Whilst understanding the sentiment of your email it is not the clubs fault and the fixture list states it is subject to change. This is one of the downsides of supporting an upwardly mobile club.I have just sent an email to the club staying I'm very unlikely to renew given that the fixture list produced in July was effectively ripped up the day the season started . I've asked them what assurances they can give that next season it won't happen again ( it will ) because otherwise I'll stay at home ( and , ironically, probably watch it on telly ! ) .
I could say, but il get the usual 'you just hate King'
is Doug putting on sky events for them or something? It’s always home games ffs
Evidence?He basically told sky start of the year we'll bend over for them with home games for any game they want as we get 100k per game
He figures the loss of ticket sales will be compensated and more by that figure

With team selections and some transfer rumours yes, not on this kind of stuff. Our form has improved a lot so it makes more sense for us to be televised.Doubt me, i couldnt care less. Proven enough on here this year
SunderlandAm I right in thinking we have had only FOUR Saturday 3pm KO, so far?
For that to be the case wouldn't clubs have to be in a position to turn Sky down and refuse to move games when they are selected for television?He basically told sky start of the year we'll bend over for them with home games for any game they want as we get 100k per game

Absolute bollocks.
Sky don’t care about our coffers, they care about how many people are likely to watch.Is it?
We've already got the ST holders in. How many people are paying per game in the home end? Around 5 thousand. Millwall Cat B
Average price due to kids and adults shall we say £24?
£24 × 5000 is £120,000
Due to it being televised some wont go, shall we say half of those who planned no longer will? So that £120,000 becomes £60,000
But because we've got the £100,000 from sky, its giving us a total of £160,000 for that match
We've had this happen a few times this season, well documented, wether its good or bad, but lets take the £60,000 more profit as an average over the 7 or 8 games by end of year we would have moved to Sky, thats an extra £480,000 in the clubs coffers
I've not said its a bad move from Doug, financially its brilliant as its another revenue stream increased which is what hes banged on about since being here
Thats the 'load of bollocks'

And I’m sure it’s more probable that Doug King decides what gets televisedI'm sure the footballing world will be falling over themselves for the fanfare of Coventry v Millwall
Fuck Boca Juniors v River Plate
Sky pay a fixed fee don't they? It's not negotiable per clubDoubt me, i couldnt care less. Proven enough on here this year
Doug King and Sky Sports were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at meHe basically told sky start of the year we'll bend over for them with home games for any game they want as we get 100k per game

Christ, if you were there through that L1 relegation season, a few moved games is nothing.
Exactly thisIt is if you pay for 23 games but due to other commitments you miss upwards of 8 of them.
The maths arent going to look so good if the club loses, say, 3,000 STs next season.Is it?

Boro at home was a 12:30 KO. Depending on if people want to count Boxing Day as a 'Saturday' game, it's 4 at home all season (5 inc. Boxing Day). I make it 12 out of 26 for the whole season so far (13 inc. Boxing Day)Middlesbrough
True but what do you expect the club to do? It’s easy to bitch about the changes of times and days but supporting Coventry City is about taking the rough with the smooth.The maths arent going to look so good if the club loses, say, 3,000 STs next season.
In all seriousness, what can the club do about it? If we were playing like a sack of sh^te (Birmingham, Stoke etc) then I would be more sympathetic. Or if you have to travel from the back end of beyond. For me, it's a bit of a nuisance, but nothing more. I'll renew next season, already knowing that due to the odd family commitment I'll miss a couple of games. No big deal. PUSB!I have just sent an email to the club staying I'm very unlikely to renew given that the fixture list produced in July was effectively ripped up the day the season started . I've asked them what assurances they can give that next season it won't happen again ( it will ) because otherwise I'll stay at home ( and , ironically, probably watch it on telly ! ) .
You've conveniently forgotten tax and also that £160k - £120k isn't £60k, but £40k.Is it?
