North East Ram Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Is there a window or cut off date at which we know which games will be on sky? Its the age old problem of trying to book train tickets but potentially missing cheap prices in case Sky change the kick off. Or buying a ticket and the match is moved! I hear this might be addressed as a collaboration between train companies and Sky / FA in future so that refunds / transfers might be possible but I’ll not hold my breath. Essentially im looking at the away games in September and October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So by next Friday, October should be locked down. Some good train prices available at the mo; just hope they’re there at the end of next week!

I think the discussion is to make train tickets fixture based rather than on a certain date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my experience, instead of getting tickets from Newcastle to Derby, get Newcastle to York and York to Derby (you don't have to leave the train). You should save enough to get yourself a few pints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should save enough to get yourself a few pints It’s always worth checking on a site like ‘split tickets’. Going from Bristol Parkway to Derby, if I get tickets from Bristol to Cheltenham and Cheltenham to Derby I save £12 pounds on a return which adds up to a fair bit over a season. I used the replacement bus between Burton and Derby and back and it was fine. In fact I was quite impressed by how well organised it was in comparison to other places when I’ve had to use replacement buses. Lots of peopl around to give advice and lots of notices explaining where to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North East Ram Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 It seems that sky have now confirmed their live games until the beginning of October, with Bolton v Blackburn being live on 6th October at tea time: http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11688/11446162/efl-live-on-sky-sports-sky-bet-championship-fixtures-confirmed-through-to-october I guess that Derby away at QPR won't be on TV, so should be safe to book trains etc for that particular game?

alexxxxx Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Want to go to the Boro game but got a horrible feeling it'll be moved to Friday night. Trains up there from London are eye watering... Seems like sky have passed the deadline for end of October can anyone confirm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But apparently tomorrow it should be. No guarantees though eh!!! as for a trip to boro- it’s not the greatest away day. I live in the north east and can rarely be bothered going there.

Ambitious Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Out of interest, how much can you possibly save on trains booking well in advanced? I've just checked and the price for me is the same tomorrow as it is for the middle of December, perhaps there is something I'm missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
