Blackburn allocation (7 Viewers)

[skybluecam]

I think there is going to be a lot of upset people by the end of this week RE. this game...

Did anyone really expect it to remain a Saturday 3pm? Sky won’t want to miss any game that could potentially be decisive

[edgy]

Any time on Saturday is acceptable.

Friday or Sunday and we riot.

 

[David O'Day]

12;30 would be ok, back in cov in time for what will hopefully be an all day promotion party

 

[SBAndy]

Any idea when Sky announce whether it’s being moved?

Thursday this week I think.

Its Ipswich v boro, surely they would want that on first (Friday) then us after as may be an outcome then.

 

[thezunigadream]

By the hint given, I’m getting Sunday vibes. 12.30 kick-off

Can they do that?

We play on Tuesday.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I've signed up for their ticketing platform in preparation for inevitably not getting a ticket.

Ideal would be for us to seal promotion home to Wednesday and the title home to Pompey/wrexham.

 

[thezunigadream]

Can they do that?

We play on Tuesday.

Good spot, ok then. Friday night promotion party.

 

[lord_garrincha]

Can they do that?

We play on Tuesday.

I suppose they can and move Pompey on Weds, likely on TV too.

Noon kick-off if it is... lead in for the merseyside derby.

 

[Saddlebrains]

The hint given is bollocks then because we play Tuesday v Pompey

• Selections for matches scheduled after the first weekend in March will be announced on a four-week rolling basis starting from February 1 (e.g. a selection for the first weekend in April will be selected in the first weekend in March).

4 weeks before is this Saturday the 21st March.
hope they announce it sooner

 

[Jay88]

We play on Tuesday.

Yeah they can move both games. If they put Blackburn game on Sunday they'd move Pompey to Wednesday and have them both as a main Sky game. If i'm guessing i'd guess Saturday 12:30 though

 

[thezunigadream]

Pompey not on sale yet so maybe they can move it. I was just going off the hint of people being not happy and Sunday lunch being worst possible available slot. Hope it’s not that.

It's usually announced either the Thursday or Friday

 

[David O'Day]

The Championship games I have seen on a Sunday are usually moved in conjunction with the police. Things like the aggy games lik the Sheffield derby or Swansea vs Bristol.

That could obviously just be moved back 24 hours to the Wednesday

 

[Macca1987]

Would be a bit of a piss take if they decide to move 2 of our games when an early or late kick off on Saturday would suffice

It is Sky remember

 

[Saddlebrains]

But then we are inevitably going to be on Telly again v Wrexham for a promotion or trophy lift game so that gets moved aswell

I wish we were shit so all our games were 3pm Saturday.

 

[North York’s Blue]

It’s the one game I’d like to stay as a Saturday game, intend to stay over and have a few beers , hopefully celebrating promotion/title

Already got several rooms booked at The Fernhurst.

I so wish I had your confidence

Rob and Ryan will demand of Sky that we change the words of our anthem to 'We'll live and Dai in these towns'

Depends on Ipswich demand's.

[The Nomad]

Can't wait till we get into the Premier league so we can get back to normal 3 o'clock kick offs.

 

[Balli001]

I initially thought that, but tomorrow is a month, not 4 weeks

 

[Ipad Boro]

What a decision that is, allowing your opposition over 7000 tickets for a relegation 6 pointer.

They do it for every game almost I think?

Boro travellers always look forward to the Ewood fixture as we can always take over 7K there.

Talking of Blackburn: WBA providing free (buses) for about 1800 fans. The only problem is that there are 150 stops.


Rovers currently sit two points and as many places above the Baggies with eight Championship games to go. The two sides meet when there will be just half a dozen, in a crucial match over the Bank Holiday weekend.

The Baggies are bringing a big away support, with their initial allocation of 4,417 already sold out. The Midlands club have put on 30 free buses for supporters to further sweeten the deal.
