March/April televised games?

[JohnDearyMe]

Apologies if it has already been discussed but does anyone know when the televised games for March and April are likely to be announced?

I'm looking to sort out train tickets to a few games

It seems to be about two months in advance usually. Got a feeling the March games will be announced pretty soon. Unfortunately the April games probably won't be announced for another month. I'm in same boat am hoping to get something booked for Palace at the end of the April. By the time they announce the TV games it's difficult to get the cheapest train tickets.

[JohnDearyMe]

Yeah i know what you mean. Can be pretty frustrating when it comes to planning weekends away when you can't get the cheaper advance tickets

Possibly this week or next I would think for March selection. No confirmed date as yet from Premier League.

We got burnt last season booked our trains to Brentford then Sky moved it to Friday night! Won't make that mistake again. Yeah very frustrating, a pity that the fans who actually attend matches are right at the bottom of the list of people considered.

I know, just what are Sky playing at pumping our club full of cash since May 2009 and then expecting us to change the date of a fixture without checking the timetable for the trains. You'd think they'd give us a least a months notice, oh hang on a minute...

Unfortunately due to how many train companies operate the majority (if not all) of the cheapest tickets sellout more than a month in advance to a journey around a weekend meaning it can be pretty expensive for fans to travel, even with a month's notice.

I don't disagree, but if you dance with the devil and all that. The prudence of our board the fact they got lucky when an application form from Sean Mark Dyche landed on the doormat, but mainly Sky and the millions and millions Sky have thrown at us is the reason we have this travel issue. It ain't going to change anytime soon and nor should it.

[JohnDearyMe]

I get your point. It would just be helpful to fans who do need to book their travel in advance if it was clear when the announcements for televised games were going to be made throughout the course of the season

Totally agree with that. Definitely not unreasonable to expect them dates to be released.

I saw the other day the football league games for March are being announced tomorrow so would expect Premier League to be tomorrow or Friday at the latest.
