ryan1992 0 Posted October 7, 2011 SKY really are ruining football. Football on boxing day is traditional, and now its on the Tuesday, so I''ll probably have to miss it due to work. Thanks a lot Murdoch/SKY! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unhinged Canary 375 Posted October 7, 2011 As of course, this would have been Rupert Murdochs personal decision to move this game........... [8-)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shack Attack 0 Posted October 7, 2011 In my humble opinion it is the replies to this thread which sum up everything that is wrong with modern day football rather than the decision to move one game by a day. * sits back and waits for abuse * Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spencer 1970 207 Posted October 7, 2011 I''m usually with you Shaks, but not here.Take for instance the fact that as the Liverpool game is now a 5.30 kick off and the trains out of L''pool stop at 7.30 it either means (a) I miss the game as can''t get home (2 tickets prob going spare BTW) ;0), or (b) drive up (meaning no beers).The same applies to Spurs fans (and us Capital canaries) as the last train is at 10pm so we''ve have to leave the game 5 mins early to catch said train...thats not on IMO.Moving football games to appease armchair fans can fook it up for proper supporters...thats my gripe, So IF they do decide to change them, why cant they look at who it will affect and not just the bank balance? Joined up thinking needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

curly_whirly_tipz 0 Posted October 7, 2011 I am kind of glad it has been moved seeing as it is a family time. However it is frustrating for those who it greatly inconvieniences. I think the plan is to take the fixture list with a pinch of salt then you wont be left disapointed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e10_yellow 0 Posted October 7, 2011 It''s a 7.30 kick off so Spurs and Norwich fans will easily be able to make the 2200 to Liverpool Street. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spencer 1970 207 Posted October 7, 2011 I''ve never "signed up to it" Shaks...& the beers quote was a bit tongue in cheek.So leaving a game early isnt that bad?? thats sacrilege in my book. Never, never never.Whilst trying to second guess me, I''ll spill the beans...I''ve never subscribed to SKY,(never bought the Sun either for that matter)...although I have sipped the ales of a publican who has Sky on the tele box...and I admit yes, I did enjoy the top flight more when it was the first division before the Prem...it just felt like football to me. I also prefer vinyl to Mp3s, and a good Paul Smith, Mcqueen, or Lacoste than a t-shirt from Next/gap/H&M...but then thats me. Not too "general public" some might say. Plus if all this money in "new football" is such a good thing then why is it so many clubs are in debt? Including the big ones? ...but maybe I''ve strayed into another topic entirely. Sorry ''bout that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
......and Smith must score. 1,331 Posted October 7, 2011 Lot of gnashing of teeth/ I''m-all-right-Jack smirking going on on here today.To save any more '' now I can/can''t go '' debate in future seasons I suggest we instruct the NCFC management to forget about all the untold ££££''s the TV companies are prepared to dump in our lap and return to League One as soon as possible.......[;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The matchday experience has changed enormously over the last fifteen to twenty years and we''ve just sort of shrugged our shoulders and let it happen. There are so many people on here who seemingly hate every aspect of modern football yet turn up every week and then have a good moan afterwards. There is always a choice. If you''re really not enjoying it anymore then stop going. The season ticket waiting list was pretty long last time I checked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert N. LiM 4,218 Posted October 8, 2011 But no one wants to ''stop going'', and that''s exactly what Sky and the clubs know. So they can do what they want.Totally agree with Shack about Sky, though. If you have a subscription (or read the Sun or the Times for that matter), you have absolutely no right to complain. You''re part of the problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spencer 1970 207 Posted October 8, 2011 Shaks,I never once said I didn''t like going to modern football matches, and I definitely have never hated the experience (bar Charlton away in THAT game). I just said I preferred it how if was...but then I preferred my Mrs 15 years ago too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
