@owlstalk Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Three of the Owls’ Championship fixtures have been switched in December. The home game against Derby and visit to Middlesbrough have been selected for live television coverage on Sky, while our Hillsborough clash versus Wolves moves back 24 hours. The Rams clash, originally scheduled for Saturday 5 December, will now take place on Sunday 6 December, kick-off 1.15pm. Wednesday’s trip to Middlesbrough, meanwhile, stays on Monday 28 December but will start at 5.15pm. Finally, our hosting of Wolves, originally pencilled in for Saturday 19 December, will now be played the next day on Sunday 20 December at 2.00pm given Wanderers’ selection for Sky the previous Thursday.

theowlsman Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 The whole World is getting Sheffield Wednesday for Christmas. New telly and satellite sales will be booming worldwide. Our Thai, and other Asian fans, will be looking forward to December with anticipation. We'll be on in every bar in the world. Australians will be saying "We're All Wednesday Aren't We Cobbers?" Thais will be saying "We all Wednesday Are Not We?" Eastern Europeans will be saying "Vare all Wensdyski" And as we start our new World domination, with Mr C at the helm, we shall post on Owls Talk, moaning about the inconvenience of it all as we'd planned to visit Aunt Beryl's. Good news though, the BBC's big Christmas Day movie is Carry On Moaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leaping Lannys Perm Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Chuffing televised football is ruining everything. How many matches in November and December actually kick off at three. Do we even get any extra money for all these televised League games or is it just part of the football league contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mkowl Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Chuffing televised football pays about 30% of our budget and everyone else's. Definitely upped the number of games on Sky this season - been up to 4 a week sometimes so given there are 12 games per round of fixtures then the probability of being chosen is quite high. Don't mind the away games being on Home games can be a pain though. Next Saturday I won't bother coming now as it means I can stay and watch my lad play and then avoid 4+ hours on the M1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'llNeverBeMastered Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Yes Middlesbrough away at 1715, few days after Christmas, gives everyone a full day on the pop, could/should be a cracking atmosphere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Means either setting off at the crack of dawn or getting back really late. I appreciate that this is what happens for rearranged home games for you though.

alanharper Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 f*ck off Sky - I'm at a bloody christening on 6th Shouldn't that be "now I've got to miss a christening on 6th"? Even if it's your baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate that this is what happens for rearranged home games for you though. Fair point - personal choice means each home game is an away game for me and many other Wednesday fans. My away trips tend to be just the southern ones so any Northern away games on Sky are bonus games as far as I see it.
