Assuming that's 50/50 for home and away then it's seems likely we will have 11 or 12 home games affected. So that's around 50% I may be totally wrong so best check the EFL TV deal details on their website 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What % of games will be on a Saturday at 3pm (in fairness, I don’t include games moved by the police in that ask) One positive is that we will know all TV matches (and I presume kick off times) to early Jan ‘before the start of the season’. It would be helpful if they could set this in stone as soon as the fixtures are announced in June. “Increased notice for fans With the substantial increase in the number of live matches, Sky Sports and the EFL will introduce a new commitment for clubs and fans which will provide longer notice periods on TV selections. The defined notice periods will enable clubs and fans to plan further in advance and this will include the placement of all live matches selected for broadcast for the period to FA Cup third round before the start of the season. Greater parity in the number of times that clubs are selected for TV coverage is also guaranteed.” 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the working assumption though, but as you say, we won’t know the home or away split until they are announced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attendances fell across the board mix of hooliganism going too far putting some off and perhaps increased unemployment in certain regions, plus dropping 3 divisions in 3 years didn't help. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we all commit to a season ticket in march April so what happens after that soon as fixtures are released which is mid summer I recall they will be moved all over the place which then means we can't make games so just makes having a season ticket an absolute mockery.

Bristol Sport and our hierarchy may be full of soundbites but as you hint at the club will be very and uncomfortably aware of how the punters are feeling after today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Balls Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 How will the televised matches affect midweek games? Presumably shift them by a day and make it an 8pm kick off rather than 7.45. It’s messing with the Saturday afternoon routine that’s a real pain. And anyway 23 televised games is an average. So that’s Sheffield United, Burnley and Luton on 35+ televised games and whoever of Ipswich or Southampton fails to get promoted, while given even our own fans aren’t that keen on watching us right now, while Manning is here we will likely only be televised 10 times at most next season!

I’ve not seen anything like today for a long time. At one point I was wondering if there was a collective boycott in protest or something.

Today we got to ten minutes before and empty, five minutes before and still empty and then the players come out and it's still empty and you know that's the crowd for today.

Dredd Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Communicated to my group today that I'm unlikely to renew next season for the first time in 20 years. It just feels like a chore and an obligation, like going to work. I'm not enjoying it and it puts me in a bad mood if we play like we have been and lose. I don't mind us being beaten by better sides if we put up a fight but there's nothing. It's not front foot, high press, attacking football. It's not even the quick breaking, counter attacking football we did have. I pay for entertainment. It's not entertaining. Sticking with the work analogy, I'd love an exit interview 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUTOR Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 If the deal is going to shaft us onto Sunday lunchtimes or afternoons up to 50% of the time then I will re consider. The benefit of being perennial underachievers is that you get to watch football mostly at its traditional time. I will seriously consider non league as an alternative if this is the case. Bad for fans, for business in the area, for pretty much everybody except the broadcasters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 New TV deal meaning less 3pm Saturday games is the big thing for me. I've watched all sorts of crap over 50 odd years and what the team is doing rarely impacts on if I go or not. I don't like night games. I don't like early kickoffs , though they are better. I don't like Sunday games . I am seriously thinking about if it's worth it. A big thing is not being able to get away tickets, but to be honest paying best part of £600 quid and not being able to plan your weekends is shit IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 5 hours ago, blockbrowt1 said: Was there before the Lansdowns and will be there when they've gone. God willing of course I've seen worse teams than this and worse financial times but the reasons were that nobody with real cash was there at the time. If any real City supporter had the £ billions that he has,they wouldn't worry about the spending £10 million per year in a way that he seems to. As for renewing ST. I'm 81 in July, and have physically supported City since 1950. But the shambles of the last five months of backwards and sideways tactics sending most of us to sleep, tells me it's time to call it a day and that I should find other ways of spending my time while I'm still well and active. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all very well the club wanting to get your money in the bank as early as they can, but with the uncertainty around the TV schedule, the only fair option is delay imposing the seat reservation deadline until we know what we’re committing to. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aa_bcfc Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 I’m fed up with watching what Manning is serving up but will definitely renew. Why? Because it’s my club and it’s what I do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
