Sky TV fixture changes

[whiteswan]

From a completely selfish point of view, they suit me.

I’ll be at the Stoke game, of course, and the Friday night game allows me to have a few beers and watch the game.

Not great for the travelling fans though, late night get home is that.

Had booked flights and hotel for the Sunderland game which was scheduled for Wed 4th Mar which has now been moved so TNT can show it. Flights lost or pay £49 each flight to change them and hotel price has gone up after the Christmas sale closed. This will probably affect 100’s of overseas fans who spend a fortune each season following their teams. Not a happy chappy

It gets worse, this is the add on for the Brentford game, couldn’t make it up.

This is why I have stopped going

It's awkward enough moving the game time but changing the day is ridiculous.

Leeds are as much to blame for this as the broadcaster because they and the rest are too dependant on the TV money.

We can’t even apply for tickets for a few weeks yet so we could rebook this and still not get to the game. We try to get over 5/6 times per season & have this stih every time, clubs need to start putting more pressure on Sky etc but they don’t want to upset the golden goose 🪿

It’s my intention to try for Brentford tickets - so long as the game doesn’t move to the Sunday, I’m going up to Newcastle for the Amsterdam ferry on Sunday night. This is so bloody annoying, even more so for you guys on the wrong side of the Irish Canal.

Seems like they’re going to move the time of the Brentford game rather than the day so you should be ok but who knows. Enjoy Amsterdam

[Barlow Boy]

It’s absolutely scandalous.

I’m only 30 odd miles away, and retired, so doesn’t affect me that much but it’s still so annoying.

The Brentford thing is an absolute farce.

Why disrupt four team’s fixtures just for TV?
Leeds, Brentford, Liverpool and Chelsea
Why don’t they choose another fixture that only disrupts two?

Regarding the quote, it originally was 15.00 - then it’s been moved to 12.30 depending on Chelsea but could also be 17.30 depending on Liverpool but will be 20.00 if things run smoothly for the PL - is that right?

This is scandalous!

You can understand why Leeds fans sing SKY TV is f**king.

This one was changed for TNT, they’re all the same though

What the Flip do Leeds Utd and Brentford have to do with Chelscum and the scousers. I'm not going to the game but this really has got my gander up for those of you who are attempting to get there. Hopefully the aforementioned scousers and blues get knocked out of their respective comps.

(That's if I've properly understood what's supposed to be happening )

You're right Cussie, and they have that in common with al the football clubs

[billysboots]

I’m going to the Brentford game, we’re flying out of Dublin at 6.25 am and staying overnight in Leeds so we should be ok.

Indeed, they are, absolutely no regard for the travelling attendees.

Personally, I don’t mind any of the time changes apart from 12.30, don’t like early KOs and I might be working until 13.30 but it’s crap for any fans of any clubs who’ve made plans for any games, yes even scum

That’s it in a nutshell Finn, I feel for the Brentford fans as well trying to organise transport to & from the game, we’re all just the cash cows that make these ws rich.

Was enraged to see this this morning. Second year in a row it's caught me, west brom was moved on me last year. I booked flights for Brentford last November predicated on a 3pm game

It’s catch 22, book your flights early so you can afford them and take a chance it’s not moved or wait till Sky etc perform their fu**ery and flights & hotels are through the roof.
Leeds don’t exactly help things either by only releasing ticket sales 2/3 weeks before a game meaning you’ve spent a fortune & still not see the game.
Just rebooked new flights having lost the money on the original ones.
