TV Fixtures

[Bordeauxclaret]

Is it right that Man City, Spurs, West ham & Palace are all playing Sunday and then Tuesday at the start of December for TV ?

I think that’s one of the round of fixtures Amazon has so half will be on the Tues and half on the Weds.

Yes, I went to that. I lived in Lytham then. Blackpool won 4-2.
Exactly a week later was my first visit to Ewood. We won 2-0.

That's interesting that you went to the last ever Christmas Day fixture between Blackpool and Blackburn because I also went to it. Five of us, dad, uncle, brother and cousin were with me. Think the original game had been abandoned earlier in December.
Football was a lot more affordable then because the same five of us went to Stoke the following day where having gone 0-1 up we lost 3-1. As you say Blackburn away on New Year's Day and we won 0-2 and that was the day a young Ralph Coates sat on the ball with both sides down to 10 men.

I know a bloke who got the 2nd goal on NYD

I bet you do.
Willie and 'Bomber' Harris with the goals. What a goalscorer he was and idolised by fans at the time. An absolute crying shame what happened to him at Goodison Park. I,I, Irvine, Irvine,I.

That makes sense, it being Amazon. I forgot they showed some games. I presumed it was Sky or BT as it said Man Utd Chelsea had been picked for the Wednesday.

Does anyone know why the live games this Sunday are at 1pm and 3:30pm rather than two and half four?

Clocks change this weekend, they'll be the BST times.

Edit: or maybe not... Seems a bit weird, but it'll be something to do with the clocks changing.

Both clubs requested it, probably thinking the hour will make a difference to the idiot element at both clubs

That was my first thought but then saw the others still scheduled for 2pm.

"Early this week" they said, didnt they?

[Granny WeatherWax]

Burnley have just announced Wolves ticket details as Tuesday 5th Dec, have TV games been confirmed?

think everything upto and including 6th December have been finalised so far

[Granny WeatherWax]

was just the first weekend in December they announced.

[Bordeauxclaret]

With Burnley and Wolves playing on the Saturday and the amount of teams playing on the Sunday it’s safe to say ours will be on the Tuesday.

I know him too

Rest of December and some of January this week

Ah ok, so we will know wolves date before tickets go on sale.

Is what I'm being told but it was all held up last week because of one game so anything can happen I suppose.

Looks very much as though Wolves v Chelsea is going to be 1 p.m. on Christmas Eve.

Playing on Christmas Eve pretty much sums up everything that’s wrong about the Premier League.
The supporters are inconsequential to Sky and the clubs.
These Saturday night 8pm kick offs are almost as bad.

Christmas Eve really is just as bad as it can get

Almost….there’s the day after though. And I would not put this beyond the powers that be.

Hard to believe now that it used to be a football day until the late 1950s (1957 our last Christmas Day game I think).

[ClaretTony]

No announcement of TV picks today - tomorrow looks favourable.

[burnmark]

I’m hoping Everton at home doesn’t get moved to the Friday night as I have a gig in Manchester that evening. Got a feeling it might do though.

Hopefully we know before Monday then as if not I can’t buy them as I can’t make the Wednesday.

Expected tomorrow but then again we get so many delays. I’ve no advance info this time either on our games.

[burnmark]

Not seen this confirmed but I’ve just read it on twitter…

The above is from Luton’s official site

[burnmark]

Ignore the above. Hadn’t realised they’d been announced!

Bolton now having to travel to Portsmouth on a Monday night for the Sky cameras.
