The Boxing Day 3pm and other bank holiday 3pm as it's a full programme at 3pm (give or take a few) would be treated as if it were a Saturday because most are kicking off simultaneously hence it is treated as such.

WarksRobin Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 I misread the thread title as Boring Day fixtures. Seems appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know fixtures are supposed to be random, but like the other Sunday when Sky showed 3 back to back local derbies, then this day isn't exactly fixtures that would normally get a great viewing public for, it does make me wonder how "random" these fixtures are?

They're not completely random though phantom. There are a lot of criteria surrounding that 'randomness' and things like there must be X games on Y number of weekends between teams from Group Z are stipulated. With X being maybe 2, Y being 10 and Z being last season's Top 6 for example. So whilst it is 'random' the kinds of things you are referring to will necessarily occur because of the criteria laid out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers @Coxy27 I hadn't realised that, I thought it was just something like club X has requested not to play at home on **/**/** etc I guess this gives Sky even more control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say to the others they should do the Boxing Day sales. Plant the idea in the morning, suggest they do it after lunch. After food send them off "don't worry about washing up, we'll do it*, take your time, spend a few hours looking..." (*to get in good books) Watch footie while they're out. Everyone wins (except your bank balance perhaps- and hopefully not Brentford) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't someone say in a previous thread that Ashton Gate had used its quoter of matches or airtime or licence etc so that's why the Millwall game wasn't on.. Maybe that's the case here or maybe can only show half boxing day and maybe half new years day or something.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highburnred Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 I don't think they have enough red button channels to show all the matches if all teams are playing, that's why the midweek fixtures are more evenly split over two nights now so they can show them all.

I hadn`t thought of that. Hopefully we`ll get our chance against Stoke on NY Day then. I`m going to Brentford but not that one so from a purely selfish point of view I hope we are on.

Blimey RRH, if I can fly over from Norn Iron to be at the Bet365 for the New Year's Day game, you can jolly well drive up the M5, M6, A500, A50 and take first turning on left for the ground! However, you could justifiably respond by saying I could jolly well fly over for all the home matches that you're going to! In which case, if I've persuaded you to go to Stoke now, let me know and I'll gladly buy you a pint. I'll even tell you where we're meeting up!
