Reading away now on Sky

[Yorkshire Vixen]

Are you sure the people who moan about us not being on TV are the people who go to the games?

i bet some are and i bet some wouldnt moan if our game at cov for instance was put back til a monday night for sky

I would.

Who?

 

[Nottingham Fox]

precisely they could do any of the above or even throw a sickie

some moan we arent on tv then when we are some still moan

I think the fact of this particular moan is that Sky could have picked any other team aside from QPR and us to fill that slot on Monday and no one would have had a problem.

The Reading game as that has just been annoucned. We've known for a few weeks about QPR.

i wonder how many of those who are moaning about this went to newcastle last night?? im genuinely curious

 

[bocadillo]

maybe some might be able to leave work a bit earlier??

Twice in the same week?

Twice in the same week?

theres always holidays or chucking a sickie if needs be - not that it makes any difference to you

 

[bocadillo]

if people really want to go there will be ways around to get to the game

But if it weren't for this ridiculous situation where Sky can dictate dates and times, there wouldn't be any need for your 'ways around' and football could be played at the proper time.

I moaned about the Newcastle match being moved. I still went, but it meant I had to drive instead of going on the train.

Being a bank holiday not so many people would have had problems with getting time off work, so it's not quite the same situation.

and we all know that sky are going to inconvenience fans up and down the country every week - not a lot we can do about it unfortunately

You should be ashamed for suggesting that in what up until now has been a serious conversation.

Some people may have decided not to go for this reason, but I'm sure most people can cope with the occasional late night and still get to work the next day.

like driving to and from reading

And what about London again on a Friday night in the same week?

This is the problem YV, the fact we've been moved to play TWICE away from home, in the same week.

As has been pointed out, getting to Reading after work could be a problem for a lot of people.

I don't think it's right that genuine supporters should be inconvenienced, have to take time off work, spend more money etc just so a few armchair fans can pay through the nose to watch it. You obviously disagree.

I think having to do it once is a problem.

There will always be night games that cause problems for supporters, but having a night game but no game on a Saturday is taking the piss.

i dont necessarily agree with it but like i said they dont care about the travelling fans but there isnt a great deal we can do about it, fans know theyre going to have to change their plans etc at the start of the season at some point or another
