Another game I probably won't be at now. 1 of our first 7 home games at 3pm on a Sat is a piss take. One of the 2 reasons I didn't renew this season is because of this shite, i'm just sick of it. Fuck off Sky.

Was the other reason because we're shit? If so, I didn't renew for the same reasons.

However, as a result, I'm now looking at the games moved for TV thinking it's great. I can watch us without paying for it (go to a mates house or pub).

Wow, if the United game isn't changed, it will be the first 3pm Saturday home game for years against them.

Might actually beat them now given it's an unusual kick off time for that fixture.

Mind you I thought the same for the Arsenal game which was our first 3pm against them at home in many a year.

Let's not have too much xmas turkey that week.

Edit: At least the xmas games haven't been messed around this year. Ridiculous the amount of times we've kicked off at half 5 on boxing day in recent seasons.

But why the hell have we got to go all the way down there on Boxing Day? Why couldn't we have Leicester Stoke or Albion?

Yesterday summed up the Sky attitude to us. Delay in the Chav/Arse game so make the West Ham/QPR game wait to KO until Sky are ready. If that isn't too much power over the game I don't know what is.

I don't see what the problem is with delaying a kick off in these circumstances

Are you serious?

Yes, I have absolutely no problem with the next game being delayed by a few minutes until the previous game has finished and TV hands over to the new game. It seems a perfectly sensible thing to do.

My only criticism is that they should have left a bigger time gap between the games in the first place.

And if it is we should be paid as extras.

Swansea have to play somebody on Boxing Day, and the closest clubs to them are those in the Midlands.

They could fuck off to the League of Wales and then they could have a local derby against Llanelli or something.
