A combination of working nights and living in Sheffield makes these fixture changes very annoying.

Oh sod off, what a pisstake. Will be a pain in the arse for me now.

 

[Matt smith]

ffs!

this means between now and the rest of the year we have just 3 Saturday home games!!

Two are in the Christmas holidays to be fair, but point taken

 

[Brylowes]

A home game for us is a 340 mile round trip, you expect a sprinkling of midweek games over the season but this is ridiculous, certainly wouldn’t have invested in season tickets had we known this in advance.
We seem to have more Saturday games moved now than we did when we were playing 2nd fiddle to the Rugger team.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Glad i got the kids a season ticket for them to be able to see 5 games from August to December

I know i love a moan but im genuinely annoyed about this

 

[Blind-Faith]

9 out of 23 home games now not being played on a Saturday. Whole idea is to have something to do on a Saturday afternoon with my mates. I accept 2/3 game might be on a Tuesday or Wednesday night , but this is taking the piss

 

[ccfc_Tom]

So do sky just decide on a game they want moved to a monday night and thats the end of it? No discussions with clubs prior etc?

And in all liklihood some of those 9 will be moved.

Big bags of cash can be quite persuasive, I find.

 

[Ashdown]

No consideration for fans at all these days, it’s take it or leave it and they know we are all addicted so find it hard to walk away.

 

[Grendel]

Next season will be far worse

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Join the journey. Just not on Saturday's m8.

They should have done an off-peak season ticket. Would have cost more than the on-peak!

Yup, 5 live Championship games each week. Each team live approx 23 games (every midweek game live, all opening day/final day). And no more iFollow.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Tbf a local derby being moved to a Monday night is not as bad as say a midday kick off for Middlesbrough at home

Harder on a school night ffs


Got to do my homework...


But yeah annoying now I have a season ticket. Didn't care when just bought game by game.

Sky need to get more away games for us on instead.

Can your cousin use the ticket instead?

 

[covcity4life]

PLAUSABLE

 

[Tile Hill Phil]

Basically no then according to the club. Forked out £111 for tickets yesterday as this is a game myself and the family can actually make, now with the fixture change I've just wasted that money. So fucking pissed off.

The club should refund you as you bought them for a Saturday fixture. That is disgraceful

 

[ccfc1234]

Going away for 5 days on holiday and book flights on the Sunday so we could go to the game. Would have gone the day before if we had known! It is what it is but it is annoying!

 

[ccfc1234]

Why does it seem to be home games what are changed for Sky and not the away ones!!

Sky have a discounted corporate box from Doug

Are you going to Hull ?

 

[Covcraig@bury]

No Chris , I’m looking after my friends farm in Northumberland from this Thursday whilst they go away for a hard earned rest . So it was never on the agenda. Pissed off with that also

Guess it depends on your personal circumstances! I go with a family and it's the worst for them, they can go 12.00 or 17.30 on a Saturday and at a push on a Friday at 1945 as its not a school night but Monday night is out the question.

I love Northumberland though. Daughter lives in Newcastle so we've stayed on that Northumberland coastline a few times.

Blues and Leicester

 

[Covkid1968#]

Going to go against the grain here… I don’t mind the home games moving. I can get stuff done at home on the Saturday

 

[itsabuzzard]

PLAUSABLE

You're not really a teacher, are you?

I'm no fan of Monday night football but isn't this half term so no school Tuesday?

So just in the U.K. then?

 

[Frank Sidebottom]

Is there any way this can be pinned somewhere... very handy for people buy advanced travel/hotels etc.

 

[Seaside-Skyblue]

It certainly will get much worse next season, approx 60% of all championship games will be on Sky. I think we’ll be seeing Saturday and Sunday evening live games (and both lunchtimes). I can’t see how they will fit them in otherwise, unless they use the red button (in which case presentation quality will deteriorate)

Wonder if this is the start of the end of large crowds? I really hope not but could this potentially mean more people will just decide to stay at home and watch instead of turning up? Then again I guess a lot of Prem teams are on most weeks yet they still get the crowds but that's higher quality football...I just worry about the atmosphere dwindling which is such a big part of going.
