Ffs - it just gets worse, **cking sky tv.

Oh piss off

 

[MHS]

Feck off Sky you bunch of morons.

Brilliant...another cracking atmosphere on a Saturday moved to a twatty Monday evening (the worst of all Sky's slots!).

I know it's an inconvenience to many, but surely the extra revenue should be welcomed at this moment in time?

I thought the clubs got an equal share? I'm probably wrong though

Not really as I am sure the gate will be nowhere near the 30k which would have been anticipated for a saturday attendance. Having said that, don't know how much we share with **orest for a live showing.

Anyone know the figures? I know it's nearly half a million for hosting a PL game on television.

It's a relatively small amount and might not even cover the money lost from a reduced attendance.

We seem to be quiet popular with Sky at the moment-the new Newcastle maybe...

 

[Darth Vodka]

of my schedule desktop is out of date...

can anyone find an updated one on the official shite?

We have been told a few times at the FCC that Sky games often make a loss because the money for televising the game doesn't cover the loss of ticket revenue. Maybe with this game, people will still turn up, in which case the club would make a small amount of money, but it can't be that much if we do usually make a loss.

F*rest game has a good chance of selling out even on sky. It is games against the likes of QPR and Preston when gates will plummet especially if it is cold, dark and raining!

The Swansea away game has been moved yet again, this time to the Monday evening (still on SKY)

Yes. Done.

Interesting to see what happens Boxing Day...us and Tigers clash again.

We also do on the Feb 19th.

We were clashing for the Forest game.

 

[beaumontfox]

Well according to a Tiggers work colleague cos they moved their game last season on Boxing Day, we agreed that we would move ours next time it clashed on that fixture.

Good. I always have family commitments on Boxing Day, I might be able to get to the match if it's moved.

Presumably if it's moved to the 27th, the Millwall away game scheduled for the 28th would have to move too.
