stevegrant Posted 9 October, 2013 Posted 9 October, 2013 Spurs moved to Sunday 22nd December, 1:30pm kickoff on Sky. Chelsea still on New Years' Day, on BT Sport, time doesn't appear to have been confirmed by the club or BT yet.
Colinjb Posted 9 October, 2013 Posted 9 October, 2013 Well, this ties in nicely with another thread today I suppose!
Window Cleaner Posted 9 October, 2013 Posted 9 October, 2013 Good, won't have to watch a sticky stream for those games then. They'll be on Canal +
stevegrant Posted 9 October, 2013 Author Posted 9 October, 2013 According to the Premier League website, the Chelsea game will remain at 3pm. Excellent.
Colinjb Posted 9 October, 2013 Posted 9 October, 2013 According to the Premier League website, the Chelsea game will remain at 3pm. Excellent. As it's a Wednesday not a Saturday I bet, they can still televise games at 3pm.
COMEONYOUREDS Posted 9 October, 2013 Posted 9 October, 2013 ffs. not going to bother renewing next season as this will be the 3rd game i've missed this season due to other plans
oldsarum Posted 9 October, 2013 Posted 9 October, 2013 With those games announced, I would hope that means Newcastle away and Everton away games will remain as 3Pm on Saturday's
stevegrant Posted 9 October, 2013 Author Posted 9 October, 2013 With those games announced, I would hope that means Newcastle away and Everton away games will remain as 3Pm on Saturday's It does indeed. Both broadcasters have announced their schedules up to and including 1st January.

stevegrant Posted 9 October, 2013 Author Posted 9 October, 2013 As it's a bank holiday, kickoffs will vary quite wildly, I suspect. There are televised games at 12:30, 15:00 and 17:30, but wouldn't be surprised to see some 13:00 and 19:45 kickoffs in there as well.
Saint_clark Posted 9 October, 2013 Posted 9 October, 2013 ffs. not going to bother renewing next season as this will be the 3rd game i've missed this season due to other plans Going to have to think long and hard about it myself, it's going to be a lot of money next season...
Wes Tender Posted 9 October, 2013 Posted 9 October, 2013 Going to have to think long and hard about it myself, it's going to be a lot of money next season... It will be, what with the expense of European football too.
Whitey Grandad Posted 9 October, 2013 Posted 9 October, 2013 It will be, what with the expense of European football too. Plus the away games
Pip Posted 9 October, 2013 Posted 9 October, 2013 Fed up with all this changing. Think they should use some of the tv money to recompense season ticket holders who can no longer make the game. Why should we be expected to pay in advance for games when we don't even know when they will take place? It wouldn't be hard to block a ST for one game with the new turnstiles.
View From The Top Posted 9 October, 2013 Posted 9 October, 2013 One of the main factors when we decided not to re-new our STs this year was the amount of games that get moved that we can't go to. Sunday/Monday games were out for us due to other sporting commitments.
Jack Posted 9 October, 2013 Posted 9 October, 2013 I didn't renew this season either. Catch 22 - we wanted success but to get all that TV money, the EPL has to move loads of games for TV. I'm massively missing it though, have only been to Sunderland at home and Norwich away so haven't really had anything to get excited over yet!

Sympathies to you.

Catch 22 - we wanted success but to get all that TV money, the EPL has to move loads of games for TV. I'm massively missing it though, have only been to Sunderland at home and Norwich away so haven't really had anything to get excited over yet! We've been relatively fortunate so far in that we've not been a particularly appealing prospect for the TV companies for whatever reason, despite being fairly entertaining to watch. This season, including the scheduled games up to 1st January, we've only had 4 games of 20 where the date has been changed due to TV and one for the Europa League (25% of all games), and last season 5 for TV (3 televised games on Saturdays so date unchanged) and 3 for Europa League (21%). Compare that to Spurs, who are both a popular team to be televised (12 of their 20 will be shown) and competing in the Europa League so have their following games moved even if they're not broadcast, who will have had 13 of their 20 games moved to the Sunday - come the New Year, they'll have had just FOUR Saturday matches

It's interesting in comparison that we would only have had 5 home games on a Saturday by new year too.
stevegrant Posted 9 October, 2013 Author Posted 9 October, 2013 While i'm assuming you mean for both home and away games. It's interesting in comparison that we would only have had 5 home games on a Saturday by new year too. The Chelsea and Villa games are midweek, so that's a slightly misleading statistic, to be fair. It does appear as though Sky/BT would prefer to broadcast our home games rather than aways, though. And yes, that Spurs comparison is for all fixtures. Only ONE away game on a Saturday (at Sunderland) out of the first ten.
Whitey Grandad Posted 9 October, 2013 Posted 9 October, 2013 Isn't it even worse for Man Utd? Not that I care about that.
stevegrant Posted 9 October, 2013 Author Posted 9 October, 2013 Isn't it even worse for Man Utd? Not that I care about that. Surprisingly not. While they've got 13 of 20 games televised, around half of those are Saturday lunchtime or evening games, so not a date change.

eelpie Posted 9 October, 2013 Posted 9 October, 2013 ffs. not going to bother renewing next season as this will be the 3rd game i've missed this season due to other plans Couldn't agree more. The club couldn't care les. They have our money, and they have TV revenues as well. Double wammy for the club and fa for the ST holders who can't make re-arranged times.
bender Posted 10 October, 2013 Posted 10 October, 2013 ffs. not going to bother renewing next season as this will be the 3rd game i've missed this season due to other plans Can you not sell your ST ticket on a game by game basis. My brother has a ticket at Brighton and doesnt go to half the games, but over the season gets half the cost of the ST back when he doesnt go.
