Man City 8.15pm kick off?

[Foulthrow]

Am I right in thinking that the game against City is 8.15pm kick off? Anyone know why they have picked this weird time?

[taio]

Yes. Scheduled for Amazon Prime.

Anyone know why they have picked this weird time?

gives our lot an opportunity to wake up

[Devils_Advocate]

Cos they are showing every game it means that the 7.30pm kick offs have a full half before the later match starts.

Means someone could watch a 1st half then a full match or a full match then a second half.

Also whilst its half time in our match fans can flick and watch the closing stages of one of the early matches.

Obviously more aimed at the neutral tv watching fans than those who are only interested in their specific match

So Burnley fans can get really ****** and fall out with each other?

With the division of coverage split between Sky, BT and now Amazon(are there any others?) how much do the clubs get from The telly companies? How many games are covered by Amazon this season? Do Amazon pay any more than the others for the rights?
Sorry I’ve not followed this until now, oh and how can pubs and clubs screen the games - confused of Burnley !!!

I was coming over for this, as I missed them last year for a wedding. Can’t get after match travel to fall into place with that ko time so will miss again.
