Villa v Bolton moved
« on: January 23, 2012, 08:01:40 PM »
Just for info, Villa v Bolton has been moved to Sunday 18th March, 4pm on Sky.
Should send the viewing figures through the roof, not!. Or more likely, cut the attendance (and the ticket prices)!

Strange one to pick...once the New Year comes round they're not under any obligation to feature teams live again, are they? The money from tv will make up for the crowd-dip I guess. Still, can't imagine the atmosphere being great. Unless we've won the previous six in a row and are battling it out with Newcastle for 5th place obviously.

Probably because Bolton are in the relegation battle and sky feel they have the chance to pick up points at VP.

Good stuff..... From a totally selfish view point.

I am pretty sure that every team has to have so many home live games each season and I could be wrong but I think only the Man Ure and Liverpool games have been on SKY/ESPN so far...............

Fucking shite. From a totally selfish viewpoint. I make that one Saturday 3pm at home between now and the end of the season based on what is likely to be moved.

Sky clearly have no faith that Villa can progress in the FA Cup, since that is quarter final weekend.

What an odd game to pick, between two really uninspiring sides this season. If I were a neutral, I couldn't think of a game I'd rather see less than this. Shame that we'll probably get a poor attendance from this as well

Perhaps they feel that we'll be teetering above relegation along with them lot, and that it could be a relegation battle or something?

Yep, bizarre pick that.

Good news is as far as I can see it none of our other league games after that have been messes with, Blackburn and Wigan away are both 3pm kick offs so I'd expect us to take good followings to both seeing as Wigan is only 20 quid.

Arsenal away is also 3pm so will be going to that one and surprisingly Chelsea at home is 3pm on a Sat as it stands which surprises me as that game is nearly awalys on TV.

Let's show them then.
