Might lead to points deducted and fine. Only way could be if no one watched Sky Sports, but that won’t happen

Wonder if the club will be handing out ‘loyalty gifts’ like the scarves from last season to fans who attend all 23 home league games ?? The clubs have taken TV’s money but yet they say they want fans to attend. Richie often mentions how many fans he hopes will come along rather that sit at home in their armchairs.
Why are the clubs taking Sky’s money and making it easier for fans NOT to attend a game………and then say ‘ they can’t understand why our attendance is down ‘
I believe that Birmingham actually stopped live UK TV coverage on Tuesday in an effort to get fans along to the ground.

Already booked (8 months ago) to go to another non-football event that evening. Not at all happy with this turn of events.

Wish everyone in the country would get a dodgy stick and put Sky out of business.

I understand everyone's annoyance but from a purely selfish point of view, as an overseas fan, I have never seen so many games live ( on tv)
I did once book a visit to London to see a live match, only to see it moved to a different date. On the upside I got to see the ballet instead.

Book tickets through Cross Country, they allow free changes (not refunds) to date and time with no admin fee.

Passing our tickets to a neighbour who is an Os fan and currently living with an aggressive cancer. He's very happy, so despite my annoyance at the match being moved, there is always a silver lining.

8.00 on a Thursday night - a perfect time to watch a game of football. But if you sell your soul to TV you have to accept what they throw at you. Who cares about the fans? They are becoming increasingly irrelevant.

Our last home game of the season is Wycombe. With what could be riding on that, I can see a chance of that being moved

Yeah - I may be able to change to another match (although not many left) - it looks like I can change date / time, just not get a refund.

Hope not, as that looks like the only one I could change train tickets for.

Announcement has just been made that the final games of the season the week after are all 3pm on the Saturday, so that is at least something.

But yes, this game is nailed on to be of some significance and therefore moved from Saturday 3pm.

If you think this is bad, wait and see what it’s like in the Championship (if the dream came true). My mate is a Leeds fan and he’s given up on Saturday 3pm kick offs altogether
