Super Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 Can't see us taking many now to Sheffield mind!
Major Isewater Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 Great , I was going to go to that one on the Saturday but Friday night I have to wash my hair . Sky you bastards .

Admin Phantom Posted October 20, 2017 Admin Posted October 20, 2017 Shame as I am sure we would have taken a decent following on the Saturday
Selred Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 I fly to Toulouse the next day, so I'm glad it's been re-arranged and on sky!
reddogkev Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 Bloody brilliant news - for a tight-fisted fella like myself who can't justify the expense of away games, this has made my day!
chipdawg Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 I can't decide if this is good or not. It's my local game and I'd rearranged my life to fit around it being on the 9th. But now it's a nighttime kick off I can have a few more beers before and after than I might otherwise have had One thing I know; the wife is going to be pretty mad when our weekend plans change yet again...

Bristol Rob Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 I'm obviously missing something here. What other games do we have on Sky?

Robin 101 Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 Long away trips should never moved to Friday night's and I im fuming I can no longer make this game. Suppose im not a proper fan for being annoyed at sky for ignoring fans again though

JBFC II Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 Cheltenham are at home to crewe on the Saturday, so a good chance to see our loanees in action
Vincent Vega Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 Bought train tickets for this, was all part of a mates birthday celebrations. Sorry but I hate sky.

The_Don Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 Was looking forward to this one but won't be booking time off to sit on the gridlocked motorways for hours. Would never buy train tickets this far in advance for any away fixture, Sky have their announcement dates for live games throughout the season and its been well documented.

Lrrr Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 M5 and M1/M6 on a Friday? I mean I wouldn't have been going anyway so being on sky is a bonus for me but that's a horrendous trip on a Friday.

Think you've found yourself a game, how many beers can you drink in 45 minutes
downendcity Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 That's one game where we won't need to be looking over our shoulder for them.

City Cat Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 This Sky business has to affect away attendances all over the country. I am always nervous about committing in advance and like others can not relax until we reach the deadline for announcing TV games. Armchair spectators rule (alas)
You Do The Dziekanowski Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 Long distance away games should be void from Sky. Ruins atmosphere imo. If Reading, Brum, Villa, Wolves we’re moved to accommodate Sky then you’d still get a good away following. Will never happen as it will mean less people watching on the box for them

While its extremely unlikely that Truro will ever be on Sky, Their closest "away" match this season is Weston. 300 mile round trip. Closest away game. Still they sent 730 people to chelmsford this season, 660 mile round trip. Edit: Oh and they lost 2-0
Redsi2 Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 This is the night of my works Xmas party. What am I going to do now?

Super Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 I don't get why some are angry at SKY? Clubs are happy to take the cash.

CrazyInWeston Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 Tbh I'm sort of glad it's now on sky, means I get to stream the game. I can see how Friday nights are an issue when I'd suspect most of you get Sundays off (or the added benefit that Sundays start at 10am) I work Sundays from 5am (have to be up by 3:40am though) so it doesnt bother me, but like I said, can see the issues here, Friday traffic, normal Saturday job starting times. Perhaps just not drink?? Ya bunch of alcoholics you all are!!
