You utter f*cking w*nkers. A fierce South Yorkshire derby game with a 12.30pm KO, and no Sky coverage. Why?

For different reasons, I couldn't get tickets for the game. Now I'll not see the match at all.

A completely ruined weekend with nothing to look forward to. Just when I was getting excited again about the Rovers.

It was moved around police advice, not for TV purposes. Not sure what the issue is.

Original 3pm KO not Sky’s fault

It should be obvious what the issue is for me. Read the last sentence again.

It was never meant to be televised. Can’t be good for you to get yourself so worked up at a phantom argument.

I assume the police are exercising their traditional concerns about heightened emotions fuelled by the availability of an extra two and a half hours of alcohol consumption, but they would have been able to anticipate this when the fixtures were being drawn up. The TV agreement between Sky and the EFL ought to have catered for this kind of situation.

Now come on, that’s far too sensible and considers the fans, it will never happen!  :headbang:

I would be concerned for your health and wellbeing if you get this worked up over something so small. How did you cope when hardly any game was on Sky just a few seasons ago…

Out of interest, Sheffield derby game on Sunday. Odd the fixture computer threw them both up the same weekend.

Yes, Fal, I overreacted a bit. The trouble is, we get too used to things that we weren't bothered about not having at one time.

Look at the reaction on here from most of us when the cookie monster was striking all the time.

I'm even now considering getting a dodgy firestick; something I said I'd never do.

Still not on par with widespread meltdown on the signing of Byrne. That thread should be framed for future reference. Extraordinary stuff.

Perhaps they were worried that Scawsby Steve had got angry.  :boxing:

Surely someone who isn't going knows someone who has one of them funny sticks and could accommodate a fellow fan?!

If your anywhere near Brid you can call by my van for the match scawsby

Cheers, Ry. Actually, a mate of mine down the street has got one, so I'll be watching it there.

It's still not listed on the Sky Sports app, so I don't think it will be on there.

It wasn’t on my match choice on the red button half hour ago. All the other games were.

Can't find it on Sky anywhere. Any way of listening outside of South Yorkshire?

For a long period it looked like actually watching the match would ruin many a weekend!
