They have only announced a few Scottish games so far. Maybe Ruperts a bit pre-occupied right now ?

Matt Kendrick retweeted something about it being this week, probably sometime today.

I have already booked my train for Fulham on the basis of a 3pm Saturday kick off. Unless them or us sign Messi in the mean time I think I'm safe.

I just rang the ticket office and asked this.
Apparently the chosen games should have been announced on Monday - not sure why the hold up. I can't see us being one of the games but don't want to book my train until they are announced really

Really am pissed off that I am on holiday that day (may well be in Newquay) and will miss it. Fulham's such a great day out.

See we are live on Sky on 27th July in this Asia Cup thingy agains Blackburn - 10.30am

Ages since I've seen us play them...

Which should mean even less chance of that tasty opening home game with Blackburn being televised.

Except Murdoch is in the country; perhaps as a desperate sop to Cameron/Prince William etc, ALL Villa's matches will now be televised and played on a Monday night - when SamCam has her pilates and Wills can watch in the mess with his fellow pilots.

Coincidentally, Monday at 11am is probably going to be one of the times games will be played.

Post by: Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air on July 11, 2011, 09:30:24 AM

I dont care. Every game will be on the internet anyway, probably via some website based in South Sudan. It may be a 15 second delay with a demented spanish commentator, it may freeze or break up on occasion but I have really started to enjoy watching away games like that. It might not be HD but it is free.....up yours Rupert !

To be fair ALITA, I am interested in knowing when games will be played so I can make travel arrangements more than anything else.

I have been stung by them moving games plenty of times in the past.

ESPN are using a 2 seasons old photo of Lampard tackling Torres in a Liverpool shirt and before his haircut, which does not indicate they have their finger on the pulse. http://tv.espn.co.uk/gb/espl/sports-on-espn/football/barclays-premier-league

The Swansea one is a nightmare.  Can't get there in time for kick-off by train.  Means an over nighter.

Funny that we're away for every single televised game! and not even featured on ESPN!

Either sky realise they will be filming in an empty stadium or the Villa have asked them not to film at home because even more supporters will stay away!!

Always a good atmosphere on the home games-  not this season.
