ram2767 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Fantastic, absolutely fantastic. Was one of the away games I was planning on going to but wouldn't be able to get there in time, that solves a few problems 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekkie_ram Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Seems the cameras are avoiding Pride Park so far this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariotofmyown Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Had already arranged to meet up with loads of my mates in London on Saturday evening after going to the game with a couple of them who support Palace. As a result, I'm probably biased but seems rubbish game to move this game to a Friday night. How are Derby fans supposed to get to South London and back on a Friday night? You can't blame anyone for not going when it's on Sky. As a result, there will be a flat atmosphere rather than a big day out on the Saturday. Whilst we are on about TV, why the F is Derby Forest never televised. It's always a sell out (at Pride Park anyway) so those who can't get a ticket can watch on the box. Whereas most local matches have passion but little excitement, there have been some great Derby Forest games over the last 2-3 years. The game always gets moved to 1pm too so is already almost in the right slot for TV. At least they've got our game at Leicester on the box, rather than, say, Pompey away on a Friday night. At whoever thinks Coventry Derby should be on TV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby_Dave Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Work etc makes that lot harder. Early days now I guess the powers that be will assess the options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekkie_ram Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 People will just have to target the WHU game for a day out in London. =) Personally, I'm happy enough for any Derby game to be on Sky, with it being difficult to get over. I would have been gutted if Peterborough had moved though. (well, an earlier Saturday kick-off wouldn't have mattered much). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Aren't we on the box v Leicester too? They always televise that HUGE East Midlands derby. Leicester v Forest, Derby v Leicester. Always on the box one way or the other. Friday night. I hate Sky. Aren't Leeds playing that weekend or summat?

Asanovic Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 From a selfish point of view I'm ten mins away on the train, but it's **** having it on a Friday - nothing like a London day out with Derby, is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Last time Derby vs Forest was on telly was the Tvvatwell game wasn't it? Since then has there been a game between us without a bit of drama and/or controversy? Doesn't seem like it. That coupled with it being THE East Midlands derby makes it a bit conspicuous by its absence from Sky's schedule of matches. Perhaps they're Forest fans and knew what was coming.....

Duracell Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I swear Sky get the office idiot who's only interested in fishing the fixtures. Or maybe they through darts. Or maybe they're trying to get people watching Sky1 on Fridays instead. But the decisions for games is ridiculous. If they start claiming our game with Leicester is a derby match, I'm kicking off.

MuespachRam Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Sky again screwing with my life. 6 of us coming over from Muespach on the Friday for a weekend on the lash in London. Now got to pray that The flight is on time or risk missing the game altogether... Thanks a million Rupert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
