Sky TV fixtures announcement

[GwladysBlue]

I don't want a Friday night game to start the season. Nothing beats a Saturday game.

Friday's are for going out after work and getting bladdered.

 

[Jph24]

Either Saturday early or Sunday early, can't see the police allowing it to be anything else.

May depend on their Europa League participation like, haven't checked that though.

Not in europe mate, early sat/sun anyway

Would love the Friday first game.

Off on jollies next day and going to miss first two homes

 

[mmmmsnouts]

Don't want the Friday night opener because that makes it a Friday afternoon opener here and I have to work.

Really looking forward to a Friday game, if its early in the season, playing before everyone else, win and we go top!

 

[barneygumble]

The games to be on for sure are Liverpool vs arsenal and Leicester(champions). You would think they would prefer to have pep and Mourinhos first games on instead of a better match in Everton vs spurs.

Well with the extra game...

I could see it being just the four 3pm KO to be honest.

Everton vs. Spurs could easily be tie of the weekend for me (not could, should on paper), can't see sky or BT not scoffing at it!

That was down to an EDL Rally protest I think, so Midlands police suggested moving it to the day earlier.

It was a test, to check out viewing figures and see the possibility of it working to have games for Friday night.

Not sure you're trying to disagree with me, or saying that they just claimed that for a reason to test viewing figures.

Either way....

Aye, remember them saying it will test viewing figures, but the real reason would be lack of police on the Saturday. Ten games this season on a Friday night.

 

[john jako]

I remember that united Villa game. It was crap. Really crap.

 

[James Patrick]

Sky will be announcing the first set of TV fixtures tomorrow morning.

We may sneak the first game in against spurs but doubtful after that looking at some of our games.

WBA was moved to a Monday early doors last season IIRC ?

 

[nikom court]

they always but mid table teams not in Europe on Monday night,early doors.
Chelsea away is possible!

 

[ToffeeDan]

Would think Friday prior to European club football a distinct possibility.

 

[bluestevon]

Anyone have a clue up to what dates they are deciding on the televised games for?

I agree with this comment, but don't agree with them doing it.
