Good Old Sussex by the Sky,
Good Old Sussex by the Sky

Or even a new Sky channel called Albion.

What's happened to the traditional Saturday afternoon KO, it's getting bloody ridiculous, Sky being allowed to call the shots :rant:

Feel better now!

Will be the sixteenth Albion match to be televised live by Sky this season (which, in terms of regular league season games, is two more than the first 4 seasons at the Amex combined).

Assuming on sky = success:-

How many times have palace been televised, this season?

Doubt the additional effort/expense will stop most people for a potentially defining game. Other than those who simply cannot go.

Beware I think you cannot watch a match from your room. Blinds are lowered. Better check with Hotel before booking.

Awaits Barber's long winded justification of how moving this game is a good thing.

Why? He doesn't even have any control over which home games are rescheduled for the telly.

hopkins · Mar 15, 2017

Works well for me as I'm an armchair fan, ****in idiots who booked well ahead, the game was always gonna be on sky :clap2:

I took a chance and booked this months ago with the pitch view - I pushed the boat out a bit £108. Then I got a nice email informing me that Norwich City were installing a screen in that corner but it now seems that I will get to have a view as the screen doesn't impact that much on the view of the ground. That said it was never my intention of not actually getting a ticket, I was just looking forward to watching preprations for the game

Herne Hill Seagull · Mar 15, 2017

Sixteen times? Sixteen? With more to come, in all likelihood?

On Jan 16th Paul Barber said, on the Albion website:

"It's easy to believe that TV companies - and clubs - don't consider fans when fixtures are changed. This simply isn't the case."

Where is the evidence, any evidence whatsoever, that this is true? What consideration have we received this season? Or Leeds? Or Newcastle, to speak only of clubs in our division?

He also said; "For me, a balance remains vital. ... Football simply wouldn't be the same without supporters at the game - and we mustn't ever forget this."

I have no doubt we'll fill these allocations, but I can't now go to Norwich. Constant Friday night games have made it more difficult to get to games than it's been at any point in my 32 years of season-ticket ownership, at the very point when it's most exciting, most enjoyable going to them. I can't be alone in this position, and frankly I'm sick of it. Yes, I recognise that the success has been concomitant with the TV coverage, the one in part enables the other, but what effing good is that to me if I can't see that success to enjoy it? I've said it on here before, and I'll say it again - it's not now the club's got to worry about. In the event the club drops back down the divisions, even if we have dipped our toes in the Premier League gravy lake, those who are only interested when it's all WWWDW won't be there then, and nor will some of the old-timers that have been alienated, at a time when the club really does need to care about them.

Sky won't give a flying toss about us then, so who will the club look to, to fill the coffers previously so copiously stuffed by telly? The very people they've been pissing off on the way up.

And breathe...

What does "watching preparations for the game" involve ?
