Thanks Harry, I just nearly threw up at work. I think I'd rather eat my Nans toenails than that ****ing ****.
Yeah we had an FA Cup tie at Sunderland as an early game a few years back too Like you say they really don't give a ****e... as long as the fanboys in Malaysia etc. are happy.
Not really, it’s designed to take the peak time Saturday night tv slot, the fans are simply collateral damage. It’ll lead to alcohol issues at some games imo, as people will make a full day of it and will be hanging by that KO time on a Saturday night.
It’s all aimed at the armchair fan and **** everybody else. Which, as Sky is a Tv company, isn’t a great surprise. Away fans will be ****ed, as they’ve been for some six nations games before. Game finishes around 10pm-ish, by the time you get out of the ground good luck getting home again!
The 7:45pm KO is a pain in the arse for fans, but I have to admit that from a personal perspective it will be great to catch a game in the evening. I work Saturdays so I miss all the 3pm games and when I get home it's into the dinner/bath/bedtime routine with my little un, so I miss most of the 5:30 games too. It will be great to get her off to bed and then watch the game with a few bevvies
Not straight forward...but we should be beating relegation fodder if we seriously want to be in Europe next season. However, it's Liverpool we're talking about here. We're about as consistent as beef jerky.
Nowadays I hardly go to games so having some Saturday entertainment gets a thumbs up from me. I get how it'll affect STH's and other fans but that's their business. On a personal level it's good - better than Xfactor and all the other ****e on a Saturday night. Although I reckon it'll start a few domestics regarding the remote control!!
