It’s Fixture Release Day

[GTFCfish]

Sky absolutely shafting the fans yet again, I’m working the Saturday so my lad was gonna go on the train with his mates instead but the Thursday I’m also working but there are no trains back after it so my lad can’t go at all now, what a bunch of c*** Sky are.

I reckon our game against you will be moved it falls 4 days after the initial TV picks .I just hope it's not to a Thursday or a Monday .

I hope it isn’t moved at all but it’s bound to be the worst possible day for fans

As people have said no one cares about Notts Grimsby except Notts and Grimsby fans, but I’ve noticed in a lot of their recent PR that Sky are claiming ‘50% extra sport’ and presumably this is the sort of sport they’re talking about.

During Covid the whole thing was about how the fans make the game but the authorities seem to have spent the whole time since royally pissing off those fans and making them less likely to attend. I hope the sums add up for the clubs because in the long term this seems like commercial suicide to me.

It's terrible . It's not even like it definitely will be a good deal financially for a lot of clubs either I will take Notts as an example - the new deal is worth 300k more - say the gate is 4k down for the game against us , they do really well so more and more games are shifted around .... it would only take 3 or 4 more games at daft times for the extra monies to be wiped out through lowered gate receipts . I think the fans have been sold a dud tbh

So like a sick joke my work are now doing a mini shutdown and and it’s to be two days on each shift and the dates it’s shutting down on my shift are 23rd and 24th August.
Notts County away has just been switched from 24th August back to 22nd August.
Fuck off.

Notts v Grimsby and Lincoln v Mansfield were both on the same day. Police might have had a word.

You spoke, Sky listened.

The Cumbria Classico, live on Sky Sports, 12:30pm kick off. Build up coverage starts from 7:30am

I hope they do the half and half scarves again. Got loads of use out of it this winter just gone.
