stevegrant Posted 9 October, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrant Posted 9 October, 2013 Author Share Posted 9 October, 2013 According to the Premier League website, the Chelsea game will remain at 3pm. Excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 9 October, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsarum Posted 9 October, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrant Posted 9 October, 2013 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pip Posted 9 October, 2013 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted 9 October, 2013 Share 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!

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting in comparison that we would only have had 5 home games on a Saturday by new year too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While they've got 13 of 20 games televised, around half of those are Saturday lunchtime or evening games, so not a date change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eelpie Posted 9 October, 2013 Share 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 Share 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.
