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 What's baffling for me is that only league 2 has 3pm kick offs on the first Saturday.

But it still doesn't make first day 12.30 kick off any more palatable. It cocks up lots of things all round. Family arrangements, travel for out of towners, shite build up, corporate entertainment a nonsense etc.

I fookin hate 12.30 kick offs. Detest them. So to make our first game of the season one is shite. What the fuck is the attraction with Coventry anyway.? Methinks this is a nothing live game in the SKY qouta to get out of the way. Every game is being shown on the opening weekend. It's the 12.30 mate that grinds my gears.

Not that it matters - with my lad playing Saturday mornings I’ll prob just miss kick off!

Wasn’t the last day of last season a 12-30 kick off and one of our best crowds last season?

So they can show every match, think every week each league will kick off at different times as in 12.30 3.00 and 5.30 league 1&2 will have their turns no doubt.

18/1 to win the championship with bet fair.
I know we won't win it but I think we'll surprise a few next season (please God).

I didn't realise that for some clubs the majority of games will be played at 12.30? (e.g. Carlisle are stating that on their website) That's quite a change if so.

Equally for everyone that is inconvenienced by a 12.30 kick off, there will be plenty of other it suits.
For me its the change of day to Friday and Monday nights that are most inconvenient due to shifts.
I much prefer an earlier kick off, means I have the rest of the day afterwards, understand others may not, but equally isn't that just life.

Still think it's a crap time for a football game though. The players always seem like they've just got out of bed to me.

If we just shrug and accept it then it will only get worse.

other than Aug 10th theres no Championship stream until October 2nd (apart from Cup game 13/14 Aug) so doesnt look like the heavily advertised SkySports+ (with all those multi streams) has owt better than Red Button?

Stoke City’s Championship clash with Hull City at the bet365 Stadium has been selected for live coverage by Sky Sports.
As a result of the selection, the Potters will now welcome the Tigers to ST4 on Friday, September 20 for an 8pm kick-off.
Stoke City’s first trip to Oxford United in 23 years has been selected for live Sky Sports coverage.
The date of the fixture remains unchanged with City heading to the Kassam Stadium on Saturday, September 14.
However, the kick-off time has been brought forward with the action now getting underway at 12.30pm.

WBA (24 Aug) to Norwich (19 Oct) which could also be switched. I knew that fixtures would change a bit but 8 weeks without a home Saturday game is taking the p***. It must be like being a Manc or Scouse Red but their fans mainly only watch them on screen and never go. Rant over. Friday M6 a joke.
