Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Could well go to added on time at Villa, or beyond.

I just thought I would throw this into the mix - since the start of the season we have only played SIX Saturday home league matches that have kicked off at 3.00pm. What are the chances that Blackburn and Bristol City (in particular) kick off times will be changed?
Oh, and we've had FIVE Friday night home matches to contend with as well. The price of success I suppose.

Bristol City HIGH chance.

I'm also on a plane, landing in Stansted at 6.30pm. I was planning to then stay with my mum in Cambridge, and saunter over there on Saturday.
Now, I've got to hope it's on Five Live.

Blackburn fixed at 3pm Saturday. Bristol City highly unlikely. Sky has to give 5 weeks' notice.

As I have said previously, yes it's an inconvenience to some travelling fans. But I want the ability for tens of thousands of our fans to be able to see every one of our games and tv coverage offers that opportunity. Anyone who thinks otherwise is pretty selfish in my opinion.
TV companies will never think of the fans only their subscriber numbers and advertising revenue.
All football clubs have signed into the contract for the cash and they are as complicit as SKY,BT etc in putting the fans down the list of priorities re kick off movements.
But without TV, we wouldn't have the millions from them and the likes of American Express and the other advertisers to afford a team that is among the best in the division!

I think the time has come where there should be a CAP on the number of times a club can have its fixtures altered by Sky.16+ times is absolutely ridiculous, and totally unfair on the fans. Well over a THIRD of our season has been pissed about with, invariably losing our Saturday 3pm's to cuffing Fridays or Mondays. Its a pile of shit.
Obviously money talks though. Sky own football now and can do whatever they want with it, so we just have to bend over and take it up the council.

Silly old bat
I consider myself patted on the head.
I wonder what the additional cost incurred by fans across the season is as a result? And by this I mean, not being able to book advance trains so price goes up; having to change trains already booked; overnight stays etc etc. And that's just away games - if you've got a season ticket but can't do Fridays you've taken a hit as well.

Has anyone got any inside scoop as to when to expect (Norwich) tickets to be released?

I think Bristol City is very likely to be moved. Five weeks is next week and I imagine they will announce that Huddersfied, Newcastle and Albion are all being shown live as it is bank holiday weekend (think that is what they did last year with Boro moving to Friday and us and Burnley both playing Monday). I am really hoping with QPR, Wolves and Norwich all being show on Sky in the three preceding Fridays, that if it's moved it will be to another time on Saturday or on Sunday/Monday instead of Friday

I'd say 1845 was unlikely
Think Sky can only have 2 more games they can show that weekend now (as they've just announced match No 88 out of their 92 match deal Newcastle v Preston) and they'll show 2 games on the last Sunday at the same time.
Suspect it's very likely those two games will be Albion v Bristol City and Cardiff vs Newcastle. Hopefully we stay on the Saturday.

Agreed. I've booked into the Premier Inn by the station for £61. Optional all you can eat breakfast is £8.99. Train booked (although pain the a*se return on the Saturday via Cambridge) for £13.80 each way. This is for Liverpool Street/Norwich so doesn't include getting up to London in the first place.
