Saint Malc Posted 16 February, 2012 Share Posted 16 February, 2012 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2613105,00.html Reading's visit to St. Mary's has been brought forward for live television coverage. The game originally scheduled for Saturday 14th April will now take place on Friday 13th April kick-off 7.45pm live on Sky Sports. I'm getting a bit fed up with this. How many Saturday 3pm kick-offs have we had this season? I s'pose it's a measure of our success, which can't be a bad thing, but I love going to games at 3pm on a Saturday.

I s'pose it's a measure of our success, which can't be a bad thing, but I love going to games at 3pm on a Saturday. I do agree, but if they have to be moved either Friday or Saturday evenings aren't too bad at all. Knock off work a bit early, works well for a few beers and a bit of atmosphere and frees up the rest of the weekend. Club earn a few quid out of it. Could be worse.

This Charming Man Posted 16 February, 2012 Share Posted 16 February, 2012 Already thinking the same mate. Was struggling for a date to get away on in April but this has worked out perfectly. Bundesliga kick off times should be announced in the coming week or so, may think about heading to Belgium but they announce their kick off times fairly last minute.

JRM Posted 16 February, 2012 Share Posted 16 February, 2012 Haha my Reading mate at work is not happy!!! They have already had their easter Monday game moved to Tuesday night away at Brighton and now have saints away on the Friday night of the same week!! 2 midweek away games in a week is a bit harsh, especially when they are what Reading would consider good , local days out on the beer. Tuesday 10th Brighton v Reading Friday 13th Saints v Reading On the other hand we have Palace away on the Monday 9th so have an extra days preparation. I notice Reading v Leeds has been moved as well to good Friday for tv, so assume our game v Skates is staying on the Saturday for now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised no one has picked up on this - Sky have chosen to broadcast a game AFTER the Skates home match. So are they not televising it? I'd be surprised if it wasn't a featured game on the Football League Show at the very least, but not televising it at all? Hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 16 February, 2012 Share Posted 16 February, 2012 I hate SKY!!!!! really making me think about renewing my season tickets next year. Agreed. Don't have a season ticket but was given Final 10 tickets (for me and daughter), Friday evening is a fecking nightmare, another half day off work. Also screws up daughter's birthday, she was looking forward to going to the footy on her birthday, then out for dinner afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM Posted 16 February, 2012 Share Posted 16 February, 2012 http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12942,00.html nothing about saints v pompey there that's because it has not been moved for tv. it was brought forward to a 1pm kick off on the saturday on police advice which is where it has stayed, i heard the game would not be moved to the sunday and Palace away being on the monday still confirms that, which left possibilities of saturday lunchtime or good friday spots, looks like the tv companies going to give it a miss. once again though it won't be a saturday 3pm. this season we had no saturday 3pm HOME games from 18th November - 11th Feb, now will also not have them in April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Diamond Posted 16 February, 2012 Share Posted 16 February, 2012 Perhaps on the BBC again? They wouldn't do the same fixture twice given how little games they broadcast. Fairly sure on that one. Can't blame them after the borefest both sides served up at Fratton. After how sh1te the last match was the TV companies are probably giving it a swerve. Doesn't matter. One of the biggest games in the Championship calendar, surely, when they'll be fighting relegation and we'll be trying to get promoted. You don't decide not to show Spurs v Arsenal because the last game wasn't great and ended 1 - 1. I'm not saying it's on a par with a Premier League derby, but in terms of a Football League fixture that attracts interest and has such importance? I'd be baffled if it wasn't shown.

Saints foreva Posted 16 February, 2012 Share Posted 16 February, 2012 Sky were never going to show the Saints and Pompey game as Arsenal vs Man City and SPL final day fall on the same day.

Unless one is moved of course, but you've probably hit on the reason it won't be shown. It'll have to be the featured game on the Football League Show then.

Somebody at Sky has obviously got money on another team going up. Rearranging our fixtures for TV coverage is ovbiously an attempt at trying to influence the outcome of the season. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
