Premiership fixture set-up is disgusting.

[fetish]

I think it's crap how Premiership football is being overtaken by Sky. It used to be all 10 games, played on a Saturday, kick-off at 3pm, with maybe the odd Sunday @ 4pm game, and mid-week games at 7.30pm. I just looked on BBC Sport for the current scores, and I noticed just three Premiership games today kicked off at 3pm, with one game already played, which started at 12.00. Nowadays it's rare to see Chelsea playing on Saturday @ 3pm (today being an exception). If I was a fan with a season ticket, this would really annoy me.

Is this situation annoying anyone else?

I think it is good, as people like me who follow 2 teams (Leyton Orient & Liverpool) i can watch orient live on a satuay then watch liverpool on tv the next.


So for season ticket holders it isnt annoying, its "fab".

I would like more Football games to be on the Terestrial (If thats how u spell it) channels. Like BBC1 and ITV, its usually just the Champions league and FA/Carling Cup on them.

I agree, all teams should kikc off at the same time I think.

[fetish]

I mean people with Premiership season tickets.

and @ Eckuii, I agree. But as Sky have a contract with the FA and are paying them a LOT of money, I can't see this happeneing.

Well, it does annoy me a fair bit! But yeh, Sundays would be boring without footy..

[fetish]

I'm not saying EVERY game should be played Saturday afternoon, it's just these stupid early morning/early evening weekend games.

[sock]

5 games on Saturday, 5 games on Sunday. Doees fairly annoy me because I don't know whats happening, because I always forget sunday matches.

It is a bit silly. It happens in the championship too sometimes though. When we play Ipswich next month the kick off time is 11.15am on a Sunday becase ut is on Sky. :rolleyes:

Don't really annoy me because don't follow it much but it would be alot easier from premiership fans if there was like, 7/8 games on Saturday, 1/2 games on Sunday, 1 game on Monday night.
