They're getting worse this season, particularly in our division. They now do a thing where they release a set of Championship fixtures for the month, then a few weeks later add to them. So you see the announcement for 'March games on Sky', think your other March games are safe, and then potentially lose one a few weeks later.
The worst thing about it is there's no real excuse for it. You can look at the league tables now, know who's up there, know who's down there, know what's going to be a big games, and schedule it through until May give or take a bit of uncertainty with the FA Cup.
Why do they have to be such sods about it? |  | | |

Just an experiment to see how much they can cnt every single fan off before the last one throws in the towel, no doubt. |  |

Will they then use a 'canned' audience track? |  |

Because it's been done three weeks before the fixture was due to take place. Means all the leicester fans planning to travel by train now have worthless (but very expensive) tickets for to London on the Saturday, and will have to pay for new ones (at high prices as it's only three weeks away) to do the same journey on Sunday. Same thing happened to us with our Middlesbrough game. It's an issue wider than Arsenal v Leicester. | | | |

Tried it in Germany didn't they, until the fans twigged. | |

Because countless Leicester fans have already bought tickets to travel to the game against Arsenal, only for Sky to move it and fck their plans. It's not about 'us and them' especially when the same thing happened to us not long ago for the Boro game.
It's the lack of consideration to the actual fans that attend games that pisses people off, some of the away attendances for Thursday night games this season have been a disgrace - yet they want the 'incredible atmospheres' for their games so more people watch.
It also means instead of us all being able to plan and buy tickets for things well in advance whilst they're available cheap, we're holding off until announcements are made and spending more because of it (as above, even that doesn;t always work). Unless you want to gamble and hope it's not moved. | |

The home games are getting ridiculous now. 12.30 is just a sh t time for a KO. I hate it.
Wolves was originally 3.00. And wasn't Fulham originally 3.00 as well?
Anyway, I have 12.30's and will now miss both games. That's 6 tickets gone.
All for the fricking TV
And no, I don't want to watch TV at 1.30 either. Fckrs. [Post edited 22 Jan 2016 11:43]

The Championship 1230 games are particularly annoying, not only for the lack of atmosphere, but also because they're there purely to try and clip the audience of BT's Premier League match at the same time. The audience they get is absolutely pitiful. | | | |

yep 12.30 is a sh1t KO time , I hate them, pretty much all of the games that kick off at that time are awful
no one is awake, no one has had a beer, the atmosphere is poor , no one can be arsed
I do wonder how much we get for these sky championship TV games if its a few hundred grand , could we not just tell them to poke it ? |  |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Think Leeds tried that and failed PP
Will be in league rules that you basically KO when told. | | | |

maybe us, Leeds , Wolves, Forest, Derby, Cardiff, and a few others could get together then Pinner and say we will not be part of the SKY deal next year if we have these stupid kick off times , perhaps we could look to negotiate a tv deal elsewhere with just the top 10 championship clubs | |

There's no way any club in the Football League will ever say they won't be part of the Sky / BT deals. There's more money in football than ever and the fans just simply have to suck it up; clubs are not fighting their corners. Very sad state of affairs, which isn't even being addressed as crowds go down due to over-pricing. | | | |

The Sky Prem deal, no your right mate no club can turn it down
the League TV deal cant be worth that much surely otherwise cherlino wouldn't have threated to ban sky from the ground
if the top clubs in the league can get together and say we aren't having these stupid 12.30 kick offs , maybe they could force skys hand and go to BT with an idea for a PL 2
with 5.00 kick offs for TV on a Saturday night | |

Quick question if anyone can help. Is our game against Fulham being shown on sky? I noticed the time change but must of missed the reason on the official website and on here. I checked sky live games and can't see our game listed. I'm assuming this would only change for sky?
Edit: Ignore this. Just noticed it is now listed as a live sky game. [Post edited 22 Jan 2016 13:39]

The only way for fans to really show their displeasure is to boycott games. Rows of empty seats at a 'big' game won't sit well with the PL and their big TV rights deals around the world.
It's unlikely to happen though, we're like druggies waiting for our next fix! |  |

Apologies to all you 'Old Worlders', but us antipodeans (WA excepted) happen to like the 12.30 kick-offs. 11.30 pm AEST (10.30 pm in Brizzy, 9.30 pm in NZ) kick-offs are as close to civilised as we get. Those damn 5.30 pm (your time) ko's are a real bitch: either finally go to bed at 6.30 am Sunday, or else set the alarm for 4.30 am Sunday morning.
Ok, you can all resume fulminating. My unwelcome observation of appreciation is finished. | |

It’s not just the Leicester fans being f ucked about — Arsenal have LOADS of fans that travel from far afield in the UK and from abroad for their games. If some poor bugger’s booked in for trains or flying out on Saturday night/Sunday morning, they’re stuffed too. People with hotels now have rooms they don't need for the Saturday and rooms needed for the Sunday. And other fans will have swapped shifts/plans about to make the Saturday game as it was originally scheduled. An absolute disgrace. |  |

Some Leicester fans' group has urged them all to follow the example set by Bayern last year and turn up 5 mins into the game. They're also calling for Arsenal fans to do the same.
Really think it would send out a good message - those million$ round the world watching this 'product' would soon see how interesting it'd be without the supporting cast - us! With zero atmosphere (yes yes, even less than usual at the Emirates), it'd be like watching a training game. | |

Not a bad idea that. Fans will never boycott because as mentioned, it's a crackaddict fix. But 5 minute delay, everyone's (kind of?) a winner. |  |

Banners and anti Sky songs too. FC United of Manchester boycotted the whole of the first half and spent the second half singing hideously offensive stuff about Jake Humphrey and BT for one of their FA Cup games earlier this year - even with the pitchside mics turned down it was so obvious the commentators and presenters had to acknowledge and mention it a few times. | | | |

These things don't just affect the away fans, plenty of home fans travel distances too to get to the game.
edit: sorry, just seen Konk said the same!

Sky will more than likely turn down the volume or pipe in crowd noise to disguise the anti SKY chants , anyone holding up a banner with an anti SKY message will have it confiscated by a steward, you cant win unless you don't go
problem is as a Prem club you sell your soul to the devil for the 70 million you get for tv rights , clubs don't have a leg to stand on | |
