WBA (h) now on Monday 30th Oct (4 Viewers)

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

Will check as its different in different areas. I am just a bit annoyed as I spent extra to fly out on Sunday not Saturday to be at a game that will take place on a Monday! It is what it is and I hope it will suit others who might not have been able to go.

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.

Sorry to hear that If a concert / event has to change dates then it usually offers refunds, why is this any different?

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

That is useful, so thank you for posting it, although the note at the bottom saying that the dates are illustrative and subject to change is a bit worrying. Hopefully they are just covering their backs and they won't change much, if at all, in practice.

Gutted mate. See if you can get them sold to someone. Hopefully you can make some of your money back.

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

Their farm is in Belford not far from sea houses .

I'd booked a flight over for the Saturday game.

Suppose I'll have to go shopping - or something.

I think crowds are likely to suffer as a result of this, especially if we're not top 6 by christmas. It's really not on having to pay higher transport costs because youre forced to leave booking late. This will really bite the championship in the arse. I've lost £300 quid already on just two games. They need to look at removing the saturday 3pm TV watershed, its no longer fit for purpose.

Q&A: EFL & Sky Sports broadcast rights agreement

EFL Clubs have overwhelmingly approved a recommendation put forward by the EFL Board and Commercial Committee to enter into a new five-year broadcasting deal with Sky Sports worth £935m.

That refers to domestic coverage only and doesn't state whether i follow will still be available overseas.

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

Saturday is football day

Saturday is football day

Yep of course… when I lived in Cov Saturday was get on the beer and football day! But I usually have to drive now so it’s a quick pint only now and I can do that in the evening. But you’re right.. you can’t beat a 3pm KO. It’s just doesn’t impact me as much as others. I’ll go and paint my boat or some other useless activity on the Saturday now.

I’ll probably empty the ashtrays in my Learjet.

Removing the 3pm TV watershed won't make any difference to games being moved.... it'll just allow Sky or whoever to show even more games live. They'll still want a Friday night game, Saturday game at 12, 5:30 and 8. Sunday games at 12, 2, 4 and probably another 6 or 8pm slot coming soon and Monday night. In fact removing the 3pm watershed will probably result in 2pm and 4pm Saturday KOs.

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!

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

Working nights and living in Sheffield you must have thought things couldn’t get any worse

I have an ashtray with no Learjet around it

Have they lowered the prices yet ?
