Monday night after everyone else. Shouldn''t be allowed with 2 games left.

Oh FFS. Impossible to get home from that one on the night now, will have to stay in London. Hope they still run a ballot for it though.

This has really angered me - how can they move our penultimate game by two days?! Absolute joke.

Could be one of the biggest games I our history, and then less of a break for Coventry!

Does the club have to agree to moving the match if Sky wants to?

Thats what I was thinking, shame for people who wanted to travel and have an early start on the Tuesday though

Out of interest, does the club make much money from being televised like this ?

[Bill 1,788]

Yes it will allow most City fans to watch the game

but rather worrying is that fact that it is still March and we have only ONE more Saturday 3pm kick off - home or away

the tail is wagging the dog a bit too much, methinks

Football has to agree to everything Sky wants to do..

 

It''s the law!

 

Works out ok for me, I could probably go now!

Wanted to go and watch this, but can''t go now! At least it''s on telly!

Sky''s schedule has another Championship match slot at 5pm on that Monday, don''t know who''s got it though.

[quote user="marvin the martian"]Out of interest, does the club make much money from being televised like this ?[/quote]I think, but I''m not 100% sure that it''s 100k for home clubs but only 10k for away.

Good point, it''s a bank holiday, forgot that.

[Bill 1,788]

I think Leeds are also playing on that sunday rather than the Sat

Still it does mean that Pompey landlady will be able to show this game without having to use a dodgy Greek satellite link

will be fun trying to get back on bank holiday monday, even going to essex M25 will be mullered.

[Proper Charlie 0]

I''m seriously pi**ed off about this one, had planned a weekend away with my son who i only have at weekends, down to see and stay with some of the wifes family a stones throw from fratton park. Wan**rs! I can''t bloody go now because of this. Tv it is then, hopefully promotion will be wrapped up by then any way so I won''t miss too much! Grrrrrr!!

[Bradwell Yellow 0]

Definitely more cons than pros with this. Very annoying, with it being a bank holiday.

[Hannibal 0]

WHY??? I was more than happy with it at 3pm and was going to go! now i can''t as i''ll wont be able to get it off work. why not just move it back to a 1715 kick off for Sky not 2 bloody days!

[grantroederdisaster 0]

Not good for those planning to go there but the club will benefit from the extra revenue! 

[Bill 1,788]

"will be fun trying to get back on bank holiday monday, even going to essex M25 will be mullered.

"

it will be as clear as a bell

fans won''t be hitting the M25 at least 11pm -

the A3 is a pig with silly roundabouts and lights all the way up which will mean an average 50 mph if you are lucky

[Paul 0]

just wait til next season when we will have games all over the place in the prem

[Yobocop 1,099]

down the m3 and m27 me thinks

[rondy 0]

works for me as am going to a wedding on the saturday, but totally understand everyone''s frustration! Get used to it though, as saturday afternoon games will be at a premium in the prem..

If everyone can put aside their own individual ''inconveniences'' for a momemt and allow themselves to look at the bigger picture, this is sureley fantastic news, and potentially even ''promotion winning news''??. What an absolute gift to be put in a position where you know exactly what we need to do with with 2 games left after everyone else has played their penultimate game!.

  I''m quite suprised that the football league would even allow such a potential advantage to one club!
