If they've already made plans then they are even more stupid than I thought they were. It has been well published that ALL rescheduled games up to the end of September would be made public by tomorrow at the latest. October, November, December will be published before the opening weekend of the season. By November 1st, we'll know all TV games up to and including the first week of March. We all know there will be 5 of the 12 games rescheduled every Saturday of the season. Planning this early really is stupid, even if you are stupid enough to support Boro...

TomTom92 Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 I have to laugh at some of the uproar on social media. Its been well publicised about the deal and the fact that at least half the matches will be on sky and therefore at an inconvenient time. Whether its right or not is a different debate, but no point crying over spilt milk, it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, that was supposed to be the case last season as well, but Sky missed the deadline on multiple occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 I am glad I retired from work as my season ticket wouldn’t get used if most of these home games are appearing to be 12-30 kick offs which I simply wouldn’t have been able to do - I also don’t like them as I traditionally want them to be 3-00 pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flew back for 8 home games last season and didn't fall foul of Sky changing games at the last minute. Edited July 4 by MadAmster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I buy tickets match-by-match as I can't get to midweek games very often and can't make many early or late season games due to commitments. I didn't feel as bad in previous years as I always bought the Rams tv match pass for the midweek games and I felt like the club were getting something from me, as opposed to nothing. However, I don't think the club will be making as much with people having to go through Sky for these now. I may be wrong, but I don't see how the tv money will make up for the match tickets and £10 match passes the club will now miss out on. Sky are paying, from memory, either £8m or £9m for the rights to show DCFC each year. This actually exceeds ground receipts of the last season gone. However, there is no VAT on the TV rights (as it is charged by EFL and Sky reclaim from HMRC). DCFC income does not change whether or not you subscribe, unlike with a Rams TV pass, but the level of income they receive will be as many many many times more for the rights deal. Hence why it was agreed by all the clubs -the numbers are too good to turn down, even if it creates some fan issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnero Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Feckin joke, I have a feeling this season will be my last as a season ticket holder, Saturday 3pm home games are becoming rarer than rocking horse poo.
