    Why are all man utd games at rubbish times...does anybody miss the days of 3 o'clock kick off when everyone used to get pissed before then the result didn't matter because everyone used to go out after as well. Sunday kick off and late Saturday kick off have spoilt the atmosphere.

  2. Seems to me you don't really care about the actually kickoff time as such, more the interference with your drinking time <laugh>

    Matth might be able to shed some light. He has Chelsea, United and Swansea as his best teams.

    It's not been that bad this year, we've had a few Saturday at three kick off's at the start of the season.

    Up until it all went to s**t last season we never did, virtually every game was live. Those Sky c**ts don't give a f** for the fans, at all.

    You can't even plan a weekend round it, I don't live in Manchester any more but would like to go up, watch the game on a Saturday and then go into town for some beers. Next thing you know that games been changed to a f**ing Sunday so you're either taking a day off work or driving home after the game having had no beer.

    It's s**t.

    Course they don't. As long as the fans keep forking over their £50 a month to Sky they are essentially paying them to move as many kick off times as possible. They can complain as much as they like, but Sky won't give a **** as long as they keep paying. I always wondered at the sanity of that Green and Gold bunch - paying the Glazers £50 a head for the privilege of protesting against them <laugh>

    Fans nowadays are just treated like customers. And if a customer isn't willing to vote with their feet if they don't like the changing kick off times, high prices, Sky monopoly and the rest then they will be treated like ****.

  18. Similar with the 'stay away' protests. If its a season ticket holder, the owners won't give a **** since they've already had the money. If its a match day ticket then they've either had the money already or simply sell the unused ticket to someone else #pointlessprotesting

    Aye, stay away protests only work if it a small club like City who can't fill their ground so the refused tickets go unsold.
