    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.

    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.

    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

    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?

    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

    The 72 EFL clubs signed a TV agreement with Sky, which authorised Sky to move games like this for TV coverage. And in the process spoilt in house productions like Charlton TV.

    Blame the clubs who voted for this arrangement, not Sky.

    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

    Could have been worse, it could have been moved to a Thursday night (Leyton Orient v Stevenage)

    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 ..........?

    The biggest sufferers for this, as has been alluded to, are the Huddersfield fans, many of whom will have already booked train tickets to get the cheaper advance ones that may well not get them there in time now.

    You can't be changing the time with a month to go. The ticket prices now will be twice what they were when the train times first came out.
