Bristol Rob Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 From a purely selfish point of view, this is great as I was unlikely to have travelled. However, two games requiring an almost impossible effort to attend on a Friday night? Sky are taking the wee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we reached the Championship Play-off Final in 08 we were on TV at least 9 times. These are the matches I recall from memory: Man C, Sheffield Wed, Sheffield United, Watford, Stoke, C Palace then C Palace twice in semis of play offs and then Hull City in final.

Fat Cigar Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 If we go up, get used to this crap. 12.30 kick offs away to Burnley or Bournemouth. Don't blame SKY or any TV company though. It's our football clubs to blame. When you agree to these TV deals, this is what you get. We are at the mercy of TV bosses. In my own little world, matches kicking off outside the normal 3pm would be between clubs no more than 90 odd mins apart by car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City fan 1982 Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 we are the entertainers, and the nation wants to see more of us as do sky ! just a thought as this will be bonus money coming into the club, whats the harm in paying for a few coaches at this expensive time of year, a goodwill gesture from the club, fans will be happy, and im sure the players would like to see a few hundred more fans at the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or more often then not when presented with deals they're often threatened to lose funding they get given if they refuse (EPPP for example).

RedM Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 Had wanted to go to at least one of those game if not both. Had earmarked them instead of QPR and Villa over Xmas and doubt if I’ll do Watford too having just been there this season. So I fancied Derby and Bolton, Grrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombie Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 After Bolton, we are left with 8 away games, assuming we’re not on Sky again away from home (unlikely imo) am I right thinking we can beam back half of those(4)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZiderEyed Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 Friday is a ******* stupid time for football tbh. Saturday 3:00 and Tuesday 7:45 is as fair as it'll get.

Still not as shite as 5:30 on a Saturday. It bollixes up the whole day if you live a fair way away like I do. At least a 3pm KO I`m home by 7.
