Does the club have no input on which games are televised? There is no train service to/from Charlton on Sunday 4th but there is on Saturday 3rd. Surely somebody has access to this information? I'd be interested to hear what 'process' is undertaken in selecting and agreeing to games televised by m"rd0ch's repugnant organ.

Do you mean that some staff don't know the train timetables ?? #notpropercharlton
I'd guess that may have been a "gold" game otherwise - be silly to make it so now. So the revenue implications are not straightforward.
Wasnt one Gold Game selected for the TV and remained at the higher ticket price a few years ago?
Millwall, possibly? The club got itself in a bit of a problem in 2013 because it started specifying "gold" games at the start of the season, partly I think because they sell hospitality earlier than tickets and the prices were linked. The problem is that individual fixtures can be overtaken by circumstances, such as TV, and as far as ticket purchasers are concerned there is no benefit to knowing in August that Leeds in December will be premium priced.
I think the revenue benefit of the whole "gold" match thing (which was my experiment in 2012/13, so I'm not deriding the concept) is debatable and hinges on the away end selling out (or nearly) to stack up, but Fulham only brought 1,600 last season anyway. You don't really want to give people an extra excuse not to come when the game's on TV.

Well, in their reply to Leaburn's Daddy's e-mail, they tried to imply that outside factors impact on the games chosen, but clearly disruption in transport to the game isn't one of them.
Please bear in mind, you can still go down the pub and watch it on TV if attendance in person is really impossible. Mind you, you might have to scrap with armchair scousers, as the last 15 minutes will be up against their little local difficulty.
Unbelievable, finally confirmed a weekend free from work and other commitments so i can get to the Valley for the first time this season and its the weekend of the Fulham game.

The first train that got into Sheffield for the 1/4 final was after kick off, so whatever input their have, they just take the money.
Fantastic news for overseas fans like me who only get to see the team play live on TV/internet a couple of times a year. Huge thanks to everyone involved. Truly appreciated.
It should be made a '£10' game, fill the ground so it looks better on TV - that will encourage fans watching the game to come to the Valley... Loads of empty seats will just make people stay away
Pain in the arse with no trains. Be careful what you wish for. (OR did sky base their decision on how overwhelmed we were with the timing of the Sheff Utd game / public transport)

We now have a 12.00 Sunday KO & a 15,000 crowd. Smashing.
The Valley will be like a morgue, with most people half asleep, like I said it would be when games are switched to midday or 5.15 KO's.
Oh & we'll play shite & probably lose
Beyond p****y

Going on holiday Sunday morning and timed it so I wouldn't miss a game because of the international break.
Seriously pissed off
