Don't get me started.....
Or pray that their timetables are kind to them....
Precisely why we binned off Sky. I know our money won't be missed in the big scheme of things, but if more people make a stand, who knows?
It's a futile effort, isn't it.

Well done to you - and no, I don't think it is futile. One day the bubble will burst - and football and its supporters need to think about where they will be then.
Not everyone can drive, and if they can they might not have a car, might want to have a drink, might prefer not to drive, might not be able to afford to drive etc...
Moving a match from a Saturday to a week night inconveniences a lot of people, for lots of different reasons, transport is just one of the reasons.

Finishing work in Leicester at 5 and driving down to Reading in time for an 8 o'clock kick-off is no mean feat either. And all that to get back to Leicester in the early hours with not long to go before getting up for work on Tuesday. Sky is the enemy of all those who actually want to go to the match and should be seen in no other way.

125 miles, 2hr 15min, according to the AA Route planner. But I dare say that they didn't set off in the height of the rush hour and then have to find parking for the match at Reading.
Are you seriously suggesting that driving after work is a realistic proposition?

Never mind the fact that it is based on the assumption they are going from Leicester, for me to go from Cov might take longer, and Jeff from Carlisle definately would.

maybe some might be able to leave work a bit earlier??
And maybe some won't.

Yes, and this was my point several posts ago.
People will have to use holidays, or borrow time from work if they want to go. Sky could have chosen any other team bar us and QPR for that Monday slot.

some moan we arent on tv then when we are some still moan
Are you sure the people who moan about us not being on TV are the people who go to the games?
