Birmingham match moved to Friday night (1 Viewer)

Evo1883 · Oct 19, 2023

I can't see this going down too well , so many games moved already , feels like Saturday games are rarer than ever .. could effect ST sales next season

Tomh111 · Oct 19, 2023

Sky can fuck off.

I deliberately scheduled a trip to see some family in France and paid considerably more to fly back Friday evening rather than Saturday so I would be able to watch.

Just so they can wank off Rooney.

The new TV deal next season will make this normal in truth - just rubbish really

It's sad isn't it , everybody looks forward to Saturdays.. I get that if we were promoted they would have been rarer anyway , but football isn't as enjoyable midweek IMHO

I like a Friday night game, but we now have one Saturday home 3pm kick off left this year. Ridiculous

Friday nights are a close second to Saturday afternoon. The rest of the days can fuck off

Two lads on lates where I work have said they're sacking it off next year and will just pay per game. I don't blame them.

We now have one weekend home game between now and January 13th

And the January 13th game is against Leicester, so will almost certainly be moved and/or an early kickoff.

It's annoying having Saturday home games becoming rarer, but I wouldn't mind so much if they (the football league/sky) announced these at the start of the season so supporters can plan things in advance

I’d be amazed if the Leicester one isn’t moved as well.

The new TV will lead to more people doing the same thing, it’s a farce.

Fuck off! That’s 3 already right?

And that's Leicester isn't it?
Amazed if that's not moved.

Edit - sorry SBT, just seen you'd already mentioned this

An attractive game on a Friday night and this might tempt me even though likely 37 gbp.
However definitely confirms right decision not to even consider a season ticket being Manchester based.
Too many night games. This will put off a lot of new season ticket holders next season.
Norwich was really good recently but no idea when next Saturday game at less than 37 gbp will be. Last two seasons at home and away have been great football and atmosphere wise. Not sure this season will be quite the same. I hope it is but high pricing and lack of Saturday games and lack of "Viktor and Gus" songs might limit the same brilliant experience.

If the majority of games are going to be midweek I can't see myself getting a season ticket next year

At this rate I might end 2023 having done as many away games as home games this season. The season ticket has been a pretty bad investment by those standards, but then again I need the ST to buy the away tickets….

Seems to have pulled a few of your strings…

Good old Sky, ruining football since 1992

clint van damme · Oct 19, 2023

Typical Cov, just when somethings going well along comes something else to put a spanner in the works.

Tommo1993 · Oct 19, 2023

Fucking joke this is. Proper losing my patience with it now and it’ll only be getting worse.

clint van damme · Oct 19, 2023

ST sales have been very good across the Championship this year, I'd imagine this is going to have a significant affect on them next season.

I'm not sure how much the deals for but I hope it's worth it.

mmttww · Oct 19, 2023

FFS. Every game I've had marked as one to take the kids to so far has been moved. B*ll*cks.

Guaranteed in my book, local derby Sunday 12.00 is my guess.

junglej13 · Oct 19, 2023

This has likely been mentioned on another thread but the family zone in particular looks noticeable less populated for night matches. Friday night not be as bad as other week nights but still likely to lose a few who it's past their bed time!

Macca1987 · Oct 19, 2023

Same as those above, well fucked off, being dragged along to xmas lights on the Friday with kids and grandkids, would be more than my lifes worth lol

Gynnsthetonic · Oct 19, 2023

It's Wayne Rooneys Birmingham though innit!

Nick · Oct 19, 2023

It's going to confuse them not knowing whether it's his or Tom Brady's

Fuckin bullshit I work nights so already missed a few games sky just ruining football for the working man Saturday football should be the norm not every other day pissed off ain’t the word

David O'Day · Oct 19, 2023

The Arena has one of it's Xmas dos where a thousand or some people go into the arena hall on that night

Guarantee Lesta gets moved as well with them pissing the league

Johnnythespider · Oct 19, 2023

This will undoubtedly affect season ticket sales next season, who would buy one when you don't know when a game will be played, I understand the Premier League will televise all games not played at 3 pm on a Saturday from 24/25, football is prioritizing television over fans attending the match, it's a sad day
