Well, I've never, not ever will, contribute to the thing called Sky TV owned but the very obnoxious Aussie. Then you'll be delighted to hear that he no longer owns them.

TammyAB Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 3 hours ago, Davefevs said: Yep…although it’s likely to be 9 or 10 Sat 3pm home games. The only caveat to the table below is that @phantom posted something yesterday about embargo dates, so we might be one home game better off than the table below. If likely only 9/10 home games at Sat 3pm, will all the 13/14 televised games definitely be at Sat 12:30pm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 (edited) I reckon we are one of the more informed fanbases about the potential for disruption. Read a few forums from time to time..Birmingham fans are one of the least, they seem to have conflated the new T.V. deal with a doubling of fhe TV money as a whole and it going in the spending pot, whereas if they were to read the finer details they would see that Solidarity Payments make up a large chunk so it is £2-2.5m, £3m at a push Edited April 28 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy1968 Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 12 hours ago, Never to the dark side said: I think football is still adjusting to the effects of Covid,but its this coming season that does concern me. With five of the Saturday 3pm Championship games being moved for live television coverage I can see less season tickets and match day ticket sales be purchased. I still think that the five live planned games will all be kicking off at 12:30pm on saturday I might find out a little more when I attend the ITV AGM meeting this coming Thursday I hope you're lobbying for getting our highlights pushed up the roster next season. We seemed to be on last again last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's hoping, if Norwich get even a point, you'd need a 4 goal swing in order to save Birmingham and it's unlikely Plymouth capitulate at Home albeit Hull can be high scoring (high conceding too)!

Never to the dark side Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 I noticed we were last on for the Rotherham game,and we normally are at the ass end of the highlights,and only a few seconds long Regarding the kick off times of the five championship games Sky have stated that the full live will be announced up to January 2025 So if all five games are put on at 12:30pm up against BT/TNT prem game There will be no need to adjust fixtures If the five games are spread over fri/sat/sun/mon OTHER fixtures MIGHT have to be re-arranged The reason I stated about the ITV/AGM on thursday is the fact that in my opinion ITV would only have friday and saturday games to show highlights OR they will have a second highlights show on Monday/Tuesday. So I will ask the question about HIGHLIGHTS coverage to see what the situation might become. On the first weekend of the season 2024/25 we will be away due the balloon fiesta taking place I think on that weekend only, it WILL be fri/sat/sun/mon as there are no prem games 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you expect them to say? The timings aren't published yet so it would only be a guesstimate. As previously stated our fanbase appear to be more informed than others on the subject and although we can only speculate on what might happen I suspect the vast majority of our fans who were going to renew, did so knowing and in spite of the potential scheduling issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never to the dark side Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 all clubs are sent a request list before the new fixture lists are compiled. Bristol City always request not to be at home on balloon fiesta WEEKEND 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d expect nothing. As for “our fan based is more informed…” is the sort of thing I’d expect a sag to come out with.

Arsene's Wanger Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 For a bang average season, it's a very good attendance figure. (Sorry to re-rail the thread). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty, I've scanned some other forums and maybe the Two BCFCs are big contrast points but I don't see much debate about the potential impact Forums can only be a snapshot of course, granted.

Ciderhead433 Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 On 28/04/2024 at 11:08, Chairman Mao said: I remember starting to watch city after moving to Bristol in 2006. The ground was outdated. The fans seemed to be mostly 40+. It was quite stale. Fast forward to now and we seem to be in a much healthier position. The only big miss is that apparently the corporate facilities at the ground aren't enough, and we are missing out on revenue because of it. I know otib won't like it but to bring in the cash we need more of the prawn sandwich brigade in the Lansdown. Get to the Premiership, we won't be able to get a seat, because of them.
