Games Moved for TV

[DeKuip]

The last bit is a joy to read, over and over again.

Monday 28 April
20:00 Man City v Aston Villa (Sky Sports)****
****Match is subject to movement dependent on either club's participation in the FA Cup semi-finals or VILLA’s (not fucking City’s) participation in UEFA Champions League semi-finals.

I don’t get why there is a possibility of moving the Forest game to Sunday.

I think because Liverpool is the current TV game on the Sunday. If Liverpool get through in the Champions League and play on the Tuesday, we would swap fixtures with them and play on Sunday instead, so the TV companies still get to keep the same number of live games. (Note that only one of Liverpool or Villa could play in the Champions League as we are scheduled to meet in the previous round).

Not sure what you are asking there as it has been confirmed as Saturday 530pm.

something on the website saying it might move to 14:00pm on Sunday 06/04/2025 depending on clubs participation in Champions League

Yes I dont get why

I might be wrong! But that's all that I can think of that makes sense.

Anybody else  begnning to wonder whether rearranged games - across the league, for all fixtures should come with discounted tickets to make up for the shitshow inconvenience of having to rearrange domestic, work and travel arrangements to satisfy the Far East audience?

The quarter final (where we would play Liverpool) is the 8th April, so it's actually only in the circumstance that we get knocked out and Liverpool go through AND their game against Bruges is scheduled for the Tuesday that our game would swap with theirs.

It would get my vote, but we don’t get to vote except with our feet.

I’m sure the Far East audience are delighted to be getting their feed at 3.30-4.30am.

It's ridiculous the number of Saturday League matches we have kicked off and will be kicking off at 5.30pm, from 14 Dec against Forest to 19 Apr against Newcastle. We are talking 12 Saturdays in all and 7 of those have/will be 5.30 kos.

I think Mrs. Hookeysmith had a word with them.

I know it will never happen, but it would be a huge gesture if, for a couple of weekend fans across the country boycotted all televised league games.

Except for a few behind the goals who displayed anti-Sky banners.

Does anyone know if the Spurs game on Sunday 18th is set in stone as a 3pm kick off ?( assuming we’re not in the Fa Cup final obvs )  Are all the games  that weekend at that time, like the final week? It seems strange it’s been set as a Sunday from when the fixtures came out, if not ?
