I don't doubt they will have one if we get promoted. They might well have one if we don't.

Irony is, we may have more saturday kickoffs IF we go up. Whilst I'm sure Sky will still like us, they will have many more favourites to show keeping us off the tv every week.
This, is a great post.
(Do I get double #licker points for supporting the 'boss' on a post supporting the club?)
I wouldn't be sure they'll all be Saturdays, but they'll definitely be less evening games. There are a lot of Prem games every Sunday.

This season there have been 3 midweek sets of fixtures scheduled for the PL, against god knows how many we have this season
Indeed. The 'four less home matches' that some are hung up on, are effectively ALL midweek rounds of fixtures.

I was looking at Bournemouth results, yes lots of sat and sun games, suits me. Only a few mid-weekers.
I've missed far more home games this season than usual, simply because our good run has meant more midweek fixtures due to Sky moving the dates. I reckon that I'll see more home games next season if (IF) we're promoted, notwithstanding the fact that there would be four fewer games.
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the newly promoted clubs HAVE to be shown live a couple of time in the first 5 or 6 weeks of the PL.
They would be, but remember that there are no fewer than FOUR Sky / BT live slots on each round of fixtures, that ARE on the Saturday or Sunday, sometimes five.
Saturday 12.30pm and 17.30pm
Sunday two matches, sometimes three, back-to-back.
Just need to cross fingers that we avoid the abomination that is Monday Night Football.

Plus there are 10 Friday night slots they can use too, I think there have been 3 used so far this season

I have missed loads, even on the Saturday, starting so early I feel absolutely shattered by 11am. I will keep the season ticket going.

'Disgusting comments'! You must be very isolated from the real world if you consider comments like that as disgusting.

To be honest I probably agree with pretty much most of what you have put. The price rise doesn't affect me because I am lucky enough to afford it. I don't make decisions on buying a season on the price of a ticket, nor do I do that when I consider which away games to go to. As regards TB, I'm quite comfortable that, assuming promotion, next season he can start to recoup some of his investment or, at the very least, be in a position where he doesn't have to sub the club £20m a season!
My comments were more about how much extra revenue the increase will actually raise when compared to the massive increase of tv income from about £3.6m to possibly over £100m. I did describe them as penny pinching but in view of the tizz that Awayday has got himself into regarding them I suppose I should withdraw them before he does himself a mischief!!! What irks more though is what I would describe as spin. I would rather the club come and say that prices are going up and whilst it could be in the order of 24% per game if we go up, the club will have additional costs because of promotion, eg floodlights, GLT, policing etc etc. What's wrong with being honest?

I'm with you on this. It is irritating but it seems we are in a minority on here in being bothered about it.
In an ideal world then ticket prices per game (ST and extra sales) could have been frozen in the event of our promotion to the PL. Lots of reasons why they haven't been - some good, some not so good.
I've only skimmed through the thread but there seems to be others who, like me, didn't think the 2-5% increase unreasonable. But then the penny dropped!
If we DO get promoted we are paying the price hike for FOUR fewer games AND we will have games early and late on Saturdays and on Sunday afternoons and on Monday evenings. Given the shambolic state of the transport infrastructure (P&R but more particularly the trains) getting to and from those games is going to be even more of a nightmare.
If we dont get promoted, how can Barber justify a price hike well above the rate of inflation for the same product/service?
Doubtless there will be some on here who are getting 5%+ pay increases each year....but there will be many more I suspect who will be getting nothing like.

Personally, £495 for next season compared to £475 for this season travel included, watching the team I love in a fabulous stadium is barely worth worrying about. I renewed this morning. Thank you TB, very much indeed, a chairman the envy of all.
