From today, Clubs and fans have up to four months’ notice of matches that have been moved in order to be broadcast. This continues the EFL's commitment, ensuring fans will be able to plan with more certainty when making travel and hotel arrangements.

Sky Bet EFL fixtures are broadcast via either an existing Sky Sports channel or Sky Sports+, integrated into Sky TV and the Sky Sports mobile app. Sky Sports+ is available at no extra cost for subscribers of the full Sky Sports package. All televised fixtures will also be available on streaming service NOW.

Selections for matches scheduled from the first weekend in March will be made on a four-week rolling basis starting from the first week of February (for example: a selection for the first weekend in April will be selected from the first weekend in March).

I am not a big fan of games played early or later for TV, i can see a huge drop in attendances.
Only 17000 were there Saturday that was counting all ST Holders many were not there but included in count.
Teams have sold there soul for TV money.
When fans start missing lots of games because of kickoffs changed for TV they wont come back, as they will find something else to spend money on.

:banghead:

You seem a little frustrated by these changes from our TV rulers.

I assume that means a 3am viewing time for you?

Could be a lot worse, some teams have been shafted with early Sunday games.

We haven't done that badly out of it this time. Swansea and Bristol games were always going to be moved.

Yes not to bad Ned,

Not affected me thankfully as the days have not changed.


We should easily sell 1,700 tickets for Plymouth away at 12:30pm.
Watch some make the time an excuse.
Plymouth Sold 3,500 when they came to us for 12:30pm.

12.30 is 4.30 am for me but I usually get up around 4 am so I'm in place with a cuppa & half-awake before the game kicks off. I also can't be 7.00 am kick off loud if we score.

Wanted a decent drink before the Argyle game, that won't be happening now with a lunch time ko.

If I get train it's up at 5.30am car it's 6.30 ... hate these 12.30 ko

I wish they would fcuk off with all these 12:30 kick offs I have to work until 2pm every Saturday

I won’t be renewing my season tickets next season no point in wasting £500 when I’m missing most of the games with these early kickoffs
