Spurs away

Any news on whether it’s been moved yet? Expected something announcing yesterday or today?

Andy - Can't find anything showing which games that weekend have been selected for TV.

Due to be selected last Friday. Disappointing.

As Spurs are in Europe on the Wednesday following, surely it will stay on the Saturday... ?????

Last month when they were late I tweeted the premier league tagging sky sports and BT sports in.

They were released within 20 minutes. Obviously could of been coincidence but worth a go.

I wouldn’t be relying on the fact Spurs are playing in Europe on Wednesday either.
Liverpool for example play United this Sunday afternoon and then are in European action on Wednesday.

No reason they couldn't play Sunday/Wednesday. It appears after being on time with the first few announcements it's back to being late again. Obviously the fans who actually travel to games and need to book trains etc are fairly low down the list of priorities for the Premier league and BT/SKY.

It was definitely a coincidence.

Spurs are at home to us 7th Dec then have the CL game Wednesday the 11th ... then they are away to Wolves the following Saturday the 14th...

I would suggest the PL and Sky might look at the Wolves away as a bigger priority to move and televise than the "Little old Burnley" at Spurs on the Saturday ...

But the PL and Sky are not always known for doing the logical are they

usually they make it as awkward for fans as possible

If you want to talk awkward, then the worst of the lot is BT Sport

Whichever tomorrow quickenthetempo tweets em I reckon.

Does it also revolve around the midweek fixtures in that week because they are all being shown by Amazon on the Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday?

Oh well yet another delay! Rumour doing the rounds that Leicester v Liverpool is gonna be played at 8pm on Boxing Day, don't think I'd fancy that ko time.

MEN now saying they will be out at noon. But that may change.

I suspect the delays might have been caused by games being shuffled around for Amazon Prime but this delay is unacceptable.

jrgbfc · Post by **jrgbfc** » Thu Oct 17, 2019 12:26 pm

Well the 12 o clock deadline has come and gone, absolute joke. Shows how far down the list of priorities the fans who actually go to games are. It's almost as if the TV companies start thinking about what games they want to show about an hour before they're due to announce them.

From the BBC "Live" feed
Supporters clubs comments released by the FSF, including one from us

Premier League Xmas fixtures
We're expecting confirmation of changes to Premier League fixtures over Christmas period later today or tomorrow.

Some will be moved to accommodate TV deals.

Fans not happy
Premier League Christmas fixtures

The Football Supporters Federation has released a series of statements from a number of Premier League supporters' clubs, regarding the potential fixture changes around the festive period.

Tottenham Hotspur Supporters’ Trust “As is common in the modern game, it’s not just the away fixtures that concern Spurs fans. Our home game against Chelsea on the weekend before Christmas is causing the most anxiety, with many fans not living locally to Tottenham and eager to finalise both their transport to the game and their subsequent Christmas plans.

“The Christmas and New Year set of picks is the most important of the lot to fans, who also have lives outside of football, and the disregard shown by not only running almost a week late but by the radio silence from the Premier League is astonishing, even in this day and age.”

Chris Johnson - Burnley Supporters’ Trust: “The attitude of Sky towards supporters is totally deplorable . Neither do they respect or wish to understand the needs of the supporters. It is simply a case of put up with it and if you do not like it tough!”

Boxing Day games will all be spread out around 4 kick off times, 12:30pm, 3pm, 5:30pm and 8pm for all of them to be shown on Amazon

Only possible so far is Leicester v Liverpool at 8pm

Promised announcement at 4pm now. Also noticed that Amazon do a months free trial, so anyone signing up in December would be able to see our games against City at home and Everton away on Boxing day.

Any advance on 4 pm? I'll go for the 33rd of Julember...

We might have actually left the EU before they announce these fixtures.

Ryanair have moved the flight times of my flights in December so waiting for these to come out before i try and use that as an excuse to change flights if we end up as monday night football v Newcastle haha

I've said that kind of thing before, and lost a fortune on train tickets.

Imagine there may be some disappointed people booking trains now without confirmation they have a ticket.

Can see this selling out within a couple of days.

Depends, if we take the full allocation of 3 thousand I reckon pretty much everyone who wants one will get one.

Spuds match away at Wolves has been moved to 2pm on Sunday 15th December as Wolves are also playing in Europe in the Europa League that week (I think at home to Besiktas) ... The Burnley away game on the 7th was never likely to move....

With the way the televised TV games have gone I’m relieved and surprised that this game wasn’t picked to be played at 72 minutes past the 37th hour of the 32nd day of the 14th month on the 3rd closest moon to Jupiter out of Saturn’s moons.

72 minuets would probably drive you crazy.
