RedM Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 I’ve amended the title to avoid confusion. And yes it does piss me off when games are scheduled to kick off at this time when ‘normally’ they wouldn’t. Exactly like the playoff game I am watching at the moment. We aren’t all flucking furloughed. Absurd time for the majority of people working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daored Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 As @RedM says a stupid kick off time people still working - if not selected for tv coverage why change the kick off times? Makes absolutely no sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps City want to get back to Bristol from Nottingham after the match? Longer journey for Hull though - depends what their travel/hotel arrangements (including location) are though.

Means they get back a good hour 45 earlier though, normal 19:45 kick off they wouldn't be back until after midnight. Seems like they've moved it forward as far as they can when most fans will be getting home so they can watch. If they didn't care about fans watching they'd have moved it to early afternoon.

Harry Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 Hey fans. We know you’ve paid for a full season of games, so we’ll give you the opportunity to watch all the remaining games on Robins TV. Sign up now. 1 Week Later.... We’re gonna change 20% of the remaining games to a stupid kick off time where many of you won’t be able to tune in because you’re working / commuting, and we’re gonna give you absolutely no justification as to why we’re doing it. But thanks for not taking a refund. We love you all, we honestly do. You’re so special to us. BCFC - Thinking Like A Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC - Thinking Like A Fan Makes you think, why didn’t they just refund everyone and then let you pay £10 per game for the games you wanted to watch. Instead we had to make a choice or send an email and made to feel outcasts for taking a refund. Music gigs I’ve had cancelled all refunded me without me needing to make a call or email.

Erithacus Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 This is what happens when the broadcasters have a free reign on the game. Without us fans they can put it on when it suits them /makes them the most money. Is there a conspiracist who thinks that this is the way things are heading in the future?

To be honest, I couldn’t care about the money. It’s a matter of principles. The greed of the game is all-powerful. The fans mean nothing. Oh, they pretend the fans matter. But we all know that’s not what they REALLY think. These sort of things may seem very minor, but it’s the many little things like this that keep adding up and adding up into one big F——K YOU.

I would assume that it's exactly the reasons as above. Teams have nearly two hours earlier to travel home. Without the ability to stay overnight it makes sense. This won't have anything to do with broadcasters as the games are not on TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
