You need to get a decent one mate. Not that I’m advocating illegal broadcasting of course. Just what I’ve been told…. I keep hearing of these decent ones, then when I buy them they’re hit and miss.. always Bob on when it’s something wank you’re not really watching…then soon as you’re settled in to watch the last leg, it buffers Has to be your internet.

Sky+ have 3 x 12-30 every week just like this Saturday coming Cardiff v Blackburn Middlesbrough v Luton Stoke v Millwall It’s the same every week and all fans have known this since August Well, all fans have known since the conclusion of season ticket sales. It makes you wonder how many people would have decided to not renew if the announcement had been made earlier. Fair comment mate but I’m pretty sure the majority would still have renewed in my opinion. We seemed to turn up ok for Premier League games at all sorts of times back then🤔 |

Apparently VPN and internets 100Mb and you still get that annoying circle going round with the frozen screen. Not even got a radio to listen to sohails quality commentary (that’s another point, why can’t you listen to the match on bbc online🤷🏼♂️) |

Just spotted this game kicks off at 12.30 which is 2 on the trot. I think one other game also starts at 12.30 and all the rest are 15.00 Pain in the arse KO time, anybody know why. Sky TV is fucking shit, Sky TV is fucking shit etc…… We could always turn the money down? |

Crock of shit 12.30 kick offs. Absolutely detest them. Does anybody know if this format is the same next season?? It’s going to be the same for the next 5 seasons |

And for some bizarre reason they’ve made it a category A game. Can’t see them selling many at £30 a pop.

It's not on sky as a main game just sky+ Sky is the reason though, so they can show more games and make people buy their product. They can’t show Saturday 3pm kick offs so a load got moved to 12.30 If they can't show a 3pm ko why not 2,45 or 3,15? |

It’s hurting our corporate hospitality sales for sure. Hard to sell three course meals at 10:30/11 in the morning. Doesn't need much brain power to work out that you should put the meal on afterwards. That would also reduce the queues trying to get off the car park. I don't actually mind the 12.30 kick off. There is something nice about winning early and then having a free afternoon when you don't have to worry about checking the scores every two minutes. It's much better than the 5.30 Saturday slot which completely ruins your Saturday evening. |

Somehow don't think the corporate hospitality would have the same feeling as pre-match. Bit "after the Lord mayor's show" sort of feel. Sundays 2 and 4.30 and Monday night is more than enough IMO.(for Sky live) |

I was chatting the the bloke who runs Bru in Stoke on Sat and the damage it does to the pubs. There were around 5 people in there on Saturday compared to what would be Double or Triple, that if it was 3.00pm kick off. The same applies to Spoons, Kingsway, Glebe and Staff of Life.
In an already struggling town, Sky are destroying the places that rely on the 3.00pm Sat kick offs.

It's time they got rid of the 3pm blackout. In this day and age where most people have IPTV, people who want to attend games attend them and those that don't, don't.
To think that Sky showing 3pm games would massively impact attendances is both naïve and damaging to the game, they're actually inconveniencing and effecting attendances more in the football league by having so many games at shitty KO times.

I get it's not for everyone but I really don't mind early KO's
I can get home for 3pm KO's at home, and earlier the better for away games

If the OP thinks Millwall ko time is bad(which it is) wait till our home game v Leeds!!
Should be one of the highlights of the season. Being played on 26 Dec at 08pm. 26/12 isn't there something else on that day?
Boxing day should be a traditional local derby played at 03pm full stop.

Suits me fine, not bothered about pre-match boozing and the early kick offs allow you to do more with your day than just trekking down to the 365. PS yes I know I’m selfish! |

But Derby, W Brom, Birmingham etc at 03pm home or away would be perfect for Boxing Day. 08pm V anybody is just plain awful. I know I won't be there. |

Tin hat on but I actually didn't mind the 12:30 KO last week. Had a decent breakfast in the 1863 lounge and got back home at a responsible time!  |

I’ve said it before ….. how league chairmen have agreed to this sh** is scandalous, generations of families would have had 3 pm (or 3:15 when we were at the Victoria Ground) cemented into their once-a-fortnight family ritual. But as we know, working class habits mean absolutely nowt when there are twats out to make as much money as possible, yes Sky TV profits will be up but at what human cost? The whole thing stinks - Stoke will have been offered a few crumbs as part of the deal and we’re all just supposed to take it in the chin and adapt, I’d write a letter of complaint to SCFC but as I know no-one else will bother then I conna be bothered either …… enjoy yer weird KO times guys!!
