Also Palarse at home has been moved to a Monday night kick off for live Sky coverage.
Why no away games - Colchester would have been ideal given the limited number of away tickets and the fact it is close to the end of the season so could seal promotion?
It could affect home gates as well and the support the team desperately needs, unless the club do some nifty promos to attract the punters.
Sky - like my arse.

As well as this, the Potters penultimate home game of the campaign against fellow promotion chasers Bristol City on Saturday, April 19th will now kick off at 5:20pm, instead of its original 3pm slot.
Both matches will be shown live on Sky Sports 1.

2 hours later than scheduled is hardly the end of the world for the Brizzle game is it. It’s an excuse to get even more drunk and sing til your voice box falls out. The Palace game is a bit of a kick in the nuts though.

Dunno why I was thinking that! Uni education, eh? ;D Dexy's wouldn't tell me to fuck off, I'm their biggest fan. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/KYqg3pYeaerc5lD_P7BR.gif) I'm also the biggest fan of Alda and Showaddywaddy.

This is a f**king joke! Instead of having 20,000+ for both the Bristol City and Palace games we will struggle to get 15,000. Not only will the club lose out on revenue (I bet Sky coverage money will not cover the loss in gate receipts) but we'll have the embarrassment of having two poor gates when we are attempting to go for promotion.
Sky have really p*ssed me off this season by showing us live on 6 occassions, five of which have been at the Brit. Surely it should be near enough to 50-50 home and away coverage.

our official site is now saying palace is 8pm kick off ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/cj7bsBj2jOTuEAUVaPt5.gif) City Games Moved For Sky Posted on: Wed 27 Feb 2008 Two of City's vital home games during the run in have been selected for coverage on Sky Sports. The game against Crystal Palace on April 5th has been moved back to Monday 7th for an 8PM K/O. A fortnight later the table toping match with Bristol City on 19th of April remains on the same date but has been moved back 5.20PM for TV coverage. We hope as many fans as possible can make it to the game and fill The Brit for the Sky TV cameras. Any enquiries should be made to the ticket office.

As much is this winds me up, theres absolutely no way SCFC could turn it down due to the windfall they will receive. I hate how Sky are abusing their position, they virtually control the fixture schedule! ![>:(](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/MK1XRTh9jLIKdOoyx512.gif) P.S. I've been ligering on this board since the Oatcake shut down and it seems that it is growing on me by the day! Great work folks!
