reddogkev Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 Does anyone know why this game is a 12.30 kick off? Seems very odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too true, 3.00pm on a Saturday afternoon was made for football. 12.31 is utter nonsense. It's right over bloody lunch time for one thing. I would love to know how many Europeans are making the effort to watch City v Shrewsbury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some sort of streaming or overseas deal between FA and broadcasters. Same reason why Huddersfield was 5.30pm and why FA Cup kick off times choppy.

I was told that the company who transmit these games don't have an agreement to show any Premiership sides, it is the same company that do the weekly coverage that Quest take their main game coverage from So essentially they could only pick EFL sides, with what the other TV companies are showing over the weekend, you could have thrown a dart at the remaining fixtures to choose a game to show When we were chosen we were playing good football and are apparently popular with foreign TV viewers - madness to us, but there is a kind of sensible reason for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed that Bristol City v Huddersfield last year was on one of those foreign streams- they were PL of course at that stage. The no PL clause sounds curious, but quite revealing about where the power lies in the English game now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting point, I had forgotten about that game - I must admit I thought this only impacted on the early kick offs this year. I wonder if the change is partly due to different TV companies having different time slots from this season. Thought this amusing of which countries were broadcasting our game last season - talk about random locations ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any family that doesn't pay much tax and lives primarily off the state could probably help mental health awareness and support substantially by dipping hands into pockets rather than making a tape to be honest.
