Sky Sports agrees new five-year EFL deal (Apr 2024)

Maybe they’ve realised Hollywood is in Bromsgrove so we’re closer to it than Wrexham.

Sorry - wrong thread. :joy:

Our game against Newport on Easter Monday now kicks off at an earlier time of 12:30

It’s what happens when you sell your soul to the devil, unfortunately.
Another good day ruined.

Great call. Raising the profile of the club. Growing interest in Walsall FC.

I highly doubt any neutral fans will want to watch this match :dart:

Could be the game we seal promotion :grinning:

I’ll be there. The only bonus is we’ll be back earlier which is always good on a Bank Holiday Monday

I’m not so sure @Pascal the number of people who say to me at work or down the pub … I watched your lot on the tele … I think local people with half an interest opt for the game

I’ve watched a fair few of them with our promotion rivals this season

Having to go down the M5 on a bank holiday is bad enough, but to get through all the traffic to the ground, parked up, and in your seat by 12:30??? Some very early starts required.

You should be in your allocated seat by 12:10 according to official guidance from the club.

Don’t usually finish work till 14 so hopefully they let me out early to watch it !

I’d potentially watch games that affected us in the promotion race, but me watching Bradford isn’t raising the profile of their club is it?

I feel there will be big consequences for clubs in the long term. This is only the beginning. Football was never meant to be a TV programme. I understand that not everyone can get to games, I don’t even manage all away games myself nowadays. I don’t like it at all.

That is only my opinion of course, but then again, fan’s opinions were never asked by the clubs.

You do know that’s child labour? What age did you start? :wink:

I have just been thinking (yes it did hurt) Why has the kick off time been moved for the Newport game? It’s not on a Saturday so doesn’t break the blackout rules.

It might be to put it on the mainstream Sky Football channel, rather than the app. Same as Notts V Crewe has been moved tomorrow, even though it’s an international weekend.

Will the Walsall game be on tomorrow? I hadn’t thought about that. I can’t make Gillingham tomorrow but may be back home in time to catch it on TV.

Yes, it is on Sky Sports+.
