Does anyone know when sky announce their televised games for April?

Thinking about buying train tickets for Hull, but as this has promotion and relegation interest (although no doubt we will be safe by then) i can see this being televised and kick off time being changed.

The cuurent contract sttes that each club in the Championship MUST have at least one home game shown

Which would have been the Hull game

I sent off a snotty e-mail to head of Sky sports a couple of days ago requesting the Sheffield Wednesday game be shown

as their is currently a gap at 3 pm on Easter Monday for a live game

I don't think easter monday games come under the 3pm blackout

Lets wait and see

Also heard an alleged rumour that the Huddersfield v Hull game was forced on them by Sky

Even though one or maybe both clubs didn't want the game shown live

Be interesting to see if Sky withdraw the live coverage and that coud leave a slot open for a Derby v City game being shown live

If true, See ruining football thread!!!!!

Football is Saturday afternoon at 3:00 and more recently Tuesday nights at 7:45 not this Friday or Monday crap

To be honest the vast majority of us probably weren't intending to travel to Hull.. I for one am quite happy about this one.

no it's not.

saturday 3pm and wednesday nights were reflective of a society where working hours were consistent.

in modern britain hours and by extension leisure time are much more flexible, meani9ng sport times can be aswell.

please young man, get a bleeding sport textbook. it doesnt even need to be gcse level, and just flick through it.

So are you happy with Sky changing kick-off times so it fits in there schedule? Instead of the fixed schedule given at the start of every season otherwise called as the 'fixture list'

Why not. The clubs accept their money.

These are the games that should be on TV.

450 mile round trip , 8 hours of traveling. It was never going to attract a lot of City fans so I would imagine most are pretty pleased with this.

True,

But if it was any other game slightly closer to Bristol, Would you of been happy swapping it from Saturday afternoon/Evening to a Friday night?

But the point is it isn't. It's a horrible bastard 450+ mile round trip to one of the least desirable parts of the country. These are exactly the games I like being televised.

We've had 2? Games this season that have been televised - hardly a big deal is it considering the home fixture was moved to 5.45pm..

Because people might not be able to go anymore due to work, getting kicked out of a hobby! People enjoy going to watch football, but because of Sky changing kick off times to suit them, some people won't be able to make it

And if you were offered the money they pay you would say no? That's the only reason clubs say yes to it ££££££ if it was out of choice I reckon it would only be a couple of teams such as Man Ure who will see it as an advertising opportunity

It's good to see you have the choice Tom.

You are right though in respect of how little it affects us as Bristol City fans, it's more the wider context of Sky dictating kick offs etc that i think irritates some.

Still won't get a train back from Hull for an evening match - or isn't that modern enough for you?

My point is, say the Derby game got moved to a Monday at 7:45, many people wouldn't be able to go because of work, whereas if it was televised late Saturday it would be okay, Keep Football on a Saturday or Tuesday!

Yeah I agree, but isn't that because they aren't allowed to have it on 3pm on a Saturday more than anything else. I bet if that rule was lifted Sky would have 2-3 games live (in the PL) on Saturday at 3pm and 2 live on a Sunday.

I would be more pissed if they'd moved the Derby game from where is granted as plan to go to that one. I imagine anyone who planned to go to Hull isn't best pleased not least the exiles but it probably would have been one of the smallest away followings of the season anyway.

An extra game for us all to see for free this season and people are moaning.

One needs to accept the changing ways and get on with it. I'm delighted by this announcement. It reminds me of another away game in the North East years ago that was on Sky. That was a great game!

Actually, with massive levels of amateur football participation (many being on saturday) friday and monday games offer the chance for people who dont always get to go.

lets not forget the people who work on weekends in shops up and down the country.

the days where the majority worked mon-fri 9-5 are behind us. lets not leave people out of football because they have other commitments on saturday.

More concerned that we play Bolton at home on the Saturday, Birmingham on the Tuesday then Hull on the Friday.

Would hate playing three games over six days to work against us

Indeed. A couple of injuries and we could be deep in the Blackpool.

I believe football was originally played on a Wednesday afternoon so really, 3pm on a Saturday is a betrayal of it's roots!

We take the money, we have to dance to their tune. Not saying it's a good think but the money we get from Sky every year is not insignificant

I am a Soothsayer and glad I didn't buy those train tickets.

And where will you be at 7:45 on the 19th April ?

I suspect sat in front of the TV watching City

And I also suspect that's an extra City game you get to see this season :)

Hopefully I'll be doing a coaching course, Friday evenings and Saturdays,

I wasn't just speaking for myself but for people who live near Hull and wanted to go on Saturday but because of work commitments can't make it anymore

Also people might have bought train tickets (early bird prices) but because Sky have to change the day of the fixture might not be able to change the date they travel.

Lots saying we'd have only taken 200 anyway?? This game is our third last of the season and has the potential to be make or break. We may have to get a result there to still be in with a chance of staying up, in which case a lot of people may have wanted to travel.

Seeing as though we're getting TV money I think it would be a great idea for the club to subsidize away tickets/travel for this one.

Seriously, why's that? I haven't done club travel since 196x, so I really don't know.
