Title: TV Games in April
Post by: AV82EC on March 03, 2014, 11:26:23 AM
Just in case you missed it, we're not on TV at all in April so all fixtures at 3.00pm Saturday after the nightmare of March.

Don't they give less notice for moving April/May games for TV, or am I imagining that?

I would imagine with the May games they do, deciding which one to televise on the last day.

They've announced which April games are being televised. Not sure about May but one of the two May games can't be moved anyway, regardless of whether it's picked for telly.

Clearly the TV people have decided that we won't be involved in relegation or  Euro places. They are of course only correct on one of those assumptions!

Phew...... I ordered my Palace ticket this morning and when I saw this thread I was a bit worried that Sky/BT would want that potentially spectacular game.


Not being on TV in April could mean that Sky/BT see Villa as now being comfortable mid-table mediocrity; which is a good thing for now.

Post by: Meanwood Villa on March 03, 2014, 01:15:30 PM
We were all stunned they wanted to televise us so much in March. It would appear it was to get our quota out of the way so we didn't intefere with their "most exciting title race/relegation scrap/race for 7th for years" in April/May when the bullshit really gets cranked up. It's nice to be irrelevant to some people sometimes.

More likely we aren't playing any of the sky six - and 16 of their 17 games feature the so called sky six.

Wankfest: the best descriptive football-related word of the decade. 

And the above was an adjective wankfest.

The Sky 4 ceased to be when Liverpool tumbled out of it. This coincided with Citeh winning the lottery meaning one of their favourites had to miss out each season.

If you then throw in the love affair with Spuds, particularly when the illiterate crook was in charge there, and that is how it has become a favoured 6.

Ah, yes. Remember the form rate given at the end of the match report? "Dismal" used to amuse me.
