Charlton v Accrington now on Sky Friday 8th January

Comments

  • Charlton’s home fixture against Accrington Stanley has been moved to Friday, January 8th (7.45pm) as it has been selected to be televised by Sky Sports.

    The Sky Bet League One clash was originally scheduled for Saturday, January 9th, but will now take place a day earlier with an evening kick-off.

    Due to broadcast regulations, the game will not be available to view on Valley Pass Live in the UK and Ireland or any country which has a broadcast deal in place.


    "However, because of EFL regulations, the club will be allowed to give access to Valley Pass Live to season-ticket holders using CAFC Cash."
  • What a game that is for the neutrals. Friday night, pubs and restaurants probably closed due to lockdown and the most depressing time of year  - but have no fear, Charlton V Accrington will ease the 2021 blues. 
    Ever thought about a career in the Samaritans
  • Pre match focus no doubt on our Jan 19 match with them.

    Why give £10 to Sky when you can give our club the money and watch our very own show? Loved it on Saturday
    Exactly, much rather watch the Charlton TV production than commentary and punditry from people who probably (depending who is on) couldn't care less about Charlton or Accrington
    There are far more likely to be Charlton related pundits than Accrington ones! Apart from the geography, I'm really struggling to name a famous ex player with Accrington connections
    David 'Bumble' Lloyd but he was a cricketer.

    Still 100 times better than Clinton O'Morrison.

    None of them will own up to it. :smile:




  • Selfishly I actually prefer Friday night home matches. Looking forward to logging off work early and having a couple of tinnies in the build up to the big game.

    Then tick a new ground on the Saturday.

    The one good idea the squirrel had when she was here.....apart from resigning.

    Fucks over all those of us without Sky and with all the Tier bollocks the pub won't be an option either.
    Now TV day pass is £9.99 so same as if you were buying VP for the game.
    Not if you've already purchased a Valley Pass season ticket.

    A Sky day pass costs 9.99 but I also have to pay for a month's pass to to a VPN service.

    F*** Sky.

    Rob Elliot and Darren Randolph.
    Very good, Scoham.

    And they were even Charlton players!


  • I hope the club have said to Sky:

    "Yes, we'll move our game for you to broadcast.

    But you've got use our presenter. He worked for you for a number of years until a few months ago so you'll be used to him.

    We choose the guests too. A couple of our former managers have appeared regularly on your coverage so we assume you'll be OK with them.

    Oh, and you must use our commentators as well.

    Other than that, fill yer boots!"
    As long as it's not Dowie and Pardew.
  • Is there a list on the OS (or anywhere else) of which overseas territories have a broadcast deal, meaning the match cannot be watched on Valley Pass? It would be useful to know.

    I cannot imagine that there are many places where they buy League One and Two matches? Here in Portugal Eleven Sport cover Championship once in a blue moon, so I know there was an issue when we were in that league, but does this still count, because it is EFL - even though they dont show anything below Championship?

    Luckily I have Sky through Now TV for the next few months, but it might be handy for others to know?

    The boozers will be packed for this one.
    There’s only one thing more depressing than watching this game in the pub.....and that’s watching it with you in the pub. 
    Crack on Dicky.  I don't drink anymore, I'm a changed man.

    Asking for peanuts when buying a round is taking liberties.

    Thanks Clive. I had seen that before actually. I have e-mailed the EFL out of curiosity as that does not answer the Championship v Leagues One and Two question. But I appreciate your effort.

    I'd be interested to know what reply you get because I don't believe that Bein Sports show English third division football in France. 
  • Just checked: they are showing three matches on 8th January: 2 FA Cup matches and 1 Bundesliga.

    So I am not allowed to watch it on my Valley Pass season ticket because it would contravene broadcasting rights of a broadcaster who choose not to show it anyway. 
  • Is Now TV available online as a one off?  And is it actually just another sky brand?

    Yes, a 24 hour pass is £9.99, so if you time it right you'd get some saturday games too, I think.
    Now TV is the streaming app on which you watch Sky TV on a computer, and is owned by them.

    It seems that Sky are showing every L1 match that weekend!

    Lincoln City 12:30 Peterborough United
    Ipswich Town 17:30 Swindon Town
    Wigan Athletic 19:45 Hull City

    FA Cup 3rd round day. They don't have the rights to the FA Cup & so have an empty weekend to fill. 

    No idea who the BBC are putting up on Friday night in opposition. A big Premiership clash no doubt....🙂
