I noticed on the 'How many will be at the Brentford game' that many season ticket holders cannot make the Friday game because of work, travel problems ect. How many games have you missed because of Sky moving the original day/date? This must impact of the cost you end up paying for each game.Poll to follow.

None I go to all home games irrespective of being on TV. I would only consider not going if I was ill in bed.

1. Wolves on New Years Day. One of the few days of the year that I put Mrs P above football as it's our anniversary.

I guess I'm lucky, but nothing keeps me away from my seat in W1G.

Give me the real match atmosphere any day, a totally different experience to watching on tv.

Missed games, but none of the misses due to SKY.

Where's the option for none (and that's for every season since we moved to the Amex)

I can't go to any non-weekend game without taking a day's holiday, which I will do for you play off games but not ordinarily, so how many is that moved this year? 5? I only really keep my season ticket to guarantee one if we go up. Selling it when I can't go is a faff now so I don't bother.

Not all of us are lucky enough to be retired with plenty of time on our hands.

Dunno forgot about that.....oh well another meaningless poll. Just wanted the poor season ticket holders who live a long way from The Amex who Sky mess up their travel plans have a voice on a thread. Has to be said I would not be happy if I lost several games per season because the date was changed and it effectively put up my average match day ticket by a considerable amount.

Fair point. I guess I'm just very lucky to be able to get to games pretty much whenever they are played, (sky or no sky).

But there are other reasons for date changes like rearranged because of cup matches (one or both teams stil in competition) Weather, University open days, etc.....

I suppose the other side of the coin is I was "lucky" enough to be able to go to Rotherham after work and be home before midnight!

None, but moving games often makes it a royal pain in the **** to get to them including changing work times.

Am I popping at you for not going? I realize it is not always possible but fortunately for the last 30 years I have been in a position to go whenever I wished, home and away, through being self employed. I do not pop a people who do not have that opportunity, just grateful that I have had.
