Wasn't that Bournemouth away one moved late on as well a few years back for Sky as they were getting promotion? No-one was arsed like as we were a zombie of a club at the time.

It does stink this, and we were never going to object to it either.

Said it before though, this is probably going to be our last ever season that looks anything like traditional (and it'll still be a mess once international postponements are rescheduled) sounds like a Saturday 3pm will be a novelty.

I think Sky can move games without consulting clubs up to a certain time cut-off point.

After the cut-off point, the games can still be moved if both clubs agree. 

The money Pompey will get will more than outweigh a small drop in ticket sales and the small amount of money we get from Sky is more than the zero pounds you normally get from an away game.

Money 1 Fans 0, as per fucking usual.

Thinking back 

When Leeds were last in the championship before now, they were regularly on sky 

Their owner got pissed off as whilst they got compo he claimed it was less than what they lost in gate receipts 

Told them to stop showing them 

Sky didn't give a fuck

Yes, I planned my stag do around Easter Saturday in London - got shifted to good Friday to help them in their relegation fight (fixture backlog and were playing Monday).

Aye will only get worse with the new deal next season, noticed Blackburn have had Watford & Norwich away Sunday lunch times wtf

think it will be a case of really picking & choosing away games and not being that weak man giving in😀

i think we only get 10k for being on?

but i do agree, that late change outside the rules is cack

if it was after you bought tickets but within the deadlines, id say suck it up

Yeah 10k fuck all but taking a slight hit for me is more important than pissing folk off, anyway rant over 

I can't for the life of me see any benefit in us agreeing to the switch.

If it's purely for £10k or whatever, then they can fuck off.

As much as I’m pissed off about the switch (still not swapped trains yet), I think it needs to be viewed in the context of the overall TV money received rather than the specific £10k for this game

See the point. I suppose budgets will be drawn up taking into consideration the overall sky payments, so to an extent, they've got clubs by the short and curlies.

I'm not entirely sure about this.

Isn't this an 'extra' TV appearance, thrown in by Sky at short (ie past the deadline) notice, meaning we could have turned it down?

Dunno. Was just responding to Matt.

 

The issue isn’t sky

its what’s the point of issuing dates for changes and not sticking by them 

Let’s go and beat em.

Unbeaten in the league Pompey, what a message that would send out to the rest of the league.

As part of the (sizeable) distribution at the start of the season, we basically accept that Sky might want to show us once in a while so got to live with it having taken the money.

The fact it was moved outside of the EFL’s rules is another matter altogether and I’m disappointed in the club not kicking up a shit storm. 

only interested in money,  ticket price reduction would be fairest , but never going to happen, well done bolton.

They have 3 league games before they play us, and looking at their results, they must be due a defeat? A load of 1 goal wins and late winners, which is impressive, but this isn't a team blowing their opponents away.  Also same as us, only played 7 away out of 16.  3 goalless draws, two 1-0  wins, and were 2 down at Reading.  I'll stick my neck out and say they won't be unbeaten after they've played us!

Agree; somehow I think Blackpool will do them Saturday 

I remember last season Sheff Weds having some long run without a loss, it was actually a draw at their place against us before Wembley that started a near downfall to their season.

The longer a run without a loss goes, the closer it gets to ending.

I'm less of a nervous feeling about this and the Oxford games and more like, let's fucking go for it.
