With Leeds coming early in December does anyone have any idea when Sky will inevitably announce they are moving the game??

Interestingly we have just tried to book a Christmas work party at the Amex on the Friday the night before Leeds game and they are sold out.... this wasn't the case a few days before.

With Sky now doing their Friday night Premier League games, and Derby v Forest already being an early kick-off on the Saturday, there are more imponderables added to the mix regarding the Leeds game being on TV, surely?

Chelsea v West Brom 15:00
Hull v Crystal Palace 15:00

Swansea v Sunderland 15:00
Watford v Everton 15:00

SKY BET CHAMPIONSHIP

I'm not sure you will get a PL on Friday 9th, Champions League week I believe and I don't think sky's Friday night football had Swansea v Sunderland in mind!

I'm still surprised that Brighton v Norwich didn't get moved. They can't change it now can they?

EDIT: 29th October 3pm K.O.

Too late. I believe TV companies have to give at least six weeks notice of which games they want to televise, except towards the end of the season. Remember last season? Our last Saturday 3.00 kick off home game was against Bolton in February. I'm sure SASTA will step in though and f**k things up - they're very good at that sort of thing.

That's true, it's a European week, but the Burnley, Chelsea, Hull, Liverpool & Watford games could still be moved, as well as the Swansea game to the Friday night if required. The Man Utd v Spurs & Southampton V 'boro games are already on the Sunday due to Europa League commitments. The Derby v Forest game could well be televised and Newcastle's game is another possibility. I don't think the Leeds game being on TV is such a given as before.

Two of those will be moved for the Sat TV games - early/late game
I imagine United v Spurs will be the 4 KO on the Sunday

Leeds game is 99% on the Friday night. This is what Leeds fans have been told by their police Liason officer on the way back from Cardiff.
