They realise football is nothing without fans which is why they are pumping fake crowd noise in to games, yet move a game to 5pm, a time where many will be unable to watch now restrictions are easing and people are back at work. 2020 has been a rough year for many, Football is a release, a way out from what’s going on in the world and this is what you do? Hang. Your. Heads. In. Shame. Basically why I took option one - if your at work what good is It if you are not able to watch it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One game finishes I switch to the next. Half time, I watch a different game for 15 minutes. I'm sure a large number of people have been doing the same. A boost in the number of viewers could mean a much better TV deal in future, and more games on TV for the 'bigger' clubs (more money in the clubs pocket). A big win for Sky, a big win for football fans in general, a win for clubs, but a loss for a small-ish percentage of fans of the clubs playing the early kickoffs. Sure, the early kickoff could have been 5:30 instead, but there's probably a reason for it. Imagine what MIllwall and Boro fans think of their 3pm kickoff next Wednesday! To be fair on Millwall v Boro - that one was at the request of Middlesborough. There are no hotel stays anymore with clubs commuting there and back on the same day. 6 hours on a coach there, 2 hours of football and 6 hours back. Even I have to admit I wouldn't fancy that. As for our kick off time - I quite like it and respect the fact it won't clash against Premier League kick off times, especially Prem games being shown on sky.

ramit Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 The attack on Wisdom is a blow, but i think it will pull the team closer together and there will be some focused players out there today hungry for the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve How Hard? Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 This is easier said than done but if we perform like we did against these in the 1st half at Pride Park then we have a very good chance of taking home all 3pts. We absolutely bossed them and carved them open numerous times. They were riding high at the time too and I'm sure their fans were impressed by us as no other team had done that to them all season. I was surprised how poor they were but a lot of that was down to how we performed. Same again boys. Let's do it for Wizzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the hotels are currently filled with the homeless - 3 meals a day and paid for by the government and a refurbishment paid for when they are told to leave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the first half when Bennett destroyed their right back - probably the last time Bennett played for us this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite bit of analysis from the PNE forums, was one of their fans saying (roughly), 'We look a decent team until the ball enters the final third. We then resemble Mark Thatcher in a desert.'

SuperDerbySuperRams Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Have Sky/EFL made any comments on why some games are starting at 5? I get that they want lots of football on the air, but some won’t be home from work for the game. I’m lucky I’m working from home, but even I don’t finish till 6. Seems unfair.

Will Hughes Hair Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 As an interesting aside it might be worth keeping half an eye on their No6 Ben Davies. A left-sided centre half with a year left on his contract. Rated by their fans but they also think he's off in the summer and probably not for anywhere near the money they were expecting six or so months ago.
