thefuriousb Posted 3 July, 2015 Share Posted 3 July, 2015 The 2 Sky games were due to take place on Sunday anyway (assuming we qualified for the group stages of the Euopa League/got through the 2nd qualifying round) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 3 July, 2015 Share Posted 3 July, 2015 Newcastle away is lunch time on the Sunday on tv. Its not live on British TV, it is moved to Sunday because of our European game on the Thursday before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sour Mash Posted 3 July, 2015 Share Posted 3 July, 2015 My mistake. Makes even less sense having an early Sunday game if we're trekking miles on the Thursday night. Guess the thought is a few hours don't make too much difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErwinK1961 Posted 3 July, 2015 Share Posted 3 July, 2015 Bit annoying they have changed the Everton game, love a Saturday 3 o'clock kick off. I thought we'd have given them plenty of opportunity to stick us on the box already with potential Europa League changes to Sunday, without having to mess around with the other games!

Super_Uwe Posted 3 July, 2015 Share Posted 3 July, 2015 Glad that Saints will be on TV but I feel for the fans who follow the team regularly. Just seems like this season is going to be one big mess around with different fixture times here, there and everywhere. Mind you, at least these ones are planned now! It's the ones that get rearranged with a couple of weeks notice that would really annoy me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericofarabia Posted 3 July, 2015 Share Posted 3 July, 2015 Great ... that's my Family Sunday Roast off the agenda on my trip back to God's Country with the Norwich game being changed And the Man U game being put just out of reach even if the few extra days I've put in for get approved!!

The9 Posted 3 July, 2015 Share Posted 3 July, 2015 (edited) The best thing about being in the Europa League is not having to play a Friday night game, the worst thing is barely getting to play a Saturday afternoon one. FWIW, Aston Villa v Man U is opening the season on a Friday - they're claiming it's being West Midlands Police rejected the Saturday date and Man U have a CL match the following week so they "couldn't play on Sunday", but I'm fairly sure we all know it's so they can get a baseline on Friday attendance prior to the televised games on Fridays starting in 2016/17.

Friday night football is generally a good thing surely, better than Mondays and even a lot of Sunday options I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 3 July, 2015 Share Posted 3 July, 2015 Friday night football is generally a good thing surely, better than Mondays and even a lot of Sunday options I'd say. Come to think of it, the older I get, the better it is... it drags me out on a Friday night when I'd otherwise be doing stuff all. Previously it was a problem because I'd already be going out and it would eat into that time, but come to think of it, that doesn't happen any more. As for Sunday football, agreed that it's rubbish as I have to be in work on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
September Saint Posted 3 July, 2015 Share Posted 3 July, 2015 So everything up to the end of september is set in stone now? Wasn't it up to the end of October last season or is my memory playing tricks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 3 July, 2015 Share Posted 3 July, 2015 Wasn't it up to the end of October last season or is my memory playing tricks? Even if TV games are set, our participation (or not) in Europa League Play-Off Round and Group Stages can still change games before then. Give me a minute and I'll get back to my spreadsheet of potential changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CylonKing Posted 3 July, 2015 Share Posted 3 July, 2015 Just hope that the Villa game is not moved as I've already booked the hotel and hire car for the Saturday. Checked that there was no Europa match on the Thursday and who would want to watch us on T.V. against Villa in December. Obviously going to be a 0-0 borefest like every season. Ooohhhhh!

The9 Posted 3 July, 2015 Share Posted 3 July, 2015 (edited) Ok, yes, games are set until Chelsea away (which could be Sun October 4th or Monday 5th - without looking into it further [checking if other Sky/BT games have already been announced - EDIT: ONLY TV GAMES UP TO END OF SEPTEMBER] there are no European games the week after - but there are the week before [Group stages Matchday 2 for CL and EL] so it'll move from the Saturday date if we make the group stages - it might also move anyway if Chelsea want to shift it). Our first Sat 3pm game is Sep 26 against Swansea, first away is West Brom Sep 12th. Edited 3 July, 2015 by The9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 3 July, 2015 Share Posted 3 July, 2015 (edited) Remaining "Saturday" League dates before Christmas that could (or will) be affected by Europe: MatchDay 3 is before Liverpool (A), currently Sat 5 Oct, but will move as they are already in EL Group stages - League Cup is following midweek so unlikely to be the Monday. MatchDay 4 is before Sunderland (A), currently Sat 7 Nov, could move to Sunday if we make Group stages (or Sun/Mon for tv) MatchDay 5 is before Man City (A), currently Sat 28 Nov, but could move as they are already in CL Group stages - League Cup is following midweek so unlikely to be the Monday. MatchDay 6 is before Palace (A), currently Sat 12 Dec, could move to Sunday if we make Group stages (or Sun/Mon for tv) If we get to the Knockout stages of the Europa League (assume all could be moved to Sun/Mon for tv unless otherwise specified). R32 L1 is before the FA Cup 5th Round (otherwise a free date) Sat 18th Feb so that FA Cup game won't be on the Saturday. R32 L2 is before Chelsea (H) so will move from the Sat 27th Feb if we are still in Europe OR if one of us is in the League Cup Final, and might also move if they're still in Europe (they could also be in the Europa League). R16 L1 is before Stoke (A) or FA Cup 6th Round, on Sat 12th March so that won't be on the Saturday. R16 L2 is before Liverpool (H) on Sat 19 Mar so if either us OR them are still in Europe that won't be on the Saturday. QF L1 is before Newcastle (H) on Sat 9 Apr so that won't be on the Saturday. QF L2 is before Everton (A) on Sat 16 Apr so that won't be on the Saturday. SF L1 is before Man City (H) on Sat 30 Apr so if either us OR them are still in Europe that won't be on the Saturday. SF L2 is before Spurs (A) on Sat 7 May so if either us OR them are still in Europe that won't be on the Saturday. We will, however, be stuck playing Palace on the Sunday 15th May before the Europa League Final on Wednesday 18th May, and the FA Cup Final on Sat 21st May.

The9 Posted 3 July, 2015 Share Posted 3 July, 2015 Incidentally I hope the reason the Newcastle game kicks off early is due to the flight times from Newcastle to Southampton, or considering how long it takes to get back for a later kick off. If so, that would be very considerate of the club, and it's nice to think there might even be the remotest possibility that is the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 3 July, 2015 Share Posted 3 July, 2015 (edited) Why would Man City game move because they're in the Champions League? MatchDay 5? Suppose it might not, depends if they'd prefer an extra day to prepare for us or an extra day for the League Cup the week after, I know what I'd be doing in their situation, but then they might be playing Tuesdays I guess. Fair enough that if we're out of Europe and they decide not to change it it COULD stay on the Saturday, I'll change it. Probably more likely to move to the Sunday for tv anyway though. As for post-SF L1 moving for the home game - they might be in the Europa League by then. Edited 3 July, 2015 by The9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I pay much attention to CL - though we have now had a first instance of a game being moved to a Friday due (partially) to a CL fixture as of yesterday.
