Matt Posted 20 February 2014 Posted 20 February 2014 Pissed about this, quite fancied this. Fancied Burnley aswell but that was moved a few weeks ago. Looking quite likely I won't be able to get to another away game this season, my away attendance has been piss poor this season - Been a great season aswell! Whilst i'm happy to be listening on the radio for away games and listening to us win gutted I can't have experienced the euphoria.
Harry - LCFC Posted 20 February 2014 Posted 20 February 2014 You can dislike it all you want. I'm not mocking anybody, this is basic common sense. Something which was always going to be on the cards, we are top so we will be televised often, Burnley will have the same, as will QPR. Just have to take it on the chin. I realise that but telling disappointed people to 'shut up moaning' is hardly what they want to hear. There are far better ways to get your point across.
Walshy5 Posted 20 February 2014 Posted 20 February 2014 Wanted to do this aswell as ive never been reading! Not much chance now. ****ing sky!
Soar Fox Posted 20 February 2014 Posted 20 February 2014 How many games did Cardiff have on sky between March and the end of the season last year?
Native Fox Posted 20 February 2014 Posted 20 February 2014 Wasn't going to go to this one anyway. Horrible club.
CloudFox Posted 20 February 2014 Posted 20 February 2014 Balls. This was going to be mine and my two mates' reunion shindig, but no way on hell can they get to this now. Probably the only away I can get to for the rest of this season now too
Bert Posted 21 February 2014 Posted 21 February 2014 Oh come on Bert. There will be a few in a similar boat to you. But this is hardly surprising, we are top of the league, so Sky will show our games. Fixture changes were always coming, & some will work out better than others. What would you rather have? Us being mid table, and not getting much tv coverage at all? It's not surprising. But that doesn't give you the right to tell people to stop moaning about it. People are well within their rights to do so. Especially as it could well be the game where we confirm promotion. I would be mega pissed off if it's the only game I have to miss and we get promoted there. Even next season if games get moved to Monday nights I'll still be miffed. I want to go to every single game, but being in a job where you work all around the country doesn't make this possible. I hate missing games. I can handle games being moved around for early/late kick offs on Saturday and for TV Sunday but Monday nights are just a complete pain in the arse. It's great for the fans that know they'll never be able to make it, can't afford it or have to choose which games to go to because of finances though.

It's great for the fans that know they'll never be able to make it, can't afford it or have to choose which games to go to because of finances though. But are people gonna moan everytime a kick off get's changed? Like you said yourself it's not surprising, it was highly likely to happen as we are top. How will you feel though, if we get promoted and we are shown on Monday night football, we could be shown 3-4 times on a Monday night, rather than just the occasional one in the Championship, what are you going to do then?
1964FOX Posted 21 February 2014 Posted 21 February 2014 absolutely awful for our away following and even worse if we are sill in the promotion race.

Well that depends on the situation I find myself in doesn't it. But people are well within their rights to have a moan, in this instance.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 21 February 2014 Posted 21 February 2014 Booked the day off for this today. Minibus trip with the lads should be a potential promotion winning match
Fox92 Posted 21 February 2014 Posted 21 February 2014 I get that it's understandable, especially considering our position, I just feel Sky are (always) inconsiderate. Fans want to attend away games, then have to totally change their plans due to other commitments. People might not even be able to attend now, and give our position, form and how we are playing its a great shame. This doesn't just apply to our fans, but to every set of fans in the country. It is about time something is done in terms of attempting to appeal to Sky or something, I don't know. It's just a shame and a frustration. I wish they'd either leave football alone or just go into liquidation as a company.
Dr The Singh Posted 21 February 2014 Posted 21 February 2014 Love sky at the mo, 4 matches moved, so I can watch then
CongyFox Posted 21 February 2014 Posted 21 February 2014 No doubt SKY will show that game as well! Sky are showing that game too, moved to 12.15 kick off.
Voll Blau Posted 21 February 2014 Posted 21 February 2014 Fvck it. Monday night is student night in Reading. Overnighter is on.
sylofox Posted 21 February 2014 Posted 21 February 2014 Sky are running a business that puts a huge amount into the game. They will pick top of the table clashes. And at this point of the season will pick out possible promotion parties. And relegation if a big club is involved ie us wednesday florist. Would you rather the minimum games on sky sat mid table or going up and a little disruption to fixtures. It will only ever get worse the more they pay the more games they want for it. We all want the cash but none want to pay the price. Some of us can go back to the 70's end of in my case and the kop cost me 25p. At 16 a season ticket was £14. If you want some reality on that 20 fags was 58p they in that time have gone up around ten times on average. Football has gone up about 60 times. He who pays the piper we all want the dream. The players jumped on the band wagon and owners allowed it. The owners sold the soul it's not a game a sport or a past time watch park football if you want 3.00p kick offs 2.30pm in the winter.
sylofox Posted 21 February 2014 Posted 21 February 2014 Oh and nxt season forget sky we have 12 fixtures that could be sunday without sky moving them. Euro fixtures. Or praps you would rather we did not go up? Your choice support a winning team or a mid table team.
VinceNoir Posted 21 February 2014 Posted 21 February 2014 Ooh, I'll be boarding a plane in Dubai while our boys run on to the pitch to hopefully clinch promotion. Fingers crossed my dad will sport a blue and white scarf and pop a bottle of champagne when he picks me up at the airport back in Denmark!
Dan Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 It's understandable Bert is annoyed, and it's ok to be annoyed. But like I said this was always going to happen, we are top of the league, so Sky will want to show our games. We will get a lot more fixtures moved if we get promoted, we will get more Monday night matches than just the occasional one in the Championship. Will the same people still moan then? If we're getting shafted four weeks running with only 3 Saturday 3pm's in our last 13 games then yes, I will be. I can accept some being moved - ten in one season is ****ing ridiculous and it happens to us every season. No I don't give a shit if they think we're decent - I don't need $ky making our attendances shitter to tell me how good we are.
Dan Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 How many games did Cardiff have on sky between March and the end of the season last year? Less than us (shocker) Cardiff had three - Watford away, Burnley away and Hull away, the last one there was the final game which saw Hull promoted and Burnley away saw Cardiff promoted, Watford away saw Mackay return to Watford. Just out of interest, Leicester had four over the same period - Derby away, Millwall home, Birmingham home, Watford home, for a side that over that time struggled to sixth. We've had four moved from March 29th onwards and I still think that four weekends on the spin could become six. I can see them moving Huddersfield and Doncaster yet. It's a stupid excuse from people saying it's cause we're top. They take the piss of Leicester & Leeds. Sky are running a business that puts a huge amount into the game. They will pick top of the table clashes. And at this point of the season will pick out possible promotion parties. And relegation if a big club is involved ie us wednesday florist.

The players jumped on the band wagon and owners allowed it. The owners sold the soul it's not a game a sport or a past time watch park football if you want 3.00p kick offs 2.30pm in the winter. I as a fan can happily live without $ky's excessive money which has bred complacency from clubs up and down the country. Give us safe standing, proper ticket prices and more relaxed rules and you can do whatever with a TV deal.
Soup Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 Love sky at the mo, 4 matches moved, so I can watch then Get rid of SKY and get a season ticket.Easy.
