Great. One of the longest trips of the season moved to a night game. Sure to please those wanting to go.
-
well what a great idea.. NOT, I was really looking forward to this game but now to know we will probably take hardly no one at all im really not.
-
At least were finally on tele for an away game!
-

Not like Sky to consider the supporters is it? What will we take down there on a Monday night? 30-50 fans?
Suppose the plus is more of our fans will get to see it, but you have to feel for those who'd want to go.
-
For God sake ! I have arranged my weekend to go up to crawley and see family on the saturday when originally scheduled. I Frigging hate SKY, Pricks !! :headbang:
-
And those who already have train tickets booked.
-
In the minority, but pleased with this. Suits me better than a Saturday game.
-
Prefer that they show a Rovers away game to a home game - last thing we want is a reduced crowd at the Keepmoat! :thumbsup:
-
Do we get any extra TV revenue for this? Maybe the club could pay for travel costs for those die hard enough to go!

would still expect 150 to go but had it of been the saturday id of expected 3/400 going.

that is a fantastic idea!!! can we see anymore into this?
-
I was going to go for this but even for me here in Wiltshire, it's 120 miles each way. Monday night? Nope. And sadly, I don't have Sky.
-
Typical Sky...always considering the supporters :facepalm:
-
And those who already have train tickets booked.
great and 6 of us

Since when did you need Sky to watch live TV matches?
-
There's a group from Thorne who've arranged transport and booked hotels to make a weekend of it.
-
Seems a bit daft leaving it this late to announce this? Earlier in the season would not have messed folks about so much.
-
hate Sky with a passion!
5 train tickets bought here and no chance of a refund.
Maybe the VSC could take up our case with Sky/DRFC/Crawley to get some compensation?
AMF!
-
Fantastic. Well done and thankyou to sky. Finally an away game that I otherwise would not have seen.
-

Agreed. I think it's a shame they don't schedule all but the last couple of weeks of the season in advance- i.e soon after the fixtures come out. It would stop this business where people have made travel arrangements etc.
I had thought about going (I won't be now) but at least I hadn't made any firm plans, thank goodness!
-

No, it goes to the home club
-
Boycott sky and all Murdoch enterprises
-
Should guarantee a crowd of no more than about 2500 if its on TV.
This fixture was effectively only confirmed as going ahead over that weekend when Crawley lost 3-1 to Reading on Saturday, its the FA Cup 5th round on the 16th February. This probably explains why the decision has only been taken today. That said its ruined all my plans for the weekend as well as many others.
-
Well I'm pleased. Means I'll get to see this now.
Also, have we ever had an away game live on tele that wasn't part of a two-legged cup game? I seriously cannot remember a single one.
-
Stevenage ,in the days of clown shoes
-
Port Vale after Penney was sacked when Guy scored 2? I recall watching it in a pub in London and being absolutely fuming when they turned it over!!
-
Heffs got the 2,
-
Did Lewis Guy dive? That was probably more likely.... Or was it that Mickey Walker sent him to the shop for some chewing gum?
-
Dagenham And Redbridge (I beleive) one Friday night about 10 years ago.
Lost 1 0 and had a man sent off
-
Wasn't it 2 men sent off?
EDIT - One Man - Jamie Price? And didn't Marples get injured that game too?
We also played woking was it on a Sunday in the Conference? We won, it was cold, there was a streaker, and we had followed Liverpool v Man United. Nothing like a comedown for the armchair SS fan!
EDIT - That was a home game!!
-
That was at home
-
Well I'll still be goin fxxx sky
-
I do remember that Daggers game that Jamie Price got sent off in now actually. The Woking game was definitely at home...I remember there was a streaker but thats about it! :P
Oh and Warren Patmore was playing for Woking.
-
thank you sky :woohoo:
-
Stevenage ,in the days of clown shoes
Chester away when we had two sent off by Mr Singh
-
we had a 5pm BBC2 championship game against the Blunts a couple of years ago
-
Boycott sky and all Murdoch enterprises
People won't do that..they love lining Murdochs pockets.
-

That was at home.
-
It was Tris Whitman who was sent off in that Dagenham game for the most innocuous challenge I've ever seen. The Dagenham player kicked the ball and Whitman basically ran into his outstretched leg. I was only young at the time but I remember going mad.

Worth every penny.
-
Guy missed a penalty then did one of his more obscene dives to win a second one.
The revolting t**t of a player that he is.
-
4 train tickets already booked for this. No chance of a refund, so i suppose we'll have to go on the lash in London instead.

No, it goes to the home club
Apparently we get in region of 10 grand
-
Did the clubs (esp. Rovers) get any say in the change?
-

Right game, Jenny, but wrong player. It was Thornton who Mickey sent to the shops.
-
Gavin said we get £10,000 for a televised away game (Home team £30,000) so, it may be prudent to raise the question politely about transport and some kind of gesture for those who have got non refundable train tickets for the original date.
-

yes we do if at home we get £30,000 but if at home we get 10,000

I think that is definitley something than can be asked and it would be a very well received gesture from the club.
-
think it would be great of the club, and would see more turn out to support the team on the day.
-
The problem is that the league allow Sky to change the fixture anything up to 6 weeks in advance. Today was the last day this could have been done. Doesn't help those with tickets who can't now go or those with travel paid for, but it's within the rules.
We can ask the club if there is anything they can do to compensate fans who can't now go, but I wouldn't hold your breath. We know all available funds are being pumped into the promotion push and a 10k windfall could get us a quality loanee for a month or so (or Darren Esdaille for 12 months)

Deja Vu much? That's all I saw Paynter do against the Blunts last week. Who was the ref that day I wonder?
-
It could be a good thing for crowds in a sense - we're better away and we're on tele away, could tempt a few down.

If any of you who haven't got sky know someone who has, ask them to create you an account on Sky Go. A Sky user can register two different computers to their account so if they're kind they'll let you use one of them and you can watch on your PC for free. I haven't paid to watch any Sky programmes for years but will be watching this one for nowt, just like I'm watching Bradford beating Villa right now.
