Last Home Game of Season Moved

Recommended Posts

The last home game of season (Reading) has been moved from saturday 25th 3pm KO to Monday 27th 7.45pm KO due to sky covering the match.Its a shame because SKY rarely cover norwich away games :( but at least we get some much needed money!!!

Last home  game of the season totally messed up by Murdoch''s Mob.Player of the season,lap of honour (lol) and just the general feel of final day wiped away by this.Hopefully this will be a meaningless match for us by then, but , I bet more pressure is applied by the weekends results.Can the club tell Rupert where to shove it ,or are we duty bound to accept this?

How much money do we get from this because frankly if its not a lot we should tell them where to stick it. Massively, massively inconvenient for me and I am sure many other fans!

Although I''m a firm advocate of playing games on a Saturday afternoon like the S*um Derby games should always be played on a Saturday as Sunday football is c*ap on this occasion I''m reasonably pleased!

 

We have had some great games in the evenings so the atmosphere should be good particularly if we need a result which is likely and the club will get some much needed money from SKY!

The end of the Prem

CHAMPS ... Manchester United could compete in European Super League

CHAMPS ... Manchester United could compete in European Super League

FOOTBALL’S most powerful clubs are hatching plans for a European Super League

which could destroy the Premier League.

Anxious Premier League officials are aware of the proposals and monitoring

developments.

The Euro revolution would see the creation of three divisions — each with 20

teams.

Our Big Four — Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal — would be in

the top division, forced to play 38 European games alone.

That would rule out any chance of them competing in the Premier League as well

and would therefore spell the end of English football as we know it.

Premier chief executive Richard Scudamore has been alerted and would fiercely

resist any moves to either abolish the Premier or reduce its size to

accommodate extra European fixtures.

But that resistance could force English competitors in a European League to

withdraw from the Premier League altogether.

Unofficial talks have already taken place between members of the influential

European Club Association (ECA) to discuss the idea of a three-division

competition involving up to 60 teams.

The secret plotters plan to get their lucrative idea off the ground by as

early as 2012.

The idea, believed to be the brainchild of AC Milan, is to scrap the Champions

League and UEFA Cup in favour of the new competition.

England has FIVE members of the ECA — the Big Four and Newcastle.

The Premier League’s Big Four would all qualify for the top division of a

European League, while Newcastle would be involved in the second division.

The idea for the new competition was first floated at a UEFA strategy meeting

in Switzerland last Tuesday.

And though it is not on the official agenda, the subject is sure to generate

further discussion when the 135 ECA members meet this week.

Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas let the cat out of the bag when he briefed

the French media of the talks following his team’s elimination from the

Champions League last week.

Although the plans are still in their infancy, it appears the new league would

be open only to members of the ECA.

That would mean only the five English teams with the highest UEFA coefficient

would be eligible to take part.

It was the threat of a breakaway European League by the members of the former

G14 organisation which forced UEFA to introduce the Champions League in 1992.

But this time the competition could go ahead with the blessing of UEFA. Their

president Michel Platini said: “We are a democratic organisation who will

listen to the views of everyone. We will seek the views of all the

stakeholders then, when the time comes, it will be up to the executive of

UEFA to decide.”

At present, the plan is for the European League to run alongside any domestic

leagues. But fixture congestion would make that proposal virtually

impossible.

Any new competition could not start before 2012, when UEFA’s current deal for

TV coverage of the Champions League expires.

But Premier League observers are convinced it could be years before all the

problems are ironed out.

One source told SunSport: “No one has any idea how this proposal would work.

“How would teams qualify? How would they decide on promotion and relegation?

How many teams would be eligible from each country? How do you fit in all

the games?

“It wouldn’t be in the interests of any English team to leave the Premier

League to play in a European competition. Manchester United fans would much

rather watch their team playing against Manchester City, Everton and

Tottenham than they would against Alkmaar, Porto and Zenit St Petersburg.

“English teams are dominating in Europe because of the collective strength and

wealth of the Premier League.

“They would not want to jeopardise that by going it alone to play in a

closed-shop competition created by European teams looking for guaranteed

protection against failure to qualify for the Champions League.”

Last night the ECA appeared to cave in as criticism of the plans leaked out.

Executive board members issued a statement declaring: “The ECA is very happy

with the existing European competitions.”

But it will do little to silence the concerns of fans.

    Not this rubbish again... This does the rounds every few years just like the rumour that Rangers and Celtic joining the premier league.  it''ll never happen as the FA/Premier League/FIFA would never want it to happen.  The clubs themselves should not want it to happen as they will be cutting off half of their money (from the premier league).  The other clubs in the premier league will not want it to happen as it''ll make the premier league money the same as the football league.

    It''s a total disgrace, last Saturday home game is now laughably the 4th April! For us heading back to London it''s always a quick dash at the final whistle to make the 10pm train, so no hanging around for the "staying up" players parade. Wish the club would tell Sky where to shove it.

    It simply won''t happen - the fans don''t want it. At the moment the big PL clubs can have their cake and eat it - they still play in a home-based league but also regularly have matches against the likes of Barcelona and Inter Milan. Why on earth would they change that?

    didn''t think it was a six figure amount, might be way off the mark here but £40,000 to the home team £15,000 to the away time rings a distant bell

    I also concur. Not a bloody thought given to fans who have to travel, not to mention work. I already have tickets for myself and son which it now doesn''t seem I can use.
