We're on Sky again.. Burnley home

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

The Leeds chairman called it spot on. You can only piss the loyal punters off SO far.in pursuit of telly money before you're playing to an empty ground.

I was just about to ask about this - have Sky announced any games for this weekend? I really don't want this moved.

Not yet

[Easy 10]

Do we have any Saturday 3pm Kick offs left this season?

Only Derby

(at the moment)

One. Which is against Derby, which means we'll probably get royally DICKED with that one too.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Don't the club get a 100 big ones out of this? That's scarcely rolling over

And what do the fans with pre-made/pre-paid plans get?

Don't get this. The club gets money from, what, 22k season ticket holders and that's before anyone else.

If fans don't like it, the ONLY way to put a stop to it is boycott Sky - that really would have an effect. But playing to half empty grounds will make no difference

A demi - FFS from me! Three friends of mine are going, and I've bought the tickets on the STRICT understanding that it had to be a Saturday kick-off, so not a complete disaster then. I am, however, getting mightily p***ed off with the number of Albion matches that have been rescheduled from the original fixture list. I reckon we are well into double figures now . . . . and we're not even in the Premier League - yet!

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Pathetic really, the way the club just has to roll over and all 25K STH and visiting fans and and anybody with pre-booked travel plans just have to suck it up. Moral of the story seems to be to ditch any kind of forward planning and just buy single match tickets at the last moment when the game can't be moved. Can't think of any other single business sector other than the privatised railways that would dare treat its paying punters with such a level of disdain.

SASTA ... Seagulls are sorry to announce ...? Sky are sorry to announce ...?

For f*ck sake!!!!

I would like to add my own FFS to this thread.

And have lost the £100K from the Reading game. Unfortunately tv rules now, the fans don't matter.

Sorry, but the most direct route IMHO would be to boycott the club and #bemoreleeds. Seems to me the post-SKY future will be pay per view live feeds, with money going directly to the club via a souped-up Seagulls Player. not rocket science, and a damn sight fairer to existing fans.

And no end of season disco, oh the price of being a good team these days

 

[Bozza]

Yeah @mrblobby thought that might be the case. The day was designated a "family day" so they could only play with the KO time as opposed to the date.

That will have nothing to do with it. If Sky wanted it to be Friday night it would have been.

 

[Notters]

As the Reading game is no longer on telly, do we lose out on that sky dosh? Doesn't seem fair.

 

[Gwylan]

Wouldn't make a difference: club pockets season ticket money anyway - it loses out a bit on catering but the club only gets a small amount of that. And I wouldn't have thought many from Burnley would be that affected, most would have guessed it was going to be moved and probably made a weekend of it

 

[Icy Gull]

Really wish it was Leeds on Sky all the time instead of us.

Yeah, well maybe the club shouldn't take that season ticket money so much for granted.

Birmingham v Boro looks a more likely TV game than ours.
