    Bloody Sky, just f'orf...🤦‍♂️
  • Any other time and this would piss me right off but, on this occasion, if we can win the match and pick up the 3 points then it will put a little downer on the other teams around us and add a bit more pressure on them as they go into their 3pm game.

    Ffs luckily I am off... But make it 12 and I can go and see ebbsfleet in the afternoon.. Assuming their at home. 
  • Have we lost an early kick off yet.. Memory serves me we have had 3 so far and won 2 and drew 1 without conceding a goal and I have  been to all 3. I am talking about sky games chosen not holiday period games. 
  • Pain in the arris.  In hospitality that day so now getting up at silly o’clock to get to the Valley at 10.  Weird to be at the ground that early 
  • How much extra cash do we get?

    I know I’ve banged on but why us fans who actually attend games have to put up with this shit I don’t know - we just take it laying down in this country - sky and every other tv company should be made to fit in around us,not the other way round - we gave the game to the world and now the world is telling us when we are allowed to watch it 
    It was in the hands of the clubs and they voted to accept the financial rewards.
    In the case of the Hudds game it would be interesting to know if the club made them aware  of the  PSA testing day or if they  just want the extra payment?

    I agree but not with the “in this country” bit. It’s still bad but we actually have it better than lots of other countries. We do need to kick up a fuss before games are being moved with a weeks notice like can happen in lots of mainland Europe

    I remember someone saying the new tv deal was fine as we would barely be affected. It's not, it's shit. Every game that's moved is wank for the fans attending. How many trains are there that'll get Hudds fans down in time?
    No one gives a flying fu*k about the fans, iit's all about money money and more soddin' money, and yes before anyone chirps in, " we could do with the money", I know, but 3 pm should be the earliest any game kicks off...
    Fu*ked off big time with bloody Sky...oh yes and the clubs for agreeing to this...🥱
  • The money goes straight through the clubs and into the players pockets - enough is enough

  • Would be great if we could end there 25 year unbeaten run live on Sky

  • When football was a working class game, men used to go to work in factories or construction Saturday morning and then go to the match in the afternoon - obviously things have changed 
  • TBF, 50 or so years ago, on a bank holiday Charlton’s games would kick off at 11am, so a 12.30 kick off is virtually a lie in, not an inconvenience 
    Really, I don’t remember an 11.00 KO.
    Can you tell us a few games in the 70’s that KOd at 11am?
  • I don't know about the seventies but I still have the programme when we beat Hudds 7-6 in 1957 and it advertises the next home game Christmas morning ko 11.15 am against Doncaster.

    That’ll be why I don’t remember then as I was minus 5 years old.
    Hope you’re doing ok.

    You could almost understand Christmas and Bank Holiday games then kicking off at that time, but it was the EFL and the clubs that decided that, not Bloody Sky, when it's entirely about filling their sodddin' coffers, it was totally a different game then...

    Unfortunately not very mobile  but I am able to watch most games on tv  one way or another. Thanks. 
  • Like the majority of clubs with bigger grounds Charlton run at a financial loss , TV money helps reduce these losses. Of course if more fans attended the Valley ..........?
