I reckon a lot of our games will be on sky this season, basically Villa = goals, both for and against, plus we were becoming increasingly good to watch going forward.

I can see the opening game at Arsenal being moved to Sunday or Monday or the early Saturday game. We could be top of the league by 230pm😉

Think Arsenal and Liverpool games are certs to be moved tbh.

It's funny with Arsenal, we seem to play them more often than not at 3pm down at the Emirates but the VP game is always moved.

Please no Monday night games....really can't stand them (Sunderland expected).

I've got a feeling for 5.15pm on Saturday.  Hope so.  Took a gamble and brought a very cheap all day return from Manchester.

The bt contract gives them 10 midweek games and 28 Saturday games with a kick off time of 12-45 , unlike espn who used to show games at 5-15pm.

Sky usually show a football league game on Saturday evenings and  will probably use the 2 slots for games on a Sunday and maybe Monday nights  so hopefully we might not have any Saturday late kick offs.

Lets face it when we are at home to Chelsea, Man U, Liverpool, Spurs, Arsenal and Man City we get moved. I wish we had more away games shifted, fed up of looking forward to a Saturday 3 pm game v Fulham as a highlight!

I'm like many on here if we do get moved, the 12.45 ko on a Saturday is the more preferable one.

I think a lot of people work Saturday till about lunchtime either as their contracted hours or overtime. Plus the early kick-offs smell funny due to people that have been out on Friday nights doing putrid beer farts all game.

Boo to early kick-offs.

This happened the first year ESPN took the games and there was a delay, probably same with Setanta aswell.

Bit too much to expect the supporters who'll actually go to these games some more time to prepare of course.
Title: Re: Any news on (Villa) games being moved for Sky?
Post by: bertlambshank on July 10, 2013, 05:24:51 PM
From digital spy its a long read.
The Barclays Premier League will continue discussions with all the relevant authorities ahead of the announcement of the first wave of live television fixtures for the 2013-14 season.
Last season, some 129 out of the 138 Premier League games broadcast live in the UK were scheduled with at least six weeks' notice for supporters.
Alterations to kick-off times and dates can, though, also be made for a host of other reasons and not just shifted for television demands - including the progress of teams in European and domestic cup competitions as well as on police advice.
The new Premier League season will begin on Saturday, August 17, and there will be a number of fixtures that may be attractive to broadcasters in the opening round and may therefore move out of the traditional 3pm slot.
David Moyes takes charge of his first league game as Manchester United manager at Swansea, and Jose Mourinho's first competitive game since returning to Chelsea - at home to Hull - are two obvious candidates of matches which could be selected for one of the several TV slots over the weekend, as is Manuel Pellegrini's bow as Manchester City boss against Newcastle at the Etihad Stadium.
It is understood if all negotiations are completed, then an announcement on fixtures changes could be made tomorrow (Thurs).
The new £3.018billion deal for domestic TV rights for the next three years represents a 70 per cent increase on the previous contract which expired at the end of last season.
Sky, who have televised Premier League games since the birth of the competition in 1992, will show some 116 matches over the course of the forthcoming campaign, which will now also include the 5:30pm slot on a Saturday, as well as their usual Sunday afternoon and Monday night games.
BT will also be significant players this season, having paid £738million over three years for the games which under monopoly regulations cannot be sold to Sky. The company will have 18 "first picks" of matches, and will show games at 12:45pm on Saturdays and also Bank Holidays via their own platforms, which include a dedicated sports channel available on satellite.
There will also be interest in which games are selected for live broadcast on the weekend of August 31 and September 1.
Ideally, England manager Roy Hodgson would want all of his squad to be able to report on September 1 ahead of the crunch Group H World Cup qualifying double-header, at home to Moldova on September 6 and away to Ukraine on September 10.
However, while Manchester United's trip to Liverpool could well be moved forwards to a Saturday lunchtime slot on August 31, there is little flexibility with the scheduling of the north London derby.
Both Arsenal and Tottenham, who are likely to boast a healthy English contingent between them, will have a vital second leg of their respective European play-off ties that week, with Spurs' game set for Thursday, August 29, meaning the game at the Emirates Stadium would have to be moved to September 1.
A spokesman for the Football Supporters' Federation criticised what it sees as the delay between the announcement of the new season's fixtures and the confirmation of which games would be rescheduled for TV.
"The fixtures have been out for weeks now, so fans will be frustrated that it's taken TV companies so long to get their act together," said a FSF spokesman.
"Every passing day can see train fares rising, so the sooner fans know when games are going ahead the better.
"Let's not forget that, as the FSF's Twenty's Plenty Campaign points out, away fans are absolutely vital to the TV 'product.
"The spectacle isn't the same without supporters packing the stands, yet TV shows the match-going fans very little respect and often moves games to almost impossible times for away fans."

That's genuinely my favourite kick-off time. Doesn't feel as unnatural to get pissed before hand, and often sees a cracking atmosphere under the floodlights. Sunday lunchtimes and 'MNF' are the absolute worst.

For the first couple of months

It looks like Sky are going to try to "Block" BTSport by picking Man Utd as often as possible early on (as if they weren't going to do that anyway).

My guess is that we'll be BTSport's first game, away at Arse with a Sat lunchtime KO

Thanks, Dave (I've only just seen the request).

Apologies for the Neil Moxley article posted separately, so hard to keep up with all the threads/posts plus watching the cricket and listening to TMS!

It must be nearly bedtime!  ;)

Nice to see Liverpool v Man U on - makes a refreshing change.

My predictiion of Lawro's prediction for the game is 1-1.

'.....Liverpool won't want to lose this and fall 10 points behind Man Utd as that would effectively end their chances of the title....

I'd have thought we'd be a bit more popular than that.  There'll certainly be goals in our matches and under lambert we're generally good to watch.  The general public's loss is our gain.

As one of the ones evicted from our plum seats after 10 years to make way for those oh-so wonderful 3D cameras (Witton Lane Upper 2nd row from front halfway line), I for one am so glad Sky are going to make so much use of them. Bastards.

I'm more than grateful we've only had two home games messed around for TV. We normally get stitched up loads more than that.

I see Setanta Ireland are showing our game v Arsenal on the first day of the season.
Are more games going to be moved for Setanta because I want to book my trip over in September.

Games which are only televised outside the UK don't have to be moved.

The only TV companies with UK live rights are Sky and BT who have announced their fixtures (listed above).

Pretty happy with that. Plenty of home games at 3pm.

I think for anyone who's going to Norwich away you might aswell leave now if you want to make kick off!

Yes, I agree, I so much prefer the traditional Saturday 3pm kick off. Nice little run for me in December of local games I can get to with Southampton away midweek and then Fulham away on the Saturday

Its a bubbled fixture anyway.

The police will have to deal with the usual idiots after the game, but home fans never get near away fans.

Its an easy enough run to Norwich and it should be getting a bit easier with the duel carriageway they're building at Dereham.

No, is he good value?

I always liked that road, it reminded me of driving abroad. It will be a lot easier with it being four laned from now on.

Its not really necessary anymore, given that nobody requires access to Dixons.
