What w*nky fixtures.

 

You can see Sky's thinking.

 

Two pastings and two relegation 6-pointers.

 

I imagine their thinking is; Get the Champions and the biggest club in the world on TV as much as possible and every now and then, we'll have to show two small teams playing each other so we don't seem biased.

yeah, that is it

 

is there anything that does not get your back up..?

Its quite incredible how angry one person can seem to be, all the time, and about the slightest of minor details. Getting through each day must be such a chore, if learning of news that Saints will play Fulham on TV is enough to invoke such vitriol. All 4 announced TV games against sides that finished inside the top 10 last season. Disaster.

Imagine being a passenger in a car he was driving.

I am pleased with this due to holiday commitments - I can now find a bar in portugal to watch the mancity match and I will be back intime for the man u match thus only missing the wigan match.

Actually, I would've thought the idea of us perhaps beating City would've been a much more interesting prospect for them.

Its a win-win situation for them in terms of viewing figures.

This is why I decided not to renew my ST for the first time in years. I'll watch Sunday games down my local on the telly.

 

All 2 of them?

 

I'm willing to bet we were on TV more last year than we will be this year.

Surprised they picked the Fulham game.

 

Totally p!ssed off!! This was on of the few games I'd be able to watch due work schedule - now that one has gone down the swanny as well FFS.

Anyone know where to look for cheap deals on the trains? We're going up saturday morning and back on the 7.36pm Sunday evening, but the cheapest train ticket I can find is £83. There are 4 of us going so it'll be much cheaper if one of us drives, but with the game being moved to the sunday, it would be a sober away day for one of us, which is a bag of sh*t.

From Euston it's about 30 with a railcard. Singles from Euston to Piccadilly on the Saturday are £7.90 or £11 without a railcard.

I'm sure they'll pencil in a few more once we're challenging for the top 4.

Have you got a young persons rail card?

Cheers. Looked through all that, the tickets are cheap on the saturday but the singles back to Euston are expensive and it costs about £30 return to go from Southampton to Euston. Robbing b*stards. £332 to get four of us to Manchester and back.

 

Looks like we could be drawing straws for who's driving home on the sunday, or stay till Monday.

Seeing as this will affect us now......

Nah, I'm 25 so not sure if I'd qualify, and I was never a student so didn't ever really have much reason to use a lot of public transport.

It's 16-25 I think. Gets you a third off.

Pretty sure you still qualify. They're worth their weight in gold if you can get one, I'd try that first of asap, take a third off your price.

You do qualify. You can even renew the day before your 26th Birthday. You'll make your money back on it on this one trip to Manchester.

Get a railcard and you can go up on the Saturday and back on the Sunday for £36, for an extra £5 you can even go 1st class on the way back. Look on Virgin trains website.
