WystonRam Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Not sure if that has been posted elsewhere or not, this is this seasons notice period for the selection of league games to be shown live on TV. “The minimum five week commitment remains in place for the majority of the season but the rolling basis period commences for matches taking place from 7 March onwards is to be shortened to four weeks’ public notice.” https://www.efl.com/news/2019/june/201920-sky-bet-efl-fixtures-revealed/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Tbf much as we moan we matches are moved that’s a reasonable time period to organise round... just gets me when people who travel in from abroad get ducked over as it’s much harder for them to organise/ reorganise.

RadioactiveWaste Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Am I right in thinking sky still have the right to switch things much nearer the time, but have backed off to an agreement of 5/4 weeks to keep everybody happy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Reducing the 5 week notice to 4 for the business end of the season is another pathetic capitulation from the EFL to SKY. Just say no ffs, its not like SKY will pull the contract over that one detail. Doesn't sound much but if people want to plan an away day, tickets, trains, overnight stops etc, even a home match meet up, it can ruin the occasion.

Great post mate, when going away trains, and planning the day are decided long before 5 weeks, so we get the best train prices and everyone going can make the arrangements with friends and family on what is going on, already planning Huddersfield away on Monday booking time off and getting to the game etc. But sky gives two ducks about the real fans now a days.

Been caught out once. Unfortunately I’m usually booking holidays 6-9 months out so it can be a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozza Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 There was this one poster who even started his own thread three months before a match, so everyone could arrange time off, travel, cancellation of family occasions etc. Still went pear-shaped.

DarkFruitsRam7 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 In my opinion, the first priority should always be the fans who attend the games. This is NOT an attack on those who don’t attend, as they are still fans, but neutral TV viewers should never be prioritised over loyal attendees. It makes me sick when I hear talk of a European Super League and not one mention is given to the fans who spend their time and money watching their team every single week. You’re talking about wiping out people’s escape from the rigours of life. How are they expected to travel abroad every other week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePrisoner Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Derby County’s first two Sky Bet Championship fixtures for the month of September have been picked for live coverage by Sky Sports. Phillip Cocu’s side will now entertain Cardiff City at Pride Park Stadium on Friday 13th September 2019 (7:45pm kick-off) following the first international break of the campaign. Derby then will head to Elland Road to take on Leeds United the following weekend, on Saturday 21st September as planned, but with a new kick-off time of 12:30pm.

1of4 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Games that are rearranged to a Friday or Monday night a just so wrong. There should be a limit to how many games each club can be made to move, to a Monday and Friday night, by the TV companies.tickets I know there are season ticket holders who can't get to week day games but accept they will miss a few mid-week games when buying their tickets at the beginning of the season. Every game that is moved for tv, means they not only miss out on seeing the game but also lose out financially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me a plastic fan, but when I can watch my team as much as I can on Sky TV, supplemented with attending games that arn't on TV, season tickets are terrible value for money. God bless St Barbara.
