Manwell Pablo Posted 2 November 2012 Share Posted 2 November 2012 Think you lot need to calm down, with the Tigers, TV, and other teams playing in Europe, it'll be three times as bad if we go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964FOX Posted 2 November 2012 Share Posted 2 November 2012 Very strange fixture, as others have said same as Derby last year and we seem to be the ones getting them. To try and make it ok last year I went on a pub crawl around Derby from midday, was very good and help make up for the ridiculous time of the fixture. As this is my day off I will be repeating the event and start off in the city centre at around 1200, hopefully my mate will be free but everyone is welcome to join us.

Manwell Pablo Posted 2 November 2012 Share Posted 2 November 2012 It's not just champions league highlights though is it, it's about 4 live matches a week minimum. I'm not going to pretend seeing Leicester is the only football I enjoy watching, Sky is also far better value for money than going to see us. You can't expect people to boycott something everytime they are displeased with it, otherwise nobody would pay for anything. So what your saying is your quite happy to have them move everyone else's games so you can watch them but the minute they do something that impacts on you that's not allowed ??

Leicesterpool Posted 2 November 2012 Share Posted 2 November 2012 I'm doubtful for this, I don't finish college till 4:30 on a Thursday plus in early the next day. So that's me out then, the only good thing about this for me is now I can see Boro play at Stockport on the 2nd Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted 2 November 2012 Share Posted 2 November 2012 Is there an opt in/out option for clubs for TV revenue - and therefore TV company's can't fuck about with games? I mean obviously its an easy money maker - clubs are clearly going to opt in, but surely if it's not compulsory to opt in surely the club is as much to blame as Sky or people that buy into Sky/The club. I'm not slagging the club off, I'm not moaning at the club, like I say clubs are obviously going to opt in, it's an easy money maker (Although, being on TV they will miss out on ticket sales, shop sales - although I dare say the TV revenue outweighs the losses on ticket sales/shop sales) but i'm just playing devils advocate and asking the question - If anyone knows.

Leicester_Loyal Posted 2 November 2012 Share Posted 2 November 2012 Lets face it lads, football is ruined, it has been for years and it will continue to get worse. Hopefully attendances across the country continue to drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl the Llama Posted 2 November 2012 Share Posted 2 November 2012 At first I thought all the people moaning about Thursday football were being prima donnas, after all we can't be the only team in the Ch'ship to play on a Thursday so I headed over to the BBC results/fixtures pages. As it turns out we aren't the only ones playing on a Thursday, Wolves are playing a Thursday match too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it's a lot of money per televised match they get, wastild by someone in the know at the club it's £90,000 and that was two seasons ago. Makes more than enough up for the people they lose on the gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Walsh5 Posted 2 November 2012 Share Posted 2 November 2012 Do the club offer season ticket holders any money back or complimentary cup tickets if they have so many games moved from a Saturday to accommodate games being moved for TV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah like I said, clubs would be stupid to turn it down, it's alot of money, easy money, but was just wondering out of interest if there was an option for clubs to opt in or out. Perhaps if all clubs stuck together and opt out maybe the TV companys would stop just a little - especially changing games to a bastard Thursday night. - If all clubs did it and stuck together, the money lost from TV revenues would be across the board and there would be no advantage from one club to another - However £90,000 is a few of weeks wages for a couple of players I suppose. I'm just playing devils advocate like I said before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walshy5 Posted 2 November 2012 Share Posted 2 November 2012 What pisses me off is that you fork out for a season ticket and thats now 5 games i could have just watched on TV .

Last year they did it where if you missed a game you could take a friend to another game for free. You could charge them for the free ticket - if you were that desperate to make the money back I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After watching the performances last year I would have felt embarrassed even asking a friend to go with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluetintedspecs Posted 2 November 2012 Share Posted 2 November 2012 I'm normally laid back over stuff like this, however I feel the club/sky are now taking the piss! My lad travels down from Sheffiels Uni for matches and having forked out for his season ticket I'm reaching boiling point as midweek matches are a bridge too far when he's got early lectures or labs.So when a Saturday match is moved to a Thursday night it's saying we don't give a rats ass about the impact on you fans who commit and pay up front. I am sure there is small print about fixtures subject to change but come on! Evaluating what my savings actually are with all these fixture changes is not filling me with joy.

Corky Posted 2 November 2012 Share Posted 2 November 2012 If it was already a midweek match, moved from the Wednesday say, it's not as big an issue, it would still have been on a midweek and inconvinienced some. Now, moving from a weekend, they'll lose out on more people coming down to the ground. But I suppose the money from Sky will make up the loss on ticket sales.

jonthefox Posted 2 November 2012 Share Posted 2 November 2012 For us 9 to fivers i won't make much difference. Whilst were here, does anyone know how much sky pay per game?. Every time we get a midlands derby we seem to be on sky, thus limiting the attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acooling08 Posted 2 November 2012 Share Posted 2 November 2012 F F S Weekday nights are shit for football. The atmosphere and attendance will be SHIT. The performance will be SHIT (always is weekdays). **** this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaMaleFox Posted 2 November 2012 Share Posted 2 November 2012 Not so much to blame but they're contributing to SKY's power in football by paying them (increasing) prices. We've got it in our house but I don't pay for it and when I get my own place I won't be giving them a single penny, I can live without Champions League highlights if it means not giving in to those horrible, plastic, pretend 'fan' cvnts. Do you watch it? It's not just champions league highlights though is it, it's about 4 live matches a week minimum. I'm not going to pretend seeing Leicester is the only football I enjoy watching, Sky is also far better value for money than going to see us.

Fox92 Posted 2 November 2012 Share Posted 2 November 2012 Ruined totally. Decent side, good away support which would probably make a good game but Thursday is ridiculous and I can't make it now because I have uni all day Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilo Posted 2 November 2012 Share Posted 2 November 2012 Seriously, Sky can fvck off, they're not even doing it for the number of viewers anymore, I'm convinced they're doing this to get at fans who attend games, for whatever reason. That is an absolute fvcking joke. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Inconvenient kick-off times = Less fans able to attend games Less fans able to attend games = Lower ticket sales Lower ticket sales = More people at home More people at home = More Sky subscriptions It's entirely deliberate.
