So the fans get messed around again for Television
 No problem at all with the late Saturday Kick off , I actually prefer them but Friday evening is not easy for everyone. I feel for those living outside of the area with travel planning and commitments. Especially with the absolute shambles at Witton and Aston station they may have to endure.... Villa COULD and SHOULD be putting a speedy shuttle service on , this could be from Lichfield Road area into City Centre.

Last season on two occasions the Bus did not turn up and I seen the elderly sat in the freezing cold for over one hour as they waited to get away from Villa Park.

We know what we're in for when we buy a ST. No Sat 3pm at home is shit, the Soton game coincides with a gig I want to go to but I can go to the Wham game whereas had it been on the Saturday I'd have been at work.

The gig wasn’t Half Man Half Biscuit by any chance was it?  They are in brum this night and I was tempted but obviously not now.

Soton is a gig clash for me as well. Clean forgot about the potential for Friday games when I started buying tickets for in-season comedy/music

Nottingham Forest are playing on the same Friday night as our game v Southampton, bit odd to have two prem games on a Friday evening.

Maybe Fab Friday Football is the new Sky Super Sunday. And it's LIVE!

Their game is moved to avoid a clash with cricket at Trent Bridge, not for telly.

So why not show that on TV and leave Villa v Soton where it was ?

On Sept 3rd i have tickets, along with 10 others, for the grandstand at Wolverhampton races with tickets to see Madness afterwards

The 3pm KO meant i would miss all but later races but i could live with that - moving to 5pm just fucking kills it

Absolute cnuts

Southampton-Villa on a Friday night...What the actual fcuk...it was horrid enough last time, ending in Deano's dismissal, how do the BSkyB bods think we'll not stink-out the place again?
