Dan Posted 27 June 2013 Posted 27 June 2013 I'd probably rather that but also dislike early kick-offs a lot. If only it was 5:20.
Libertine Posted 27 June 2013 Posted 27 June 2013 I noticed a 4.30 Sunday kick off for one of ours. Is this new for Sky or anything to do with the new BT Sports?
Chilwell_Fox Posted 27 June 2013 Posted 27 June 2013 Football for TV needs restructuring. I think all Championship, League 1 and 2 games should be Saturday 3pm kick offs. With the exception of one game at 5.30 for TV. Maybe even have a League 1 game changed for Friday. Then all Premier league games should be played on Sunday with about 4 live games for TV and one Monday night game.Â

Â I think that's just for the opening couple of weekends, before the Premier League get's going. Â Premier League BT Sport games will be Saturday lunchtime as well.

It's no good to them to have a jam packed weekend and nothing to show for the rest of the week.
Chilwell_Fox Posted 27 June 2013 Posted 27 June 2013 Football league and premier league need to get some balls then. Â Sky want games on most if not all nights of the week. It's no good to them to have a jam packed weekend and nothing to show for the rest of the week.
Ric Flair Posted 27 June 2013 Posted 27 June 2013 I prefer friday evenings, it means if we win then you're weekend is set up to get arseholed for the next 48 hours.
Corky Posted 27 June 2013 Posted 27 June 2013 Personally, any Saturday time is preferable to a Thursday/Friday/Monday. Â Later kick-offs are probably better but I can cope with lunchtime matches.
Jimmy Posted 27 June 2013 Posted 27 June 2013 speaking as someone that has to work Saturday nights, 12:30ko's play hell with my sleep pattern, would prefer ever 5.20 or Friday nights
GingerrrFox Posted 27 June 2013 Posted 27 June 2013 Much prefer Friday nights to early Saturdays. I hate early kick offs with a pashunnnn!
nickyboy Posted 27 June 2013 Posted 27 June 2013 I noticed a 4.30 Sunday kick off for one of ours. Is this new for Sky or anything to do with the new BT Sports? Think that's due to the game following on from the Charity (sorry Community) Shield, I could be wrong though
goose2010 Posted 27 June 2013 Posted 27 June 2013 Saturday Lunch is alright but means you can get on the booze with soccer Saturday on in the background followed by the late kick off gameÂ
Unabomber Posted 27 June 2013 Posted 27 June 2013 Are EPSN still going to be showing premier league games with BT coming into the picture?
Ford Super Sunday Posted 27 June 2013 Posted 27 June 2013 Doesn't say anything about Thursdays! Â We're stuck with them, unfortunately. Take this quote from page 24 of the tender document... Â Package Four: The Football League Live Match Package 4 The right and obligation to Transmit live a total of 10 Matches from The Championship on a Thursday evening, of which a minimum of six in any Season may be selected on a first pick basis from Matches scheduled to be played on a mid-week night (excluding any Bank Holidays) in the fixture list, and the remainder picked from either midweek or weekend fixtures as available. Â
Corky Posted 27 June 2013 Posted 27 June 2013 How many Thursday night game have been shown in recent years? Â I can only think of our two games (barring the play-offs, which I assume don't count?)
Tincy Posted 27 June 2013 Posted 27 June 2013 Prefer Friday night games, as can get al the gang round and watch on Sky with a few beers
