West Brom (h) will be Friday night Is this confirmed? Just booked flights to come back for this game, would much prefer a Saturday, but maybe an afternoon in the pub and a win against the Baggies under the lights would be fun!! No, TBC later. |

So will iFollow still show all/most games? According to Sky, their new Sky Sports + service will 'replace domestic streaming' and is worth £180m more, to EFL clubs, than the old platform (I assume they're talking about follow etc). |

I don’t mind an early kick off for the same reason, a bit of breakfast followed by the game and a couple of beers and still home at a good time. The downside is the flat atmosphere in the ground….. |

Sadly I fear that this is true. We will play WHEN WE ARE TOLD TO PLAY. This is becoming a very dangerous precedent. Fixtures arranged to suit top clubs and viewing audiences is not wright. It's been coming for some time and needs to be addressed by high level authorities. Imagine a situation (a long time in the future possibly) where Sky or somebody dictates not only the time of KO but the venue possibly abroad or at a neutral stadium. Seem incomprehensible? Cast our minds back 10/20 years. Would you believe that regular Sat 3:00pm KO would no longer be the norm? |

The downside is the flat atmosphere in the ground….. yeah that's the only downside but if it's a big game and the majority of the crowd went out early enough then it tends to be ok  or of course if the players actually put in a good performance. I'm sure the opening day of the season will provide a good atmosphere, Cov will sell out and in their new location in the corner and with the addition of the safe standing too. Home games gonna be like a new experience hopefully this season |

I've not been to a decent 12.30 game yet, that's my main issue. Maybe I just missed all the good ones. I just don't think any of us (fans, players etc) are designed for 12.30 kick offs. I just feel that when it comes to 3pm on a Saturday my whole system is programmed to be ready for a game of football. |

No, TBC later. I'd prefer Sunday or Monday as flying in Friday bloody sky be interesting to see total attendances for the season coming in the efl v last but the logic will be they haven't dropped to the value of £180m . |

Nine Saturday matches will be switched for live tv out of 24

Stoke have 24 games shown live in 2024-25:
9 x night matches
1st and last games x2
Bank Holidays x 4
= 15 live games
We will have nine live games at weekends that will be switched between Friday night and monday night
If my thought process is correct
Wwithin seven days (of today) all live games will be chosen for all games up to end of Sept
Before season starts then all live games chosen up to Jan 3rd round date
By November 1st all live games picked up to end of March
Then four weeks notice of live games chosen until season end.

american owners ...... zero respect for the fanbase Wrexham has become a franchise. There are more fans in the US than in the UK. They shouldn’t enjoy the success of having American owners who have used their celebrity to market the club and then be surprised that the American owners want to bring the club to more fans. They’d make a fortune for that game. |

They’d make a fortune for that game. it's not a franchise if there's only one of them. the game isn't about celebrity owners, it's far bigger than them, and league games should never be played abroadd for a myriad of reasons. if you want 'entertainment' try the dreadful NFL or even worse, baseball, and sing your heart out to the toxic tyler swift. |

wasn't it part of the agreement with so many fixture changes for tv, they would be announced for the first half of the season as a compromise? I am sure I read it somewhere but may be mistaken. I believe this may be more accurate Television selections for all matches to be played before the end of September will be confirmed by July 1, within seven days of the fixtures being announced. Selection of all other matches scheduled to be played before the FA Cup third round, in January 2024, will be confirmed before the start of the season. Selection of all matches to be played between the FA Cup third round and the first weekend of March will be confirmed by November 1. Selection of all matches scheduled after the first weekend of March will be made on a four-week rolling basis starting from February 1. not happened then if tv fixture ti be announced later The accurate announcement schedule is exactly what I put in my post. I did say i may have been mistaken on the accuracy, but all games till christmas to be announced before the season starts wasn't too far away |

So I'm right in saying midweek kick off 20.45 Fookin hope not, I’ll struggle to stay awake until the end. Then I’ve got to walk back to the car and drive home. |

Personally I won’t be affected by day/time changes, possibly no more than an inconvenience or a fcuk me thought.
I wonder what the impact will be on others (ST holders etc), parents i.e. those who take children to sporting events etc. Supermarket shopping etc. others myriad of personal commitments.
Supporters who organise coach travel, filling coaches
The club itself, fanzone, Ricardo’s etc
Time will tell

Not sure why this Sky stuff is all of a sudden baffling people and getting them angry
It’s been common knowledge for a long time now re kick time and match days changed
We knew it was coming so it’s no surprise
