Gutted! I live in Brighton and am a West Ham fan so was going to go with some Brighton mates but I have work Monday and it's not like I can pull a sickie as I work on for Brighton railway so they would spot me. Loads of fans had booked hotels on the Friday and Saturday so a lot of people will not be happy!.

and.....?

f*** sky!

Ok, have to agree with you there.

 

[Don Quixote]

Well I can't go now...

 

[Stu1]

This is starting to piss me off, first flymaybe stop Leeds to Gatwick flights then all the games I can go to on a Saturday get moved, I thought this season might be better but it appears away games are still going to provide my main Albion fix, my friends are so lucky to have me dishing out my season ticket every week.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Oh! Some fans lack forward planning...Banned during the footy season are...Holidays...Birthdays...Weddings...Funerals...Wedding Anniversaries...will attend if Albion not playing or in between seasons.....Lol!

From a very selfish point of view, this is GREAT news.

My West Ham Supporting friend has his heart set on getting us tickets however the 22nd clashed with my girlfriends birthday plans for me... this has saved an awkward and probably anger inducing conversation with him.

See i wouldn't mind seeing if the police had something to do with it asked it to.be moved to a Monday as sky see another pay day.

Doesn't quite make sense but I assume you're suggesting this is somehow down to the police. Which you'd be wrong about.

This will be WHU's fourth live game this season, by the way, in case you were feeling hard done by.

If the fixtures are known in June, why does it take Sky until late September to make this decision?

As can be seen from many posts, a lot of people (including West Ham fans) made plans around it being a Saturday fixture, that have now been scuppered. Living in Bristol, I book advance train tickets to get them as cheap as possible. The downside is that they are non-refundable, so this decision has cost me £25 and, if I still want to attend the game, a day and a half annual leave.

The decision to put back the kick off on the Hull game, has also cost me, as I've had to book a later train to get home.

So, as you can gather, I'm not best pleased, but my real complaint is that if I and others have to plan in advance to get to games (around work, families, holidays, etc), why the hell can't Sky, the Football League and the clubs (and the police?) do it and then stick to it?!

If you can still go to the game or can now go, when previously you couldn't, good luck to you and enjoy it. And I'm pleased that the club is getting this kind of media attention and the money that comes with it. I just wish I could be there more often to enjoy it!!

I imagine Sky only choose some games at the last minute as it allows them to go on current form etc. I don't think they would put us on again so soon were we not doing well.

Why would i be feeling hard done by? This game was never going to be a 3pm Saturday kick off.

This along with all the other fixture changes is bad news for me personally as midweek games are a bit of a logistical nightmare working in London and living in Ashford. Further complicated by my CFS which means only getting five hours sleep by the time I get home will screw me for the rest of the week.
I hope the club are working on this ticket exchange otherwise the few Saturday games I can make are going to work out very expensive.

Many are fuming on the West Ham board.

Not very happy campers are they. With fair reason as well.

f*** this. In actually going to have to quit my job and just go to Brighton games until the money runs out. Living in Enfield and working in London makes things hard enough. If it's not on a weekend it's near impossible for me to go.

 

[pasty]

RESULT

Wasn't going to be able to make it on the Saturday due to a long planned family shindig, and now I can.

*with profuse apologies to the person who I said could have my ST*

 

[B.W.]

It means more money for our club, so a good thing IMHO...

 

[Badger]

For once I'm pleased with something Sky have done, this was the first game I would have missed but now I can go to London on the Saturday and make the football

 

[Bold Seagull]

Hilarious how many on these boards slate the Premiership because of it's corporate greed etc etc and yet are delighted that yet another of our fixtures is moved for Sky. That will mean we have no 3pm KO from 27 Aug through to Nov 6th.

This is what Sky do to football, it doesn't matter whether you've planned something because the fixture list said it was a Saturday, or your kids can't go because it's a school night, they just f*ck actual fans over.

I couldn't a sh*t a few of you are happy because you can suddenly go because you couldn't before, we may as well sell the f*ck out now and be done with it. Anyone commenting on this thread happy with this, then giving it the big anti-premiership on another is a complete hypocrite.

I can still go on the Monday, but it is really p*ssing me off already that Sky can do this with less than 4 weeks notice. Arseholes.

Love it!!!!!!! Makes up for no ST.
