Why
It isn’t on TV surely.
What has happened to our beautiful game and the traditional 3.00pm Saturday kick off time.

For whose benefit is this for?

Possibly to try to stop people spending too much time in the pubs pre game.
Just a guess.

Brilliant, you think you're safe booking daughters birthday stuff for a Sunday, not anymore. Getting a bit annoyed at all these moved games.

Yeah, that is a good point.

Surely though, more time in the pubs after a game it isn’t a football problem anymore?

With Sky virtually controlling when league games are played I reckon that if we are in the frame for auto promotion towards the end of the season then there could be more matches moved from Saturdays to other days.

That’s a certainty hound. 

I wish Sky tv would go belly up and all the other channels getting on the bandwagon.
My contract ends next month.
Will be cancelling it after 30 continuous years as a Sky Sports subscriber.

Wait until the end of January mate.
Rovers away at Gillingham and then Barrow (on a Wednesday night) are both on Sky.

I'm happy that I have never paid for a single Sky package. They were rapacious at the beginning and they are rapacious today. They can eff off as far as I'm concerned.

FA cup is not on sky but it’s still a shocking decision

Post by: scawsby steve on December 06, 2024, 10:06:07 pm
This is nothing whatsoever to do with Sky. It's the FA, and maybe Humberside Police.

I don’t think people are directly linking Sky to this game, are they? Just bashing Sky for repeatedly changing fixture times and dates much like has happened here.

To summarise, football is going to the dogs.

Do we get a fee for "international TV coverage"?

I got up at 7.00am for a 7.45am start to my journey to Kettering in the last round.

Now we’ve got another 12.00 Sunday kick-off in Round 3.

Are fans ever considered in these decisions?

It won’t be a police decision, there has never to my knowledge been any ‘previous’ between Hull & Rovers supporters.

Can’t believe it’s been chosen as a live game by TV plus it’s too early to call those games scheduled this early?

A ‘weird one’ which has me scratching my head right now.

(Reminder to self, must get some Head & Shoulders Shampoo).

Are you joking? There’s always pockets of bother when we play them, I’ve seen it several times.

I would say the ‘selected for international coverage’ is a smoke screen as the police don’t fancy it being a 3pm Saturday kick off. Think about it, the only international market this kick off time really serves would be Asia. I doubt there is much interest in a 3rd round tie between hull and rovers in Tokyo.

It’s a joke and no consideration has been given to the fans whatsoever. No wonder the cup died long ago.

Somewhere on the firestick this game will now be on. Who thought let's pick this out the 32 abroad though?
