Mattredrobin Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 Just wondering when sky announce there games for the season ? Could we potentially be picked for the 1st game ? Brought my son a season ticket for last season, obviously covid put paid to that, so have brought him one for this season,being seperated from his mum i was keeping my fingers crossed i'd have him the weekends city play at home and thankfully the 1st game i have him but just thought it could be put back to the friday, sorry if i've missed this mentioned else where.

ExiledAjax Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 I'll be amazed if they pick our game for the first weekend. They've got Bournemouth v West Brom, Fulham v Boro, or Derby v Huddersfield, all of which would pull far more viewers than City v Blackpool. At this stage of the season they just go with ex-prem or the teams that give them big viewing figures like Derby or Forest. I mean of course it's possible we get picked, but I'd be very surprised.

1960maaan Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 More of a feel of a main Quest game at best I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you should be OK, but after getting caught and costing ££££ I tend to wait until they announce their games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming their contract with the EFL hasn't changed during the summer, SKY will give at least 5 weeks notice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattredrobin Posted July 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 I did think there were better games to choose from, cant wait to get back down there and see players we've not really had the chance to watch at the ground, feeling positive for the new season coyrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have considered it's a Friday game if selected, so flying in Thursday. Will be stuffed if it is a Sunday gameas my flight is 9pm....unless a lunchtime kick off! I've been to over 70 league grounds with City but never QPR's. Funnily enough, most of the unvisited (if that's a word) grounds are in the Premier League....as I didn't go to regular away matches until we reached the bottom of the 4th division. Coach 2 btw!

robin_unreliant Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 I'm wondering if all midweek champ games will be on the red button again this season. It's the only reason I've paid for sky in the past and I'm out of contract for sport now. Just beat me to it haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never to the dark side Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 My thoughts and my thoughts alone,I think no away fans will be allowed to travel to games. I just hope I am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely as well if we do go back to normal this in turn means away fans will be allowed. I can't understand how they could allow man city and Chelsea to fly to Portugal last month or nations flying around sporting the team's art the moment yet can't allow fans to travel from Bristol to Cardiff. Of course this is all too do with £££ but it is an absolute joke how they make rules for one thing and not another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restrictions will be lifted on 19 July, but agree be interesting to see if reimposed later in the year (time will tell). If there are no restrictions then I can’t see how away fans will not be allowed to travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every midweek game was on the red button, with a couple per week on the main channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi mate, I’m not sure I can answer your questions about Sky games on TV, but I just wanted to say that, given your domestic situation, I hope you and your lad have loads of brill days out following our club ... best wishes to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a weekend game was re-arranged for a midweek fixture because of a postponement etc, that will not become RB. I think there is also an agreement for maximum number of RB games per team, 8 rings a bell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeRed Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Sky are listing the midweek games as being available on the red button, Info on their website. But as the Reading away game is on the Wednesday - 48 hours before the Swansea TV game on the Friday - I am assuming the Wednesday game will be rescheduled and therefore will not be on the red button for the rearranged fixture even though it's certain to be another midweek date Is that correct? Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
