the only one thats happy about this yes? Nah some people are quite happy due to work arrangements. But they still hate Murdoch/Sky

Katy Posted 4 October 2009 Posted 4 October 2009 Sky games being moved for home games i'm not too fussed about to be honest.And it's not like it is a MEGA disruption on people, not like they moved it to xmas day at 6pm, or xmas eve at 6pm. Reading and QPR I class as MEGA disruptions for away and home fans, moving the game back 3 hours as opposed to 2 days is more reasonable. This is an 'accetable' Sky re-schedule for once. And at least the Sheff Utd fans don't have to come miles and miles late on a boxing day as they're relatively close. What are we doing so right to warrant all this live coverage? Anyone would think we are Newcastle United at this rate. I'd love a Christmas Eve game, that would be lovely. It makes no odds to me personally on this occasion, although the Dock had better be open beforehand. It's annoying though that Sky think they can just twat around with our kick off times and days. They own us and I don't like it.
jonthefox Posted 4 October 2009 Posted 4 October 2009 I`ll have to be woken from my drunken , too much turkey , vegegtive state. still, its a good excuse for the mother in law to feck off.
