Does know if our overlords at Sky have announced the tv games yet? Looking to book Sheffield train tickets but holding off until they let us know when the game is, that announce all games when the fixtures came out seems to have been forgotten
I know we were all warned about this, but this is shocking, first three home games of the season 12:30 kick offs. I meet my cousins for every game, it's the only time we see each other. The time in the pub beforehand is an integral part of the day. I'm sure it's the same for a lot of us. I can deal with the odd one, but every week? It actually changes the experience of football for thousands of people every Saturday. Who agreed to this, was it really worth the extra cash when you take into account reduced away fans etc? Who wants to watch QPR Millwall on Sky Sports + at 12.30 on a Saturday? Fckng Sky

Sky are not the problem, blame the EFL for allowing them to do this and the clubs for agreeing to it.
12.30 kick offs home or away are bloody horrible for everyone. If not 3pm then much prefer 5pm or 8pm. Even watching on TV at 12.30 is sh1t: Sky’s viewing figures are going to be minimal but I’m sure they’re not bothered about that.

It's bollox. I'm literally gonna have 8am starts for every home game up to October atm

Totally agree. Everything set up for the armchair viewer (although agree who watches stuff at 1230 on a Saturday) and sod the matchgoers. How were those empty Covid stands for you, Sky?

Sky are the problem because they're the ones asking for it and offering the clubs the money. I blame them all but Sky are the ones pushing all the kick off times to try and saturate the market. I imagine the ultimate goal is to fck everyone around so much the 3pm Saturday kick off is generally so eroded that they're allowed to show live games then too

The only advantage of a 12.30pm home game is I get home in time for tea, instead of a healthy option out and about such as a Pukka Pie, a McDonald's or consummate amounts of peanuts.
My stomach will be grateful at least.
We will have more 12.30pm kick offs than 3pm as saw the minimum number of televised games we will be on is 24 times.
I reckon with ourselves it could be approx 32 games in the league !!!
It's the start of a mad mad world !!!
Cue something happening tomorrow here and November in the United States.
Hang on, am I being thick here, but weren't we promised the kick off times, dates etc up to January? This is only August and September
There are still 16 games to change because we will be on a minimum of 20 games. Split 50/50 it’s another 8 games to rearrange. I’m a season ticket holder but also a shift worker and do work a number of weekends,I have put in leave until the end of season for games but was expecting the to games to be announced when the fixtures came out. It’s very frustrating.

I'd be quite happy with that. Let sky stream every 3pm kick off so the fat cnts at home can eat and drink their way to an early grave in their armchair, and those of us who actually go to games can do so without the stress of waiting to book trains/hotels etc
