Was wondering when a non midweek home game of ours would be televised

iaitch

Mate of mine was thinking of coming up from Whitstable with another guy who is a Preston fan.

Not now, bus service part of the journey on Southeastern that day.

personally quite happy with this due to a commitment i can now make on the Saturday. Although i do hate Sunday games.

We'll have another one selected later in the season too

same day tweaking of KO times for TV or other reasons i kind of get (though i think is still wrong).

Changing the day of a game with just 5 weeks notice just shouldn't be allowed imo.

I would question why they chose not to select us for coverage against Millwall the following week but its pretty obvious going by the games they have chosen:

Saturday 9th November: Nottingham Forest v Derby
Sunday 10th November: Cardiff v Bristol City

Blinding can watch it in the pub.
Just leave the away games alone sky

Another three points dropped thanks to Sky.

Feels a bit of a "contractual obligation" game really.

No trains from Preston arrive on time either, Sunday morning is an awful time for train travel

I see it's been made kid a quid to hopefully keep the crowd up somewhat

How difficult is it for the FA | SKY | Train Companies to sit down and organise Football travel tickets

Instead sorting out silly travel you should be able to buy a ticket from your location to the closest station where a game is being held - That ticket is then valid the day of the game being held and can be remain valid if moved for whatever reason; be it: SKY | International Call-Ups | Cup Commitments | Weather reasons

Enough now of the: "Oh well its the risk you take" attitude from these people!!

How difficult is it for sky to announce 12 weeks before.

Crystal Palace v Leicester City | Everton v Tottenham

Thanks. If a big match on, hard to get my local to show Champ game.

3 fairly average games on Sunday, with Norwich vs Watford on the Monday! 

One small consolation is that the Rugby WC final is on the Saturday at 9am, so now we can concentrate on that if England get through...

Pain in the backside as clashes with the boys Sunday football - later kick off might have been ok.

Not sûre. They will bill it using Bauer and his winning goal.
